Nature awaits! This custom home on 9 wooded acres promises endless back yard adventures, is just 7 miles from Indiana University, less than 10 minutes to the lake, and a quick drive to east side attractions. This place is surrounded by forest and nature preserves! Current owners built the home around an existing cabin, maintaining the rustic charm but adding necessary space and comfort. Three bedrooms, two full baths, large living room, and finished porch/office, plus a chef's kitchen (literally; a professional chef designed it). Newer water well installed. Trails and walking paths mark the way to hilltop clearings for gatherings, relaxing. Dogs and kids can't enough of it. House is NOT in a flood plain and the nearby roads are almost always accessible. The owners are intimately familiar with all aspects of the property and are happy to answer questions.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

Forest Reserve District
The character of the Forest Reserve (FR) District is defined as that which is primarily intended for the preservation of forests, recreational areas, parks and greenways, limited agricultural uses and very, very low density single family residential uses. Its purposes are to permit limited single family residential development on very large lots, to discourage the development of residential subdivisions and nonresidential uses, to protect environmentally sensitive areas, such as floodplain and steep slopes and to maintain the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Development in the FR District is hindered by extreme topography, poor access and the availability of few or no public services. Therefore, the number of uses permitted in the FR District is limited. Some uses are conditionally permitted. The conditions placed on these uses are to insure their compatibility with the low-density residential and public open space uses.
