**Escape to Brown County** Set on 2.64 private acres in Brown County, Indiana, this one-of-a-kind home offers 4,074 square feet of thoughtfully rebuilt living space, custom finishes, and a rare mix of privacy, nature, and everyday convenience. Completely rebuilt in 2021, the residence is well insulated, very well maintained, and finished with materials that feel both grounded and distinctive. Pennsylvania hardwood floors, tile, and vinyl are used throughout in a tasteful mix. Local hardwoods continue into the family room, foyer, ceilings, and other living areas, giving the interior a warm, cohesive character that suits the wooded setting. A metal roof, abundant storage, and a dedicated bonus room add lasting practicality. The kitchen is designed for both daily comfort and entertaining, with granite countertops and a wood stove that becomes a natural gathering point. Expansive glass looks out over the pond behind the home, so the living spaces, and views stay connected to the water, trees, and quiet landscape beyond. The huge primary suite is a retreat of its own: a large sitting room, a full primary bath, two walk-in closets, and a separate room for washer and dryer. Two additional bedrooms and 2.5 baths complete the layout, with storage throughout that is unusually generous for the area. Outside, the property is framed by trees and a beautiful natural setting. A privacy fence along S.R. 45 screens the road while preserving easy access. Yellowwood State Forest adjoins on the west, which helps protect the setting and will hinder future building to the south and west. The pond, woods, forest edge, and acreage create the peace and tranquility Brown County is known for-yet you are not isolated from the region. S.R. 45 and S.R. 135 are close at hand, with workable commutes to Indianapolis, Bloomington, Columbus, and Martinsville. Homes of this scale, quality, and protected setting do not come to market often in Brown County. This is a unique property.
