Black Walnut Plantation for Sale in Ohio County, In
Location Near Dillsboro, IN 47018
Size 29 Acres
Type 25-Year-Old Black Walnut Plantation
Description Nestled in the scenic Ohio County near Dillsboro, Indiana, this 29-acre Black Walnut Plantation presents a rare and lucrative investment opportunity. Established 25 years ago, this plantation boasts a thriving stand of genetically superior Purdue 1 Black Walnut trees, developed by esteemed Purdue University professor, Walt Beineke. These trees, known for their rapid growth and straighter trunks, were cultivated directly from walnut seeds rather than bare root transplants, ensuring their robustness and vitality.
The plantation thrives in sandy loam soil within a floodplain, conditions ideal for Black Walnut cultivation. Meticulously maintained, each tree has been limbed up to 20 feet, promoting exceptional timber quality. The plantation's significance is underscored by its selection as the site for the annual Walnut Council meetings in 2006 and 2012.
Designed with precision, the trees are planted in north/south and east/west rows to maximize sunlight exposure. This strategic layout not only enhances growth but also facilitates easy maintenance, with the option to mow in both directions. Additionally, a nurse crop of Black Locust trees was planted to enrich the soil with nitrogen, further promoting the walnut trees' growth. These locust trees, now outpaced by the towering walnuts, offer potential for harvest as fence posts or firewood.
Located at the confluence of two creeks, the property also provides excellent recreational opportunities, including kayaking, canoeing, fishing, camping, and hunting for whitetail deer and turkey. Whether you seek future timber harvest potential or an outstanding recreational retreat, this Black Walnut Plantation offers a unique and promising investment.
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of nature's bounty with substantial future income potential and diverse recreational benefits. Contact us today to schedule a viewing and explore the endless possibilities this exceptional property offers.
