5484 N State Road 135, Salem, IN 47167

Beautiful recreational and tillable property located in scenic Washington County on State Road 135 north of Salem. This property boasts approx. 50 acres of good, fertile, tillable crop ground with a Crider Silt Loam Soil Type. The annual crop yields have been very good. This much acreage of tillable can provide a very good annual return on investment. The timber ground surrounding the crop field has a good mix of upland and bottomland hardwoods including poplar, white oak, sugar maple, red oak, chinkapin white oak, hickory and black walnut. The diverse size classes of the timber and the species mix make this a great timber investment property. The cabin has 3 bedrooms, living room with a brick fireplace, full basement with poured concrete walls, a partial wrap around porch, and overlooks the crop field and pasture as well as the grape arbor making this the perfect off grid home site. The basement has a water collection tank from the roof runoff as well as a wood burning furnace for more modern conveniences. Imagine sitting on the porch in the evening watching the bucks chasing the does or listening to the turkeys gobble in the spring. This property provides great opportunities for hunting with its open pastures and crop fields as well as the diverse timber types. The large crop field surrounded by acres of timberland just begs for an opportunity to tag a trophy whitetail. The pastures provide plenty of opportunity for a homestead farm raising chickens, goats or other critters. The upper pasture close to the shop is enclosed via a high fence for added opportunities raising livestock. With a little TLC the Apple Orchard and Grape Arbor could produce a bountiful harvest for homesteaders as well as a fabulous food source for hungry whitetails. There is a usable barn just below the cabin which would be great for storing equipment or housing critters. The barn has stairs with a loft for easy access. Towards the back of the property is a Sugar Shack just waiting for that first flow of Sugar Maple Sap to be cooked down. The location of the shack with the lay of the terrain makes this a perfect site for gravity flow sap collection directly to the shack. The entrance of the property has a nice shop building which can also serve as a bunk house or can be used for storage. City water and electric are available at the road. The shared drive coming into the property is an easement for the neighbor. A recent survey has been completed on the property. This property is shown by appointment only.
