Lovin' The Homestead
My mom and her brother and sister have my late Grandpa's farm on the market in western Indiana. It's 60+ total acres available in 2 plots. The 50+ acre plot has a homesite on it. The house needs a lot of work for rehab, or you could live in it while you build your dream home. The other plot is ~14 acres. I grew up there and have fond memories of horses, cows, goats, sheep, and chickens, hunting, etc.. Almost all livestock was fenced via electric fence.
What's not in the ad - realtors don't know anything.
There are a bunch of wild raspberries on the property, as well as a grove of Pawpaw trees. Additionally, we find several pounds of morel mushrooms there almost every year. There are several deer trails and I used to hunt rabbit there as a kid. Not sure how much rabbit there is now because at the time, we also kept the coyote, fox, and raccoon population at a minimum by trapping. It hasn't been trapped in over 20 years to my knowledge.
There is also a lot of tillable acreage on the properties, but I don't know how much. There have been financial agreements between neighboring farmers to use the land, but I don't know anything about them.
There are several outbuildings not shown. They are also in need of repairs, but they were being used as recently as a year or two ago.
The 14 acre plot had a nice little farm pond at one time but over time it ran dry. Could probably be revived by silt removal and rebuilding the land dam. It also has a knockdown house on it too far gone to repair but it has some nice architectural features that could be salvaged.
If you inquire about it, let it be known that it was the youngest daughter's son that brought the buyer in. Might earn me a referral bonus.
