Description
Tucked away in one of Orange County’s most picturesque areas near Ethel, this secluded getaway offers absolute tranquility overlooking the quiet cove of Patoka Lake. Surrounded by thousands of acres of Hoosier National Forest, this property ensures privacy and a lasting natural landscape with direct adjacency to federal lands—meaning no future development.
The 336 sq. ft. cabin is equipped with water and electric and sits on a beautifully wooded lot featuring mature hardwoods, rock-lined wet-weather drainages, and a natural flowing spring just below the house. A graveled circle driveway provides ample parking and easy turnaround space, even for boats and trailers.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the established hiking trails leading directly from the property into the National Forest, with Patoka Lake just 1,000 feet away. Several public boat ramps and check stations for forest access are just minutes down the road, while Lucas Oil Golf Course, French Lick Resort & Casino, Marengo Cave, and countless scenic trails across Orange, Crawford, and Perry Counties are all within easy reach.
If you're looking for the ultimate off-grid escape, a weekend retreat, or an investment in a highly sought-after outdoor destination, this property is a rare find. Schedule your private showing today!
