PUTNAM COUNTY, INDIANA

Putnam County, Indiana – Land For Sale | Welcome to Timber Springs Farm! A short drive from Indianapolis and just minutes east of Brazil, conveniently accessible from a blacktop road yet perfectly located in the beautiful Putnam County countryside. Behind the securely gated entryway awaits a winding 1/3 mile driveway that allows you to view tall timber, colorful fields of wildflowers, whispering pines and ultimately your quiet, secluded and oh-so-peaceful destination – a three bedroom, 2 bath 2,160 sq ft home overlooking a beautiful woodland pond with its newly built expansive dock. With the original structure built by the family in 1989, more additions to the family meant more room was needed, so a size-able addition was added in 1995. On a clean well for water with a recently replaced well pump and plumbing, there is plenty of fresh water pressure to suit your needs. Additionally a recently replaced propane furnace and air conditioning unit will keep you comfortable during all the seasons. Finally a new roof was just installed this past May.
This farm has been a decades long Christmas tree farm where a very involved family invested much labor and love annually to maintain, grow and provide beautiful Christmas trees for a long list of repeat customers. By family, it truly was an all hands on deck family affair where everyone pitched in to do what was required to keep this legacy farm’s tree business operating smoothly. In fact the small white building situated on the right side of the driveway just before you reach the beautiful stand of mature White Pines was dubbed “The Tree House” as it was the base of operations and the office where customers would purchase their prized Christmas trees.
Time doesn’t stand still and although the farm is no longer active in selling trees you can certainly sense the hustle and bustle of the past and have an appreciation for what this beautiful property has meant to this family through the generations. Waiting for its next family to carefully love and care for it, this property has so many potential uses, especially to the nature lover and outdoor enthusiast. Not just a quiet retreat, this property offers so much in the way of hunting, hiking, working the land, planting, growing, harvesting and merely enjoying the type of life that we all yearn for. Where great family memories will be created with each other enjoying a special slice of God’s creation. Whitetail deer are here and their sign is everywhere along with the evidence of some really nice Putnam County mature bucks! Wild turkeys are also residents, in fact upon my very first visit, I watched a hen turkey walk up the driveway in front of me as I inched along. Later, I also witnessed likely the same hen with a brood of young poults that she successfully hatched. The beautifully colorful fields of wildflowers, native warm season grasses and emerging young trees are actually the product of a CRP program, where the landowner took tillable land out of crop production and enrolled it into a program which provided for the installation of these wildlife friendly species, and additionally provided annual payments for the family. The contract has recently expired, so the new owner can choose what to do next with these fields. Explore the options of re enrollment? Convert some to tillable fields to grow corn and soybeans or hay? Or possibly take small sections out and plant food plots of various types to even further the attractiveness of this magical place! A practical and sturdy 12 x 16 shed allows secure storage of your lawn and property maintenance tools and equipment.
The rolling hardwood timber located east of the home and pond beckon you with a walking trail to explore the beauty. Do not miss the gorgeous sandstone outcroppings found in the ravine just below the pond dam. There is even a waterfall that drops at least 10-15 feet! This area is photo worthy to anyone who discovers it. The timber on this property has been carefully managed by the landowner with input from the very respected consulting forester Jack Nelson. With Jack’s observations and advice the landowner has certainly provided the perfect environment for marketable tree species to grow to their best potential.
