MARTIN COUNTY, INDIANA

Indiana Land For Sale | This property could be considered the “all-inclusive” sportsman’s paradise with everything it has to offer the recreational and outdoors-loving family. Let’s start with the fact that it is gated and very private with entrances at both the north and south ends. The lodge and shop are located at the northern-most portion overlooking the lake, with more on that later. You are greeted to the lodge/cabin with massive posts supporting an equally impressive timber-framed porch structure offering an out of the weather concrete entrance. The living quarters are fantastically finished and furnished with everything being included in this offering. There are 1850 square feet of living quarters with an open-concept kitchen with center island dining area. Massive beams overhead give the kitchen a feel of western cabin. Adjacent to the kitchen and dining area is a massive stone fireplace with leather couches and recliners to enjoy the after-hours story time and relaxation. The flat screen tv mounted above the fireplace will keep you entertained when the stories wind down. The central open area beyond the living room area is home to a pool table with a ping pong table overlay. The master bedroom and bath are located just off this area of the first floor. The view from this and all the bedrooms is overlooking your nearly 18 acre lake! Upstairs you will find two more spacious guest bedrooms with a central bathroom located for convenience. Both upstairs and down bathrooms have heated floors for comfort on those early fall morning rises. The stairs and hand-railing are robust in stature and add more of the rocky mountain lodge look and feel. The entire living quarters area has stained wood siding and trim with pleasant earth-tones in look, feel and even smell! There is plenty of closet space in each bedroom along with their own flat-screen. A very creative and ingenious use of space is the hidden utility room that is accessed through what appears to be a tall kitchen pantry door. Behind the kitchen wall you will find a couple of hidden rooms that contain a stacked washer and dryer combination, a microwave oven built-in more cabinet space and then a second room with the water softener, well pressure tank, the on-demand hot water heater and reverse-osmosis water treatment for the fridge and kitchen sink. Other note-worthy values are an automatically triggered back up generator, ring door bell security system, a recent septic system, the concrete porch/patio also wraps the south side and is under roof for protection from the weather. All of these improvements to the lodge have been completed within the last year and a half.
The shop area of the building is approximately 32 x 40, plenty big enough for all your equipment, implements, toys and tools. With 3 huge overhead doors, you can easily park a large RV or any truck inside. The interior walls and ceiling are finished in metal and electrical outlets are many with more than adequate lighting above. There is a floor drain for cleaning equipment and game, and a stainless steel sink area for great convenience.
Now back to the 17 plus-acre lake, this is more than a pond! There is a concrete boat ramp to unload/load your fishing boat. Next to the boat ramp you have a boat dock to tie up to with enough room for staging your gear and guests. The fishing in this lake is awesome with trophy size Largemouth Bass and Crappie with plenty of Bluegill and Catfish to keep it exciting. Forage species of shad and shiner keep the Largemouth well-fed and healthy! There are several “fishing stations” that are points designed to jut out into toward the center of the water to get you closer to the action.
As you can imagine, waterfowl abound are are constantly landing and spending time on the lake. There are constantly Mallards and Canada Geese seen daily with a healthy population of Wood Ducks in the mix too both on the lake and frequenting the pools of the creeks below the dam.
Regarding the creek(s) there are actually 2 creeks that converge in this property. Both the larger Indian Creek and Sulphur Creek join together not far south of the dam of the lake as they wind through the timber heading south to ultimately join with the White River. There is a heavy duty, 20,000 pound-rated steel bridge that crosses Indian Creek just above the convergence.
Getting around on the property is very efficient because of the one-plus miles of white rock roads. This is a place that you definitely don’t need a four wheel drive vehicle to comfortably travel through. In the center of the “southern 250 acres” water and electricity have been brought all the way in to a high ridge near the center (see black marker) providing utilities for another gorgeous and remote home site. In fact this 250 acres can be purchased separately. Please inquire.
Hunting improvements include 5 planted food plots in various locations with each one having its own elevated blind for staying well-concealed while waiting for that mature buck to step out. Along with the newer food plots the 2 tillable fields near the lake and lodge total 43 acres of row crop production acres for additional food sources and cash-rent income of $7,525 annually.
The owner has been practicing quality deer management, allowing younger bucks to reach maturity and providing ample food and security for a healthy and growing deer herd. The turkey numbers are very healthy too, and many gobblers are heard on the surrounding ridges and seen strutting for the hens in the open fields.
This is a beautiful and spacious private property that really does need to be seen to be truly appreciated. Offering many species of game and fish to pursue along with the solitude and relaxation that only nature can provide. Shown by appointment only to pre-qualified buyers. Please call or text Tom James at 317-752-5781 to arrange your private showing.
