Description

30.12 +/- Acres on the Wabash River | Huntington County, IN

This 30.12 +/- acre tract sits just southwest of Huntington and fronts both the Wabash River and North 200 W. It offers excellent hunting, with taxes kept low by its enrollment in Indiana's Classified Forest program.

The Land
The Wabash forms the property's northeast boundary, giving you river frontage and a scenic setting. From the river bottom, the land climbs through wooded draws to high ridges, which makes for varied terrain and great hunting setups.

River bottom: about 712 ft along the Wabash
Lower slopes: about 720-728 ft, a gradual rise out of the bottom
Mid slopes: about 752-760 ft, where defined draws and benches funnel wildlife
Ridge tops: up to about 768 ft, with mature red and white oaks
That adds up to roughly 55 feet of elevation change across the property.

Hunting
River frontage, hardwood ridges, and bottomland together create excellent habitat. The property holds great deer and turkey hunting, and the Wabash brings waterfowl opportunities. Oak mast on the ridges and the travel corridor along the river keep wildlife moving through the property.

Income and Tax Benefits

Classified Forest enrollment: significantly reduced property taxes
Easement income: an easement with the City of Huntington to access, maintain, and install wells currently generates $2,000 in income. The contract is included in the attachments.
Walnut plantings: a long-term timber asset in the river bottom
Location
The property is just minutes southwest of Huntington, with easy access to both Huntington and Andrews. Nearby recreation includes J. Edward Roush Lake and Fish & Wildlife Area just east, and Salamonie Lake to the south. I-69 is close by for an easy drive to Fort Wayne, about 30 miles northeast. That makes this a great getaway or investment property for buyers from across northeast Indiana.

Access and Building Potential
The property is currently accessed by an easement. The ridge tops may offer a possible building site, but any building would be up to the buyer to work out with Huntington County.
