About this House

For Sale — Home & Barn | Rochester, Indiana Mini Farm | Horses Welcome | Fulton County Situated on 4 scenic acres just southeast of Rochester, near the Miami County line, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and rural charm — ideal for anyone dreaming of a mini farm or a place to keep horses. Originally built in 1977, the home was extensively renovated between 2021 and 2024, giving it the character of a classic farmhouse with the conveniences of today. Inside, the spacious living room features a cozy gas fireplace — perfect for gathering on cool evenings — with a gas hookup already in place for a heater insert. The kitchen has been updated with newer appliances and countertops and offers a great view of the expansive backyard, making it easy to keep an eye on the property while you cook. Upstairs, you'll find three large bedrooms and two full baths, including a spacious master suite with its own private bath. Downstairs on the main floor is also a room currently used as a office, that could be a bedroom. Every bedroom offers ample closet space. The laundry room is also on the main floor with a wash sink right next to the washer/dryer hook up, as well as a half bath. The basement is clean and well kept, providing additional storage, and the home includes an attached 2-car garage. For horse owners or hobby farmers, the standout feature is the brand-new 40' x 50' x 14' barn — plenty of room for horses, equipment, or whatever your mini farm needs call for. Doors are 8x10 and 8x8. There is fencing to let the horses out. As well as a seperate fenced in area for chickens. The property is surrounded by mature trees, with a few acres of denser forest behind the home that's alive with wildlife — deer, turkey, and squirrel are regular visitors. Tucked away on a quiet road, it offers a secluded, peaceful setting without feeling out of reach. Utilities include NIPSCO natural gas, a private well and septic system, Rochester Telephone fiber internet available in area, and REMC 200-amp electric service — so you get the quiet of the country without sacrificing modern connectivity. And the location can't be beat for outdoor lovers: the bike trail is just down the road, and both Lake Manitou and Nyona Lake are only minutes away. If you've been searching for a move-in-ready home with acreage, a new barn, and room to roam, this Fulton County mini farm is worth a look.

    "I have lived here several years, there is an over abundance of deer, so you WILL hit one with your vehicle, they are changing highway 31 to a "limited access" highway so you will have to drive several miles out of your way to go home, there aren't any fine dining restaurants, the school system is poor, the crime rate is ridiculous, (meth especially) and if your not a politician or in public service, well count yourself out you will get nothing to go in your favor.
