Adding even more potential, the east side of the property includes an additional foundation complete with its own well and septic, previously home to a 1,350 sq ft manufactured residence--offering exciting possibilities for future expansion, guest quarters, or investment use. With low taxes and a convenient location just 20 minutes from Valparaiso, this property is ready for your personal touch. Bring your vision and transform this serene setting into your dream retreat.

Extremely well maintained home on nearly 3 acres in the highly desirable Kouts school district. Property has a huge pole barn that is plumbed and ready for its own bathroom if desired. There are a total of 3 wells, 2 septics, and an RV hookup. There is also a second foundation from a manufactured home that used to be at the back of the property. There are several large, mature trees that will provide plenty of shade when enjoying your own piece of rural paradise as well as multiple fruit trees that were planted in the last couple of years and will soon be producing plenty of fruit for summer time snacking, canning, and baking. Stay extra warm in the winter with the functional wood burning fireplace in the living area.
