Located in southern Pike County, just south of Union along the Pike and Gibson County line, this 50.5±-acre property offers a recreational, hunting, or land-improvement opportunity in a productive agricultural and wildlife area of southwestern Indiana. The property includes approximately 16.5± FSA acres with predominantly Class II Alford silt loam soils, ridge-top open ground, mature hardwood timber, and multiple utility corridors. The former agricultural acreage has been fallow for several years and is now covered in young poplar saplings, with portions potentially suitable for reclamation to agricultural production, food plots, wildlife habitat, or other uses. The balance transitions into hardwood timber featuring red oak, white oak, hickory, and maple. A three-phase powerline corridor approximately 140 feet wide crosses the tract, creating open, early-successional habitat and additional edge, while two buried gas line clearings also run generally north-south, adding habitat diversity and potential wildlife travel routes or hunting locations, subject to utility easements and restrictions. A significant consideration is access. An abandoned former county road runs along the eastern boundary, with remnants still present, but access will need to be improved. Establishing or confirming legal access may require legal review and potentially a court judgment. Buyers should independently verify access, easements, road rights, title matters, and any actions needed to establish usable access. The surrounding landscape features large agricultural fields, secluded timber, and woodlots, providing a strong mix of food and cover for wildlife. With thoughtful management, the property could potentially be improved through reclaiming open ground, establishing food plots, managing early-successional cover, improving internal access, and creating strategic hunting locations. This is not a turnkey hunting farm, but for a buyer willing to address the access challenge and invest in habitat improvements, the combination of location, soils, timber, and diverse habitat creates an opportunity to build value over time.
