About this home

Originally built as a peaceful retreat by acclaimed Indiana author Scott Russell Sanders, this distinctive property has long been a haven for writers, artists, and musicians. Nestled on three wooded acres just six miles from Indiana University and Bloomington's east-side amenities, it offers an exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Studio adds 192sf of living space. New furnace too! The charming two-bedroom home features vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, solid oak doors and trim, and a cozy wood-burning stove. A natural stone pathway leads to a detached artist's studio with soaring ceilings, skylights, wood-paneled interior, and inviting outdoor space—perfect for art, music, writing, or simply relaxing. Adjoining Sycamore Land Trust's Dan Willard Woods preserve, the property offers abundant wildlife, beautiful seasonal scenery, and a peaceful woodland setting. A newer three-bedroom-capacity septic system provides potential for future expansion. Previously operated as a vacation rental, the property also offers potential for short-term rental use, subject to applicable regulations. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, creative sanctuary, or weekend getaway, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of nature just minutes from Bloomington.

A wood cabin on 3 acres in the woods with a second structure that has been used as an artist’s studio. Adjacent to land owned by the Dep tof Conservation and Sycamore Land Trust, the heavily-wooded lot is set up for exquisite fall foliage viewing. Inside are two upper level bedrooms, hardwood floors, a gas range, and wood-burning stove to complete the cabin vibe. Metal roofs adorn both the home and the studio. Inside the studio which by the way has a graciously-sized patio for relaxing, entertaining, etc., prepare for a high vaulted ceiling with skylights and a fully wood-paneled interior. A fenced-in chicken coop/ run rests squarely between the two structures.

Let the creative juices flow at the artist’s retreat: a wood cabin on 3 acres in the woods with a second structure that has been used as an artist’s studio for visual artists, writers, musicians, and more. This property is prime for jolting those creative juices but also just as well set up for a little bit of quiet and seclusion being nestled in the forest. Adjacent to land owned by the Dept of Conservation and Sycamore Land Trust, the heavily-wooded lot is set up for exquisite fall foliage viewing. Inside are two upper level bedrooms, hardwood floors, a gas range, and wood-burning stove to complete the cabin vibe. Metal roofs adorn both the home and the studio.

AG/RR

AREA 3

Agriculture/Rural Reserve District

The character of the Agriculture/Rural Reserve (AG/RR) District is defined as that which is primarily intended for agriculture uses including, but not limited to, row crop or livestock production, forages, pasture, forestry, single family residential uses associated with agriculture uses and limited, very low density, rural non-farm related single family uses and not in (major) subdivisions. Its purposes are to encourage the continuation of agriculture uses, along with the associated single family residential uses, to discourage the development of residential subdivisions and non-farm-related nonresidential uses, to protect the environmentally sensitive areas, such as floodplain and steep slopes, and to maintain the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, the number of uses permitted in the AG/RR District is limited. Some uses are conditionally permitted. The conditions placed on these uses are to insure their compatibility with the agriculture-related uses. The development of new non-farm residential activities proximate to known mineral resource deposits or extraction operations may be buffered by increased setback distance.
