Property Description
Hobby farm on 6 acres provides a two-story house with 2560 SF, a 768SF pole barn, an enclosed shelter at driveway entrance, fenced-in fields, and even an active chicken coop! The property is close to SR45 & Lake Lemon, with easy access to Bloomington & the Indiana University campus, and to SR135 in Brown County. It also abuts the 42-mile Tecumseh Trail (google it!) that connects Lake Monroe to the Morgan-Monroe State Forest HQ. Outside features & scenery support the flexible lifestyle you desire. Turning into the drive, on the right you’ll appreciate the enclosed shelter, once used for children waiting for the school bus. It can also be used as a drop-off site for package delivery. Continuing, you'll see the pole barn with concrete floor, electric and a large sliding access door. Immediately beyond the pole barn is a fenced-in field, perfect for your animal friends. Open the pole barn service door to allow them shelter during inclement weather. This area also opens to the enclosed deck in back of the house, so you could leave that deck door open to allow shelter closer to home. Next is the residence, and beyond that is a chicken coop, currently home to eight of Brown County's finest free-range chickens that produce the best eggs! The house features an open floor plan with hardwood floors. Radiant floor heat is efficient and provides a nice ambience. Fiber-optic connectivity is available for the internet jockey. The living room provides picture windows on front & side walls to enjoy the panorama. The large kitchen includes black stainless steel appliances and offers lots of cabinetry, a pantry and huge kitchen island. The corner sink windows let you enjoy nature while you tend to culinary duties. A separate dining area is large enough for an eight-chair table. The French doors beyond the dining area open to the screened-in porch in back, which itself opens to a large uncovered deck. A large full bath includes space for the washer & dryer and access to the mechanical room, home to radiant floor heat controls, Navien in-line water heater, and Freije water conditioning system. Last on the main level is a large bedroom that could also serve as a home office. Upstairs, the huge primary suite includes a nook for enjoying your favorite morning beverage, a large closet/storage space, and a full bath with jetted tub. Another room upstairs can be used as either an office space, gaming room, or, with a wardrobe, a third bedroom.
