A DESIRABLE, striking prospect & exceptional price for this acreage in Northwest Allen County School system for building your dream home! Gently rolling & sloped terrain laid out in such a way as to facilitate a walkout basement or large windows in a daylight basement that could overlook an excavated pond. The house could be laid out to capture sunrise in the Master Bedroom & /or Kitchen/Eating Area; and relax on a screened/enclosed porch, deck, patio or pool deck watching the sun set behind the tree line. Incorporate lots of expansive windows to bring picturesque views from every window into the interior-scape. Too many possibilities for footprint of house to explore all, the seller is an architect and is happy to discuss possibilities. Only 12 mins. to Carroll High School, 28 mins. to the Coliseum, only 31 mins. to downtown Fort Wayne. If you like to explore small towns, Churubusco is 13 mins. , Auburn 26 mins. , Kendallville 27 mins. Chain O’ Lakes State Park 35 mins. , Pokagon Stage Park 50 mins. , the lakes around Rome City about 40 mins. or around Angola about 50 mins. Come out and walk the land; bring a camera. .. you may see deer, fox or a few song birds adding their tune to the “quiet” country sounds. No appointment necessary unless you want to walk the land w/ the seller/architect. If the ground is rain-soaked take care about how far onto the parcel you drive, please do not block the driveway to the house at the end. Plan on a soil test to determine type of septic system or well depth; electricity available to parcel.
