Solsberry Hill Estate represents a unique opportunity to acquire a legacy property with exceptional seclusion and income-generating potential. Situated on an iconic ridge-top in Owen County, Indiana—with proximity to Greene and Monroe Counties—this estate, formerly known as the Solsberry Hill Retreat Center, combines natural beauty, privacy, and versatile amenities. Bordered by a Certified Forest and featuring natural drop-offs that prevent nearby development, it offers a serene environment ideal for personal use or commercial ventures. The property consists of a timber frame house (3,800 sqft with 5 beds, 3 baths, a sunroom, and wood burning fireplace), event center with built in kitchen, covered deck overlooking a stocked, spring fed pond, an amphitheater, and two cabins with bunk rooms, bathrooms, and a chapel. The structures are situated on 27.5 acres of woods and some pasture space. The possibilities are endless, whether you are searching for an event venue, camp retreat center, rental income, or a family homestead. Dimensions are estimates and should be verified by buyer. Taxes subject to change when parcels are split.
