$350,000
Owned and cared for by the same owner for 50 years, this property offers an incredible amount of space and flexibility for hobbies, animals, storage, workshops, or creating your own homestead-style setup. The home features living space on both levels, including kitchen areas upstairs and downstairs, two bedrooms on each level, and a main-level office that offers additional flexible space. Two wood-burning biomass heating systems — one on each level — provide an economical, dependable heat source, complemented by hot-water heat and highly efficient heat-pump mini-split cooling on each level. Hardwood floors, main-level laundry, and a large wraparound deck add to the home's appeal. Built for the long term with low maintenance in mind, the house and 3-car garage are topped with standing-seam, hidden-fastener, factory-fabricated, fire-rated metal roofing carrying a manufacturer-rated 100-year service life. All outbuildings feature painted metal roofing as well. Outside is where this property really stands out. A 24x36 garage with overhead storage provides plenty of room for vehicles and equipment. A separate large barn, previously used for horses, offers options for animals or additional storage. The impressive 64x30 building provides even more possibilities, with a workshop area above and a lower-level garage/basement space. A large concrete area offers additional room for gatherings, projects, or outdoor use. There is even a 6x8 walk-in cooler on the property. Ideally positioned between a major federal military installation and the Bloomington area — home to Indiana University — the property offers convenient access to employment, amenities, and everything the region has to offer. With five acres, multiple substantial outbuildings, and an incredibly versatile setup, this is a property with plenty of room to make it your own. Whether you're looking for workshop space, storage, room for animals, or simply a property that gives you options, there is a lot here to work with—and plenty of potential still to discover.
