3949 E Thornton Road, Madison
$928,490
This +/- 92.849 acre tract in Jefferson County, Indiana offers a large block of hardwood timber with approximately 335 feet of road frontage on East Thornton Road, just west of North Jefferson Road. The property is entirely wooded and sits close to Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge and the city of Madison. A small clearing at the front creates a natural spot for an attractive entrance. A cable is across the entrance of the property. Old logging trails run through the woods. The property was managed by professional foresters for over a decade to ensure natural forest regeneration. A selective timber harvest opened the canopy and encouraged new growth, producing browse and bedding cover for deer, while a good number of oaks remain standing. Those oaks provide acorns for deer and turkey today and represent future harvestable timber for the next owner. From the southeast corner to the northwest corner, the property stretches more than 1,200 yards, leaving room to spread out stand locations, set up for different wind directions, and manage hunting pressure. Tillable ag ground in the surrounding area provides nearby food sources that pull deer and turkey through the neighborhood. Beyond hunting, the property lends itself to camping, hiking, and mountain biking. There are no restrictions, and it is buildable, opening the door to a cabin tucked back in the timber or a secluded home site deep in the woods with no neighbors in view. With approximately 335 feet of road frontage, the acreage also offers potential to be divided into smaller tracts. Whether the goal is a hunting property, a weekend retreat, a long-term timber investment, or a private building site, this +/- 92.849 acre Jefferson County, Indiana tract delivers acreage, mature oaks, trail access, and a strong location.
