A truly rare offering, this extraordinary 5-acre property feels like your own private paradise--peaceful, secluded, and unlike anything else on the market. At the heart of the property is a stunning private stocked pond surrounded by mature landscaping, winding trails, gardens, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. Tucked into the hillside, the uniquely designed steel-beam home was built with energy efficiency in mind and offers an open-concept interior filled with natural light. The dramatic kitchen features soaring two-story ceilings, custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, new dishwasher, trash compactor, and additional appliances. Spacious living and sunroom areas overlook the beautiful surroundings, while a private sauna and steam shower add to the retreat-like experience. The huge main-floor primary bedroom is a retreat of its own, featuring vaulted ceilings and skylights that fill the space with natural light. A distinctive spiral staircase leads to the second bedroom, a versatile space that could also serve beautifully as a private office or loft. Outside is where this property becomes truly special. Wander the trails, stroll around the pond, or enjoy flower gardens, berries, rhubarb, strawberries, and raised garden beds. The grounds also feature a greenhouse, multiple storage/work sheds, two gazebos, two wells, a 3-car garage, and abundant additional parking. Whether you're seeking a peaceful everyday escape, space for memorable gatherings, or potential Airbnb opportunities, the possibilities are exceptional. A 12' x 8' mini pontoon boat is even included for enjoying your private pond. Properties offering this combination of acreage, privacy, water, recreation, and one-of-a-kind character are incredibly hard to find. Enjoy the feeling of being worlds away while still close to shopping and restaurants, all with low Porter County taxes. More than a home, this is a lifestyle, a retreat, and your own private piece of paradise.
