Description

Welcome to the historic property of Chief Richardville, a stately brick home nestled on 8 acres of picturesque land. This stunning residence is not only a beautiful house but also a piece of Native American history, having been built for Chief Richardville by the US Government as a token of gratitude. Enjoy lovely gardens surrounding the home perfect for leisurely strolls along the winding pathways. The estate boasts a variety of amenities. A spring house offers an active fresh water spring that flows through the spring house ending at a frog pond nestled within the landscape, while the large 3-car detached garage features a well-equipped woodworking shop for the craftsman at heart. For those with an equestrian passion, the horse barn features 5 stalls and a fenced pasture, providing ample space for horses or animals of all kinds. Steeped in history, another large barn stands as a reminder of the land's past, near the ‘Osage Rock’ where Tecumseh himself held tribal meetings. The property spans 8 wooded acres, making it an excellent space for exploration and adventure. Inside the home, you will find a comfortable and functional layout. The main floor hosts three unique living areas, perfect for relaxation and entertaining guests. Adjacent to these living spaces, a delightful dining room and a fully equipped kitchen featuring Tiger Maple countertops await, and the main floor full bath adds to the convenience. When venturing to the second floor, you cannot miss the stunning solid wood curved railing. There you will discover four generously sized bedrooms, with the primary bedroom featuring an en-suite bath. Another full bath provides a luxurious and private amenity for your guests, and a convenient laundry room simplifies daily chores. Located in a peaceful rural setting, this property offers a serene retreat while still being close to town. The merging of the Wabash and Mississinewa Rivers nearby adds to the natural beauty making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. In summary, this brick historical home on 8 acres is not just a place to live, but a chance to own a piece of rich Native American heritage. Embrace the blend of history and modern comforts, all while enjoying the tranquility of a rural oasis close to town. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a slice of history and create your own cherished memories for generations to come.

    "The streets here are very friendly and good for walking dogs at any time of the day, or night. However, there are a LOT of stray cats, so if your dog is a cat chaser you may need to keep him/her on a tight leash. And keep them up to date with vaccinations. "
