About this home
Originally built as a peaceful retreat by acclaimed Indiana author Scott Russell Sanders, this distinctive property has long been a haven for writers, artists, and musicians. Nestled on three wooded acres just six miles from Indiana University and Bloomington's east-side amenities, it offers an exceptional combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Studio adds 192sf of living space. New furnace too! The charming two-bedroom home features vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, solid oak doors and trim, and a cozy wood-burning stove. A natural stone pathway leads to a detached artist's studio with soaring ceilings, skylights, wood-paneled interior, and inviting outdoor space—perfect for art, music, writing, or simply relaxing. Adjoining Sycamore Land Trust's Dan Willard Woods preserve, the property offers abundant wildlife, beautiful seasonal scenery, and a peaceful woodland setting. A newer three-bedroom-capacity septic system provides potential for future expansion. Previously operated as a vacation rental, the property also offers potential for short-term rental use, subject to applicable regulations. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, creative sanctuary, or weekend getaway, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of nature just minutes from Bloomington....
