Description
Tucked at the end of a quiet county road near Friendship, Indiana, this secluded recreational tract is a ready-made basecamp for hunters, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Known as Happy Valley, the property feels like stepping back in time. Believed to be an early settler’s farm, the land is rich with history—stone walls and old foundations are scattered throughout, perfect for metal detecting, relic hunting, or simply enjoying a piece of Indiana’s past.
A fairly new gravel parking area easily fits multiple RVs, campers, and vehicles. Electric and high-speed internet are already on site, with new meters in place—ideal for setting up a semi-permanent hunting camp or remote retreat. The land is buildable and could make an amazing rural country homesite with views of the valley and creek. Those looking for a secluded build site will not find a better option than the end of a gravel wooded road.
The land features a great mix of open mature trees and thick cedar bedding cover. The southern half offers more canopy and cedars. The northern section is dense with early successional growth and tree tops for deer bedding and loaded with rubs, trails, and turkey sign. Trail cams show daily wildlife activity, including a rare color-phase coyote.
Two creeks merge on-site and flow into Caesar’s Creek, which eventually drains to Laughery Creek. Trails from the parking area lead to the creeks and across the ridges. Several stone walls follow the water or climb the hillside—believed to mark old livestock zones or property lines.
Only minutes from Friendship, home of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association and the well-known Friendship Flea Market—both major draws for outdoorspeople nationwide.
Shown by appointment only to pre-qualified buyers. No trespassing, please.
