27+/- Acres | Home, Hunting & Fishing Retreat | Prime Location Near South Bend & Lakeville Rare opportunity to own 27+/- acres offering the perfect blend of comfortable country living, recreation, and convenience in a highly desirable location. This well-rounded property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with approximately 1,680 sq. ft., built in 2004, thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of peaceful views overlooking two private farm ponds. The home provides a quiet, rural lifestyle with scenic water views right out the back door. The ponds not only enhance the setting but also offer excellent private fishing opportunities and attract abundant wildlife throughout the year. Outdoor recreation is a standout feature of this property. With a diverse mix of open ground, wooded areas, and water sources, the land supports strong populations of white-tailed deer and wild turkey, making it an excellent hunting property. Whether you are an avid hunter or simply enjoy observing wildlife, the habitat here is well-established and highly productive. A major asset to the property is the impressive 50' x 80' x 12' pole barn, offering approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of versatile space. Ideal for equipment storage, workshop use, recreational vehicles, or hobby farming, this structure adds significant functionality and value to the property. The home is situated well off SR 931, accessed via a gated entrance from a newly established private road, providing exceptional privacy and a true sense of seclusion. Despite its quiet setting, the property offers outstanding convenience to nearby communities and major corridors. Location is a key advantage. The property is located approximately 4.5 miles south of the South Bend / Ireland Road corridor, providing quick access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and employment centers. In the opposite direction, it is just 2.5 miles north of the heart of Lakeville, offering convenient access to local amenities while maintaining a peaceful rural setting. This rare combination of privacy, recreation, and accessibility makes the property ideal as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or recreational getaway. With its ponds, wildlife habitat, spacious pole barn, and strategic location between South Bend and Lakeville, opportunities like this are increasingly hard to find. A unique offering that truly delivers the best of country living with close-in convenience.
