7623 S Co Rd 400 W , Reelsville, IN 46171(Putnam County)

An opportunity to own a gorgeous home on what could be your own sportsman’s paradise! From entering the gated driveway you cross Deer Creek into this unique property. In fact, Deer Creek literally surrounds most of this land like a moat. Hidden from the road but yet within easy access sits this beautiful 3500 sq ft home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, covered porch, deck, 3 car garage and screened in rear patio. The home is in immaculate shape and has even recently had 35,000.00 worth of updates and improvements including a new roof, new water softener, and a new 8' sliding glass door on the south end, new plumbing and electrical for safe updating, and crawl-space improvements. The lower level features a huge vaulted great room with all the windows on the south wall creating beautiful natural lighting, large bookshelves and the centerpiece soapstone oven, a massive unit for baking pizzas, etc and also providing tremendous additional heating in the colder months. Just off the great room is a spacious open kitchen with a center island bar area for convenience along with stainless appliances, natural-colored hardwood cabinetry with crown molding and wine rack. Hidden thoughtfully under the stairway is a roomy pantry for all the canned goods and bulky items. Step out onto the screened porch directly off the kitchen/great room for enjoying morning coffee and views to the surrounding woods. Towards the garage, the master bedroom is a huge room with two big walk-in closets, one for him and one for her, and a master bath that will please the most discerning with its tile floors, garden tub, and large glass and tiled shower. Further down the hall is a conveniently located bathroom, a roomy, well-lit study or den, and then the laundry room. Just before you go out to the garage there is a spacious mud room for changing before entering the house. Above the big 3-car garage is a stairway accessed bonus storage room with lots of space. Upstairs in the home is an immediate sitting area at the top of the stairs with a built-in bookcase and large second and third bedrooms with an additional bathroom right across the hall from both. Outside the home is a Trex*-decking covered front porch and large south-side deck for sunbathing and enjoying the open country air. Conveniently located just north of the garage is a brand new 24’ x 32’ pole barn with concrete floor and electric with 2 overhead doors with plenty of space to store your land maintenance equipment, atv’s and hunting gear. The seller says that the equipment including the tractor, implements and the side-by-side utv among other items can be purchased separately if the buyer is interested. This property was an operational limestone quarry in the 1950’s making it a very unusual property now some 65 years later.  There is a great trail system throughout, and the main quarry area is a flat, sand and gravel bottom with a beautiful, clear lake in the center. It is teeming with game fish, notably some very impressive largemouth Bass.  There is a brand new $8,500.00 pavilion built near the lake, and the clean, open area is very inviting for family cookouts, camping, and swimming. The wooded areas surrounding the quarry areas are steeper ridges with many of the side-hills having been mined for stone. This has created some steep walls and subsequently, the deer movement on several of the ridges is confined to the flat and narrow tops and very specific gradual ridge ends. There have been some incredible bucks seen and taken on the property. There is also a super turkey population, and among the hardwood, ridges are some open “glade” areas of grasses and younger age cedar trees ideal for nesting cover. There are several of these flats that are mowed off and are just begging to be planted into food plots! If there were plots in these hidden pockets providing year-round nutrition, it would be scary what could be achieved. To the east of the large pond and hidden behind the next ridgeline is a smaller pond with clear water and rock bottom. A great location for wildlife to water, with some really thick wet-soils plants growing in the fringe providing great security cover. There is an impressive amount of timber in the marketable size ranges of multiple desirable species including white and red oaks, walnut, cherry, poplar, and hickory. Once inside this property, you truly feel very remote and private, and actually many parts make you feel like you are out west because of the scenery and landform that has been created. A really awesome property with the potential to be a long-term, big buck producing hunting mecca. Please call to arrange your private showing today. Shown by appointment only.
