Description

With electric on site and a perc test on file, this 40.5-acre wooded parcel is ready for new ownership. Shaped like a flagstaff, the property is set back off the road, providing excellent privacy. Ideal for building a home, camping, hunting, hiking, or a combination of all, this land offers multiple possibilities. A long gravel driveway extends to the southwest corner of the tract, where electric meters and hookups are installed, along with the location of the completed perc test for future septic installation. Although situated in a rural area, the property offers convenient access to US 421, allowing easy travel to Versailles and Madison. Both towns feature a variety of restaurants, shopping, and grocery options. The area is well known for outstanding deer and turkey hunting, with nearby crop fields providing consistent food and cover throughout the growing and hunting seasons. A recent timber harvest created a network of trails across the property, perfect for trail riding or walking. The thinning of the canopy has also improved sunlight penetration, enhancing habitat, food growth, and security for wildlife. Nature and outdoor recreation are easily accessible, with Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge – a 50,000-acre preserve – located just a few miles away. Within a 30-minute drive, Versailles State Park, Clifty Falls State Park, and Splinter Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area can also be found. Located in Ripley County, near the Jefferson and Switzerland County lines, this property exemplifies the hunting, farming, and rural country lifestyle the region is known for.
