Description
This offering presents a unique opportunity to acquire 21.73± acres in LaPorte County, combining a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with an additional 16.45± acres of established wildlife habitat. Located just outside Rolling Prairie along State Road 2, the property offers a desirable combination of country living, recreational opportunities, and convenient access to Rolling Prairie, LaPorte, and surrounding communities. The 5.28±-acre homesite features approximately 2,000 square feet of living space, with several improvements that enhance its functionality and appeal. A four-seasons room overlooks the back portion of the property and offers an open-concept connection to the kitchen, creating an inviting space for everyday living or entertaining. Off the rear of the home, a wrap-around deck overlooks the backyard and provides an excellent place to enjoy the surrounding acreage. The deck flooring has recently been updated with new boards. A freshly updated lean-to provides additional storage for equipment, lawn, and recreational items, while the septic tank has recently been pumped. The additional 16.45± acres are where this property really stands out for the recreational buyer. The acreage is enrolled in the Classified Forest program, offering a potential property tax advantage to a future owner while helping preserve the property's wooded character. The tract has received extensive habitat improvements, including maintained trails, established stand locations, strategically carved food plots, and thick bedding cover designed to provide quality habitat throughout the property. A powerline easement crosses the acreage, creating additional open space that could provide opportunities to expand food plots or other habitat improvements. The property has a strong history of producing quality whitetails. An important feature of the surrounding landscape is nearby city-owned land that is not hunted, providing a natural sanctuary and security cover for mature deer. The combination of sanctuary, bedding cover, food sources, established stand locations, and carefully maintained access creates a property with the habitat and surrounding conditions needed to attract and hold mature whitetails consistently. Access is another major advantage, with State Road 2 providing access to both the homesite and the additional vacant acreage. This allows the recreational portion of the property to function independently from the residence while still providing convenient access for hunting and habitat management. With 21.73± total acres, a comfortable home, the Little Kankakee River winding through the property, extensive habitat improvements, Classified Forest enrollment, established hunting infrastructure, and a favorable surrounding landscape, this property offers a rare opportunity to combine a residence with a turnkey recreational property in a convenient LaPorte County location.
