5484 N State Rd #135, Salem, IN 47167

(Tract 2) Made for a large or growing family, this property possesses the traits that bring the outdoors close to home. Set off the state road, accessed by a record-short easement; this spectacular farm is set to please. The home is quality crafted with classic white metal siding, black trim, and a roof. Nestled on the edge of the woods with a pond and hillside view from the front porch swing makes time stand still. The main floor shows the beauty of the hardwood floors with a massive open living space. The home has 7 bedrooms and lays out well, boasting 4450 sq ft. It is built on a slab but does have a step-down cool food storage area off the large pantry. Multiple sources of heat keep it comfortable with no problem. A large outdoor ice house can keep items cold all year. The property has 3-yard hydrants connected to county water, but the home operates off a cistern; the county water could be easily connected to the home if one so wishes. The house has no electricity, but it is on the property out front and could also be utilized—multiple outbuildings and barns for equipment and farming operations. The large barn was moved to the property and has old-world construction, strong as an ox. Its bottom or downstairs has stalls and houses pigs, cows, and horses, while above is a more than generous area to store hay all winter. Shop and storage space is plentiful through out all buildings. A nice garden area on the side of the lawn and a grapevine trellis for fresh vegetables and fruit makes growing for self-sufficiency while living off the land. In fenced-in paddocks for farms, animals make up a portion of the land while the forest balances out the rest. A honey hole hunting spot lies behind the house. Don't be fooled. This property has produced some very nice bucks in the area as well.
