2145 S. Flatrock River Road, Lot#WP001 , Rushville, IN 46173(Rush County)

Just minutes southwest of Rushville is this ideal recreational farm along the Flatrock River! Part of the largest contiguous tract of hardwood river bottom timber in the area, this chunk of prime bottomland habitat is loaded with deer sign and offers huge potential for a serious hunter dreaming of owning and managing his own property at a very affordable price. The farm has great asphalt road access off of Flatrock River Road and features a board fence along the frontage to keep unwanted access in check. There is approximately 10 acres of tillable land that is in corn and soybean rotation in the front field that currently brings in $1,800.00 in annual cash-rent income. The “back” field is currently in pasture and comprises right at 1.5 acres. Converted into a food plot or a stand of warm season grasses this field could add a whole new dimension to the attractiveness and deer holding power of the property. The timber consists of many bottom-soil loving hardwood species including sycamore, ash, walnut, cottonwood and maple. The timber has not been harvested in over 15 years and many marketable logs are available now to sell. There is access to the river along the north property line and a great location to launch a canoe or kayak. The river offers great fishing for many gamefish including some awesome smallmouth bass! Deer numbers are high along this river and the buck sign is everywhere including deep, wide tracks and rubs everywhere. Of course, this property would also offer great small game hunting for squirrel and rabbits but there are also quail and wild turkeys here too. Imagine calling a big gobbler into range in the scenic bottoms during the spring green-up. To add additional beauty, there have been nesting bald eagles living in the immediate area and sightings are common. Unfortunately, the property is in a flood plain so no buildings will be permitted but for a person wanting to implement some habitat improvement projects such as timber harvesting and timber stand improvement work, access trails through the woods, planting plots in the pasture and possibly edge buffers and potential stands of warm-season grasses and/or tree plantings in all or parts of the big field, this place has tremendous potential to be a home run. Shown by appointment only.
