About This Home

SECLUDED. EXPANSIVE. REFINED. Have you ever imagined owning your own quarry? How about TWO? This remarkable property also features a home that has just undergone a complete renovation. Welcome to this extraordinary estate offering exceptional privacy on 14.25 acres near Lake Monroe, situated along the Lawrence/Monroe County line. A private circular drive winds through evergreens, leading you to a beautifully updated FOUR bedroom, THREE bathroom home tucked into a peaceful clearing. From the moment you arrive, the thoughtfully designed landscaping and inviting outdoor living spaces set the tone for relaxed country living. Inside, you’ll find a spacious living room filled with natural light from brand-new windows, complemented by hardwood flooring throughout for added warmth and character. The main level features two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a dining area with scenic views. The primary suite is positioned for privacy and includes its own en-suite bathroom. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, offering ample cabinet and countertop space along with access to an additional outdoor gathering area. The lower level expands the living space with a dining area that opens to the backyard and firepit, along with a versatile room ideal for a family or entertainment space, a full bathroom, and direct access to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, a cozy loft and an additional bedroom provide a quiet retreat. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, including a large deck, a concrete pad with two 50-amp outlets ready for a hot tub, and a picnic area perfect for entertaining or stargazing. A 28' x 47' detached outbuilding with concrete flooring offers additional space for storage, hobbies, or equipment. Adding to its truly unique appeal, the property features two stunning quarries stocked with fish, creating a private setting for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the natural beauty of Southern Indiana. Utilities are provided by the Utilities District of Western Indiana and N. Lawrence Water. This rare property combines privacy, natural beauty, and modern updates into one exceptional opportunity.
