Land for Sale. 15.25 acres less than 1 mile from Versailles State Park in Ripley County, IN!

Description

LAND FOR SALE - 15.25 ACRES NEAR VERSAILLES STATE PARK!

Located just outside the Versailles city limits and less than one mile from the entrance to Versailles State Park, this 15.25-acre property offers an excellent combination of hunting, recreation, and future building potential.

An open area provides a nice setting for a small cabin, home, or barndominium, and an existing gravel lane gives you immediate access to the property. Not ready to build? Pull in the camper and start enjoying the property right away.

For the whitetail hunter, this tract has several features worth paying attention to. The wooded acreage has plenty of deer sign along with excellent native browse, and several benches following the natural contours create predictable travel routes for deer moving through the property. A small brassica food plot is already established, along with a good block of plot screening to help provide additional security and concealment around the hunting area.

One of the most interesting aspects of this property for the serious deer hunter is its proximity to Versailles State Park. Indiana did not conduct its State Park Deer Management Hunts during the 2025 season, meaning deer that otherwise could have been harvested through those hunts received another year of survival. For a property sitting less than a mile from the park, that creates an interesting opportunity heading into the 2026 deer season-particularly for hunters interested in the potential for improved buck age structure in and around this large block of public ground.

And Versailles State Park offers much more than just thousands of acres of neighboring habitat. At approximately 5,988 acres, it is Indiana's second-largest state park and features a 230-acre lake, more than 8 miles of designated hiking trails, 16 miles of mountain-bike trails, approximately 25 miles of horseback riding trails, fishing, canoe/kayak and rowboat rentals, a nature center, reservable picnic shelters, and extensive camping facilities including 226 electric campsites. During the summer, the park also offers a 25-meter swimming pool, 100-foot waterslide, children's wading pool, and other family amenities. Having all of this less than a mile away adds another dimension to the property, whether you're looking for a hunting base camp, weekend getaway, future cabin site, or recreational property.

With hunting season underway, the food plot established, good deer sign on the property, and nearly 6,000 acres of Versailles State Park practically next door, this is a tract you can purchase and begin enjoying immediately. Hunt it, camp on it, build a weekend cabin, or eventually make it your permanent home.
