W 225 North, Princeton, IN 47670

Description

Located between Princeton and Patoka, just east of Hwy 41 in Gibson County, Indiana, this 38.71 +/- acre recreational property is nearly all wooded and offers frontage and access on both Old Patoka Rd and Bald Hill Rd. The north entrance off Bald Hill Rd opens to a 2 +/- acre open ag field that sits adjacent to roughly 8 +/- acres of creek bottom, making it a natural spot for a screened north end food plot or a possible cabin or camper site. Follow the edge of the field or cut through the bottom on the established trail to reach the back cove of the field, where about 1/3 +/- acre could be developed into a ridgetop food plot with a view.

The balance of the property is a broad hardwood ridgetop with mostly southern exposure. This 20 +/- acre block of mixed hardwood timber was cut approximately 12 to 15 years ago and has grown into thick, diverse cover. Remnant logging roads wind through the woods and could easily be reopened with an afternoon of chainsaw work, giving a new owner quiet access routes to stand sites. A second access point on the west side off Old Patoka Rd includes trail access, allowing you to enter and exit based on wind direction.

The deer sign on this property is exceptional. The old logging roads are lined with low hanging autumn olive and spicebush, and we found numerous large community scrape hubs, heavily used trails, big tracks, and large rubs on black locust saplings throughout the woods. Our team was genuinely impressed by the amount of buck sign here, and we believe a mature buck is using this property right now.

With two road frontages, an open field, creek bottom, and a timbered ridge, this tract offers a well rounded mix of habitat for whitetail hunting, food plots, and recreation just minutes from Princeton.
