Large properties are rare in Indiana in recent years so this +/-253 acres in Ohio County is a unique opportunity! A quick list of key features includes a 4-bedroom home built in 1886 with modern updates, original hardwood plank floors, fiber optic internet, municipal water, generator, security/camera system, 100 x 65 pole barn, 60 x 40 garage/workshop, and a half mile of creek frontage on locally beloved Laughery Creek. With over 13,000 sq. ft. under roof, there is more than enough space for hobbies, possible event space development, and businesses/operations of all sizes. Currently there are over 120 acres of mature timberland, some tillable acreage with potential for more, hay fields, and extensive pastures for recreational use, horses, cattle, or even a winery. The home is perfectly placed to look out over the beautiful hills with dramatic views and sunsets. Inside the solid, well-kept traditional Indiana farmhouse, there are high ceilings, strong bones and historic character. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor with one currently used as an office. The huge eat in kitchen is the heart of the house with maple cabinetry and newer appliances. In the rear, native cedar paneling lines the large pantry/mud room and storage area. The upstairs has 2 spacious bedrooms with closets and extensive attic storage. The bedrooms are split by a cozy shared library and reading loft. The garage/workshop has 2 overhead double garage doors, concrete floors, alarm system, and a divided wall for added security in the workshop. The biggest barn is a massive 100 x 65 open pole barn for storing large equipment, vehicles, RV's/campers, or offering endless conversion possibilities for businesses or development. The other barns vary in age, but are in amazing condition with newer metal roofs. The large black tobacco barn is 38 x 52 with heavy timber construction and stalls, while the smaller barn is 21 x 24. This is truly an exceptional farm that should not be missed.
