Property Description

This report evaluates one of the most thoughtfully developed private estates in Morgan County, Indiana - a 231.70-acre multi-parcel legacy property assembled and improved over many years by the owners with a well designed plan. This is not a standard land transaction. Every structure, utility, road, fence line, and improvement on this property reflects deliberate, long-term vision. The result is a property that genuinely cannot be replicated - not because of hyperbole, but because the combination of 185+ acres of enrolled classified forest, bespoke residential infrastructure, world-class garage and equestrian facilities, buried utilities throughout, gated security, and a secondary residence on a single contiguous holding in this location simply does not come together in this form anywhere else in Morgan County. The property is anchored by a 4,704 SF custom residence with Amish-crafted interiors, two heated garages totaling 6,400 SF including RV accommodation, a heated saltwater pool, and outdoor living facilities - all supported by municipal water, fiber optic internet, 400-amp electrical service, and a 65,000KW Cummins generator. A 1,512 SF secondary residence on its own 3.80-acre parcel with fenced pastures adds significant utility and rental or multi-generational living potential. The equestrian and agricultural infrastructure - a 160'x72' multi-purpose barn with covered arena, five horse stalls, three two-stall stables, and seven freeze-proof automatic waterers - rivals dedicated equestrian facilities found on properties asking considerably more in other Indiana markets. The 185.17 acres of Classified Forest & Wildlands Program enrollment provides meaningful annual tax benefit and signals long-term stewardship intent - a feature that conservation-minded buyers, lifestyle estate buyers, and family compound buyers will specifically seek out and pay a premium for.
