Description
Check out this genuinely unique renovated homesteader's cabin sitting on expansive private acreage with national forest adjacency! Whether you want to pursue a legitimate self-sufficient lifestyle or you’re simply looking for a property with privacy and few neighbors, this property provides all the necessary ingredients for both! Providing lots of character, the core of the home dates back to 1812 and consists of a 16’x16’ one-room pioneer’s cabin that has been carefully preserved and added on to. This 3 bedroom/3 bath home offers plenty of room for gatherings and features a large eat-in kitchen and multiple common areas throughout including a large 4 season room overlooking the pasture acreage. Although this property is perfectly capable of going off-grid, you’ll stay connected thanks to the installed high-speed fiber optic internet service. With nearly 8+/- acres of open pasture ground, you’ll have plenty of room for raising livestock or keeping horses. If you’re an outdoorsman, this space would serve well as a food plot for area wildlife while also providing a 400+/- yard rifle range. Up towards the house, you’ll find raised garden beds, compost heaps, utility sheds, and an old chicken coop that could easily be cleaned up and put back into service. There is also a 1/4 +/- acre stocked pond that is said to have good fishing just above the home and adjacent to a 30x40’ pole barn that provides plenty of space for equipment storage. The entire N/W boundary consists of nearly 4000’ of frontage along beautiful rock-lined Dillard Creek complete with its very own well-made covered bridge crossing. The neighbor across the creek is the historic Providence Baptist church and cemetery; established in 1819. To top things off, this property sits adjacent to nearly 200+/- acres of Hoosier National Forestry. If you’ve been searching for a property that has all the ingredients for creating a self-sufficient homestead or just want a remote place with no neighbors, you should certainly take a closer look at this listing. With all its unique qualities, we’re sure it won’t last long.
