Co Rd 675 S ***, French Lick, IN 47432

Property Description

Located just minutes from the south side of French Lick and a short drive from a boat ramp on Patoka Lake, this 15.75±-acre recreational property offers a rare opportunity to own a secluded ridge-top retreat in one of southern Indiana’s premier outdoor destinations. Tucked into the back of the quiet Wildcat Cove cabin community, the wooded tract features mature hardwoods, privacy, recreational potential, and convenient access to Patoka Lake, Hoosier National Forest, French Lick amenities, and adjoining public land. A standout feature is direct adjacency to 400+/- acres of state-managed forest with restricted access, allowing you to step directly from your property onto a large block of public land for hunting, hiking, wildlife observation, and exploration. The property itself features a broad, elevated ridge-top area near the center of the acreage, offering an excellent potential location for a secluded cabin, recreational retreat, or future getaway surrounded by timber and away from neighboring properties. A cleared right-of-way along the northern boundary adjoining the state forest provides a starting point for developing access toward the ridge-top, although the tract currently has no established road access. Whitetail Properties also has an adjacent 15.75-acre listing with existing gravel road access, offering a potential opportunity to acquire adjoining acreage or improve access to this tract. Wildcat Cove is a platted development with a remote, rural character; not all platted roads are established, and utility and water service have not been extended throughout the development. This property currently lacks established water and road access. Some area owners use cisterns or private wells, while Dubois REC electric service is available in the area. Located on the north side of Patoka Lake, west of State Road 145 and only a few hundred yards from the water’s edge, the property is ideally situated for boating, fishing, kayaking, hiking, and other outdoor recreation. French Lick and West Baden Springs are also a short drive away, offering dining, shopping, entertainment, golf, and other amenities. Whether you’re seeking a hunting property, recreational investment, future cabin site, or private southern Indiana getaway, this property combines location, mature hardwoods, privacy, electric availability, proximity to Patoka Lake, and exceptional access to adjoining state land.
