Secluded 5.08-Acre Building Site with Cabin Near Bloomington, Indiana If you've been looking for a private, wooded property where you can build your dream home while still being close to Bloomington, this 5.08-acre tract in Monroe County deserves a look. Located approximately 15 minutes north of Bloomington at the very end of West Sylvan Lane, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, recreational potential, and an established homesite. Approximately one acre at the front of the property provides a suitable location for building, with electric and water available at the street directly in front of the property. The property has also previously passed a perk test. An existing approximately 12' x 20' cabin adds immediate recreational use to the property. The cabin features a small wood stove, bunk beds, a loft, and a rear deck overlooking a deep hollow. The elevated setting of the deck provides the potential for beautiful views into the surrounding wooded terrain and makes the cabin a great perk while you plan and develop your future home. Additional outbuildings are already located on the property, providing useful space for storage, tools, equipment, or other needs. These structures could continue to provide practical utility for a future owner or could be removed to create additional space and flexibility when laying out a new homesite. The remaining approximately four acres are wooded, providing excellent privacy and a natural buffer from surrounding properties. The mature timber and brushy cover also provide habitat for a variety of wildlife, making this property appealing to nature lovers, hunters, and anyone who enjoys having wildlife right outside their door. The property is located at the end of West Sylvan Lane, offering a quiet and secluded setting with very little through traffic. Despite the peaceful, wooded surroundings, Bloomington is only approximately 15 minutes away, providing convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, Indiana University, and all of the amenities of the Bloomington area. Whether you're searching for a secluded location to build your permanent residence, a weekend retreat, or a private property with room to grow, this 5.08-acre tract offers an exceptional opportunity in Monroe County.
