40+/- acres of pure Indiana beauty on Mapes Road in Noble County. This rare parcel is a dream for conservation investors, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a private retreat. The land features a stunning blend of rolling fields, mature (6 acres) woods, and open meadows, with two natural water sources ideal for wildlife, habitat restoration, or future pond development. Enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP-since 1998, contract is up in 2027), the property provides annual income while ensuring long-term land stewardship and environmental sustainability. Wildlife thrives here—deer, turkey, quail, fox, and more—making it ideal for hunting, hiking, or camping. Secluded yet easily accessible, it offers multiple scenic building sites for a lodge or dream home. Gently elevated terrain provides peaceful views, while established trails and wildlife corridors invite exploration and recreation. This property also holds potential for tax benefits and future income through conservation easements or carbon credit programs. With a limited supply of mid-sized, high-quality tracts in the region, this is a protected investment with lasting value. Located just minutes from Kendallville and a short drive to Fort Wayne, it’s a chance to own a legacy property that combines purpose and peace. “They’re not making land like this anymore”—don’t miss this opportunity to preserve something truly special.
