S State Road 145
French Lick, IN 47432

Located just south of French Lick along State Road 145 in Orange County, Indiana, this 14.56+/- acre property combines mature hardwoods, open ground, existing buildings, natural drainages, and convenient access to Southern Indiana recreation. With nearly 1,000 feet of SR 145 frontage, the property offers excellent accessibility and road exposure. Approximately 2 acres of open field near the road provide space for a garden, roadside stand, parking, recreation, or other potential uses. The balance consists primarily of mature hardwood woodland across a large, relatively flat hilltop. The elevated setting provides attractive views and potential locations for a home, cabin, or recreational retreat, subject to applicable regulations. Two existing structures add significant utility. A 32' x 60' x 14' block building with loft provides substantial enclosed space for storage, equipment, hobbies, or agricultural use, with potential for future conversion into an event or gathering space. A 30' x 48' x 10' agricultural pole barn with an established driveway provides additional storage for equipment, vehicles, and recreational gear. Formerly used as a cattle farm, the property features rolling Southern Indiana terrain, mature hardwoods, and two wet-weather drainages that provide natural seasonal water movement. The combination of timber, open ground, terrain, and drainages creates varied habitat that may appeal to wildlife and recreational land enthusiasts. Location is a major asset. The property is a short drive from Hoosier National Forest and Patoka Lake, providing access to hiking, camping, fishing, boating, hunting, and other outdoor recreation. French Lick and West Baden Springs are also nearby, offering dining, lodging, golf, historic attractions, and regional amenities. Utility access adds to the property's potential. Orange REMC electrical service, fiber internet, and Patoka Regional Water Service are identified as available. Buyers should verify service availability, connection requirements, costs, easements, zoning, and building requirements.
