Description
Situated in the northwest corner of Perry County near the Anderson River, this 54.928+/- acre tract offers a diverse landscape and versatile recreation, hunting, and rural living opportunities. With nearly 2,500 feet of frontage along paved Cattail Road, this property provides convenient access to modern amenities while maintaining a quiet, natural setting. High-speed fiber internet and electrical service are available along the road, and a private well and septic system would be needed for residential use.
In the southwest corner, a recently reopened 4.5+/- acre clearing offers an excellent potential homesite or cabin location. Surrounded by mature white pines that create a peaceful atmosphere, this area provides a natural backdrop for those who appreciate privacy and scenic woodland surroundings. The rolling topography and established trail network make exploring the property’s unique terrain easy. Rock-lined drainages wind down from white oak ridges to a picturesque creek bottom, creating both visual appeal and diverse habitat for wildlife.
The headwaters of Rockbranch Creek originate on this tract and flow northwest to the Anderson River. This feature adds recreational value, with opportunities to develop a natural spring, enjoy quiet walks along the creek bed, or observe the native vegetation and wildlife that thrive in this environment.
On the southeast end, another opening sits above the creek bottom where an old homestead once stood. This site already has electric service in place, providing another potential location for a cabin or small residence. The variety of terrain across the property creates excellent hunting potential. While working the land, multiple deer and turkey were observed, and the property includes several key features that appeal to hunters—natural funnels, creek crossings, saddles, and transition zones between vegetation types. The mix of hardwoods, pine, and lowland cover supports a healthy population of game species throughout the year.
Adding to its appeal, this property is surrounded in every direction by scattered sections of the Hoosier National Forest, offering additional public acreage to explore and hunt. The combination of private and public land access enhances the recreational opportunities in this area.
Accessibility is another strength of this tract. It is located only a few miles from Interstate 64 and State Road 231, within an hour’s drive of most major southern Indiana communities. The east side of Evansville lies approximately 50 miles west, while the north side of Louisville is about 55 miles southeast. Nearby towns such as Bristow (8 miles), Ferdinand (15 miles), and Tell City (22 miles) provide dining, shopping, and essential services.
With its balance of utility access, natural beauty, and recreational diversity, this Perry County property stands out as a strong candidate for those seeking a multi-use rural tract. Whether your goals include building a home or cabin, enjoying outdoor recreation, or investing in land with lasting value, this property offers the right combination of features and location to support a variety of future uses.
