Property Description

Historic railroad beds crossing the northern portion of the property provide additional access and excellent trails throughout the woods. Near the center of the property lies the historic Blue Hole Quarry. Naturally reclaimed over time, it blends seamlessly into the surrounding mature forest while adding unique history and character to the landscape. The southern portion of the property includes approximately 130 feet of frontage along US Highway 50 and approximately 2 ± acres of commercially zoned ground, providing flexibility for future development or investment. An existing illuminated advertising billboard may offer future income potential for the next owner (subject to INDOT permitting requirements).
