29.31 Acres Of Peace, Quiet, and Wildlife In Sweet Owen County
Ever consider preparing for retirement by acquiring your own beautiful, scenic, hunting retreat? Or maybe you'd love to own such a place to raise your family, or enjoy as a seasonal getaway place. Regardless of your desire, you need to see and visit this property. Situated in the heart of northern Owen County, within the Rattlesnake Road community, this 29.31 acre mixed use tract offers beautiful scenery, privacy, and tranquility, not to mention the best whitetail, turkey, and small game hunting habitat in southern Indiana. It's also worth mentioning that a 27.59 acre portion of this parcel is classified as Forest Reserve, which has a very positive impact on the real estate tax obligation. This farm is priced to sell quickly! The anchor point of the property is a 1647 sf 3 BR, 2 BA Bedford Stone house built in 1976. All appliances will remain. Although the master BR is serviced by a window A/C unit, there is a complete central air unit on-site that is currently inoperative, but fully wired and connected to the existing forced-air HVAC system. The unit requires the installation of a new A-Coil. The owner will consider repair of the unit as part of the overall negotiation of a sale, making the presence of central air a very feasible option. The most desirable living area of the home is a 15 x 20 living room, boasting a large wood-burning fireplace with an insert and blower, allowing heated air to be distributed throughout most of the home. The dwelling also contains an electric hot water heater acquired in November 2017 as well as a dual water filtration system. Having the ability to heat a home with wood as a backup heating source is very important, but there is even more security provided to the buyer to safeguard against the adverse effects of power outage. The home comes equipped with a 20 KW Generac generator powered by propane. This unit will not only supply power to the dwelling, but will also service the garage as well. It is equipped with an Auto-Transfer switch, effectively cutting off power coming into the house from the utility provider, which is SCI REMC. If this weren't enough, it is pleasing and reassuring to know that the property also offers a complete Hardy outdoor wood-burning system. Purchased in 2009 at an original cost of $10,000-, this unit is equipped to heat the home as well as the detached garage. The system is also capable of heating the water inside the home when utilized. Lastly, it is the property itself that will cultivate your love of this farm. This property serves as a home for every type of wildlife common to southern Indiana, and the existence of the Forest Reserve designation will ensure that the woodlands and hardwoods will remain healthy over the months and years to follow. The grounds around the home are simply beautiful. There are 7 different types of fruit trees on-site, begging the question: Who will love the fruit trees more? The buyers or the deer? The buyer will also grow to love a well-stocked fishing pond, a 24 x 24 detached garage (with an electric GDO), and a 30 x 40 pole barn providing ample area for storage. The property is being sold in "As-Is" condition. This property won't last long. Schedule your visit today!
