E Crothersville Road Austin IN 47102

Featuring a secluded pasture bordered by mature woods and located just one mile from Hardy Lake, this versatile property is primed for a variety of uses-including a dream home build site, a hunting retreat, or even a boat storage business. With public water, electricity, and fiber optic internet available at the road, the property is well-equipped for future development. The land features a simple rectangular layout, comprising approximately 14 acres of open pasture and 16 acres of woods. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, turkey, and waterfowl frequently traveling through or flying over the property. Conveniently situated less than five miles from Interstate 65, the location offers easy access to both Indianapolis and Louisville. Its close proximity to Hardy Lake opens the door to numerous possibilities, such as a primary residence, weekend getaway cabin, hunting lodge, or a convenient boat storage facility for lake visitors looking to avoid towing their boats home every weekend. Hardy Lake itself is a standout feature-an Indiana State Park spanning over 2,100 acres, including 741 acres of stable, year-round water. Unlike other reservoirs, Hardy Lake wasn't built for flood control, which means the water level remains consistent, benefiting shoreline aesthetics, fishing, and local wildlife. The area provides a wide array of recreational opportunities including hiking, boating, swimming, skiing, camping, and more. Hardy Lake is also known for its surrounding limestone cliffs, caves, and fossil-rich terrain. Hardy Lake is home to one of only three DNR-operated raptor centers in Indiana, where guests can learn about native birds of prey such as hawks, owls, falcons, and vultures-many of which reside permanently at the center due to injury. This property presents an opportunity to own a multi-use piece of land with excellent development potential in a truly unique and scenic area.
