Description

PRICE REDUCED! Situated in southern Martin Countys Lost River Township, this 4.92 acre tract offers a compact recreational opportunity surrounded by the scenic terrain characteristic of this part of southern Indiana. The area is known for its blend of private holdings and vast stretches of Hoosier National Forest, providing landowners with nearby access to thousands of acres of public ground for hunting, hiking, and outdoor recreation. The property features approximately 425 feet of frontage along Peggy Hollow Road, a lightly traveled gravel county road. An established entrance with a stone base and culvert is already in place, though it is somewhat overgrown. The drive leads up to a flat bench in the topography that overlooks a stand of mature hardwood forest stretching northward. This area could serve as a natural site for a small camp or cabin. Utilities are conveniently available nearby. Daviess-Martin REMC provides electric service in the area, while Dubois Water Utilities serves rural water customers. An older camper remains at the original camp site, offering a starting point for someone looking to create a simple hunting camp or weekend retreat. Surrounded by mature timber and gently rolling hills, the property offers privacy and a wooded setting suitable for recreation or relaxation. Directly across Peggy Hollow Road lies an access trail into the Hoosier National Forest, providing immediate entry to thousands of acres of public land. The topography of this tract and the surrounding landscape includes a mix of benches, ridges, and hollows typical of southern Indianas hill country. Several game trails have been observed, with deer sign suggesting travel routes between the property and adjacent forested tracts. These features naturally lend themselves to hunting setups or wildlife observation. Although this property offers the feel of a remote getaway, it remains within a comfortable distance of nearby towns and amenities. The property is approximately 8 miles from Shoals, 11 miles from French Lick, 16 miles from Loogootee, 23 miles from Jasper, and 32 miles from Bedford. These communities provide convenient options for supplies, dining, and lodging during extended visits.
