Description

Located in the northeastern corner of Washington County, this recreational and hunting property lies along the banks of the Muscatatuck River. It offers a diverse mix of habitat types, water features, and access points. The layout provides options for hunting, wildlife observation, and outdoor recreation.

The property includes approximately 3.5 acres of slough along its northern boundary, creating a year-round water feature that supports diverse wildlife activity. In the northeastern portion of the farm, nearly 38 acres of old field habitat are broken up by multiple tree lines. This configuration provides edge habitat and natural screening. The old fields offer space for habitat improvement projects, including food plots or native grass plantings, and are currently providing great fawning and nesting habitat. Some of these fields are ideal for prescribed fire management.

Over one-half mile of frontage along the Muscatatuck River provides direct access to the water. Several locations along the bank are suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, or small jon boats, depending on river conditions. The river frontage adds both recreational opportunities and natural habitat diversity to the property. Bald Eagles, river otters, and sandhill cranes are just a few species that are regularly viewed.

Access to the northern portion of the farm is available from Franklin Bottoms Road. A dirt road follows the river and leads to the old field acreage in the northeast corner. The southern third of the property is separated from the rest by Cammie Ditch, but access is available via a short deeded easement into the southeast corner, as well as from Franklin Bottoms Road. This dual-access arrangement provides access to multiple areas of the farm.

The property adjoins approximately 260 acres of inaccessible state-owned ground, expanding the surrounding habitat base. The proximity to additional public land contributes to the overall holding capacity, available cover, and potential wildlife corridors in the area. Terrain consists of river bottom ground with a mix of open fields, sloughs, timbered bottoms, and natural drainage features.

This Washington County acreage offers riverfrontage, diverse established habitat, and multiple access points in a rural setting. It is suited for recreational use, hunting, habitat management, and related outdoor activities.
