About this home

Tucked along East Brushy Fork Road in Jefferson County, Indiana, this 290.1+/- acre tract combines size, water, wildlife habitat, and history rarely found together. The property is a contiguous, essentially rectangular tract, with only a small portion lying across the road in the NW corner, and carries 1,500+/- feet of frontage along East Brushy Fork Road. Water defines 2 sides of this farm. The eastern boundary runs along Molly's Run Creek, and the property carries an additional 1,800+/- feet of frontage along Brushy Fork, giving wildlife reliable water access and natural travel corridors. The land carries deep family history. Once worked as fields and pastures, it was homesteads and barns, including homes dating to the 1800s. Stone foundations, stone walls, and stone fences remain today. Two notable historical features are found here: a historical burial place known as Indian Mound, and Lawson Cemetery, home to a large monument honoring William Lawson, born in 1795 in Scotland and died in 1873. Since farming use ended, thick brush and low cover have grown in alongside mature timber of varied species, creating excellent year-round habitat for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and small game, all common here in a region known for producing large deer genetics. The property is a strong candidate for a Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) program, and the brush and invasive growth present an opportunity for EQIP cost-share funding for invasive species removal. Get paid tens-of-thousands to remove invasives and improve the property. Recreational infrastructure is already in place, with over 5,000 yards, or roughly 2.8+/- miles, of established trails and multiple food plots throughout the property, ready for a new owner to hunt or continue managing. Large tracts are becoming increasingly rare and this +-290.1 acres far exceeds the qualifications. Hunting, off-roading, land investment, mountain biking, and recreation await on this massive property.
