Over the last year these 5 acres of raw land have been worked on to be an off grid retreat. A circular driveway, long dirt road into the forest, several structures and over an acre have been cleared, while maintaining the forest atmosphere. Old tall mammoth trees incircle the cleared area. Most of the property remains dense forest and is in the middle of 100s of acres of dense forest land. This property is remote but very accessible. Power has been added via a solar system which can go with the property. Power lines already cross the property so are easily accessible. A well and septic tank still need to be added, but for a weekend getaway these can be addressed easily. There is NO water or sewage available from public utilities. The county maintains a well 7 miles down the road at the fire station. Its coin operated ... that should give you an idea of how rural the area is ... but it is also within an hour of SDF. The property has had a lot of work done in the last year. The cabin pictured can be purchased along with the property or I can remove it. I'd hope to get 6k for the 12 x 36' cabin that I bought new a year ago for 13k. The property consists of a hill with a flat top that then drops about 20 feet into a ravine and climbs back up the second hill. Each hill is largely covered by Red Cedar and Poplar trees. There are lots of animals on and around the property. Wild turkey, deer and bear tracks have been spotted. The property is bordered to the north by a Wolf Creek tributary and to the south by Pine Ridge Rd. Electric is available on the property as lines already cross the second hill. The property has fiber internet with speeds of 1 gbps. You can go for days without seeing another person or the whole night without a car driving by. A country store is about 7 miles from the property. Its about 20 min from Brandenburg and only 1 hr from Louisville. Within a one mile radius you'll have only about 5 neighbors. The property sits within the now abandoned path of the Ohio River which leads to excellent soil quality. I've never found a rock on the property, just feet and feet of silt. The area is prone to river flooding ... but as the property sits on two hills the majority of the property remains above the 100 yr flood line. Since buying the property I have not experienced any issues with flooding. The creek is at an elevation of 407' and the majority of the cleared area is at 430' to 440' at the highest point. Base flood elevation is 424 ft, the 100 yr flood elevation. The property has 2 12 x 36' cabins that can be purchased additionally. It will come with the 8' x 16' power house shed which adds no value. A fence surrounds the current cleared area offering a basic boundary between the "camp" area and the rest of the woods. The soil quality ... for growing plants is likely the best you'll find. It is silt and loam ... basically 10 ft deep of old river bottom dirt without a rock in it. Below 10 ft ... I don't know...I haven't dug lower.
