Set on a private, wooded 1-acre lot, this unique 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare blend of cabin-in-the-woods charm with convenient access to Bloomington amenities. Spanning three levels with a walk-out basement and upper-level loft, the home provides flexible living space, creatives, or anyone seeking privacy without isolation. The walk-out basement welcomes you into an L-shaped living area featuring a newer wood-burning stove (approximately 5 years old), a built-in coat storage, and a bench—perfect for everyday functionality. This level also includes a bedroom, full bath, den, family room, laundry room, utility space, and abundant storage. The main level features two bedrooms located off the stairwell, a centrally placed full bathroom, and an open-concept living room and kitchen highlighted by a dramatic A-frame ceiling and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. Recently refinished wraparound decking extends the living space outdoors and offers a peaceful setting to enjoy surrounding wildlife, including deer and birds. The upper-level loft overlooks the main living area and provides additional storage and versatile space ideal for a music room, office, or quiet retreat. Views from the loft to the main level create a striking architectural focal point. Major mechanical updates include a newer HVAC system (approx. 3 years), hot water heater (approx. 2 years), and roof (approx. 5 years), making this home truly move-in ready. Located just minutes from Bloomington High School North, Tri-North Middle School, and Arlington Elementary, with bus service at the end of the driveway. Enjoy the flexibility of Bloomington or Ellettsville school systems. Only 12–15 minutes from Indiana University, yet tucked away in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with long-time, supportive neighbors. A rare opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, nature, and character—without sacrificing convenience.

AG/RR
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.
