About this property

**SELLERS WELCOME SERIOUS OFFERS AND OPEN TO REASONABLE NEGOTIATIONS** Escape to the peace and privacy of country living without sacrificing convenience! Situated on 17.17 acres just five minutes from town, this nearly 4,800-square-foot custom home offers space, character, and an exceptional blend of rural living and small-town convenience. With convenient access to I-57, Routes 45 and 1, and Indiana State Road 41, the property offers connectivity to surrounding communities while providing the room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. The home features 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, including a spacious main-level primary suite with a walk-in closet and beautifully remodeled ensuite bath (2026). Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, two large storage rooms, and an impressive 17' x 26' bonus room-perfect for a playroom, media room, home office, or guest space. Seven skylights fill the home with natural light, highlighting the premium hardwood floors, while the living room offers a cozy gas and electric fireplace. The kitchen features granite countertops, and the main floor also includes a laundry room, laundry chute, and one of the home's most unique details-a hidden closet tucked behind a bookcase. The fully finished walk-out basement provides two additional bedrooms, expansive living space, and a second kitchen area complete with an additional oven, sink, and refrigerator. This flexible layout is ideal for entertaining, extended-stay guests, or multi-generational living. Outside, enjoy your own private retreat with a newer deck (2023), backyard hot tub, and a spectacular 6-acre, well-stocked pond fed by five natural springs. The pond is home to largemouth bass, catfish, bluegill, and grass carp, offering a wonderful setting for fishing and enjoying the outdoors. With abundant wildlife, open space for gardening, and room for a hobby farm or chickens, the possibilities extend well beyond the home itself. Additional highlights include an insulated two-car garage, circular driveway, 126-foot well, furnace and A/C (2022), water heater (2024), attic insulation (2025), and remodeled primary bath (2026). Enjoy the best of small-town living in nearby Watseka, with local restaurants, coffee shops, boutique shopping, parks, a public swimming pool, splash pad, farmers market, and entertainment at the historic Watseka Theatre. Community events, including the annual Watseka Family Festival, bring residents together with live music, food vendors, children's activities, and more. It's an opportunity to enjoy the charm and community of a small town while gaining the acreage, privacy, and breathing room that can be difficult to find closer to the suburbs. If you've been looking for a distinctive rural property with substantial living space, a private fishing pond, flexible accommodations, modern updates, and room to enjoy the lifestyle you've been dreaming of, this one-of-a-kind Watseka property is ready to welcome you home!
