This single-level, fully handicap-accessible home invites you to leave the noise behind and reconnect with nature. Whether you're stargazing by the firepit, paddling down the river, or savoring a quiet moment under the trees, you’ll feel a sense of peace the moment you arrive.

Indoor Living Space
Spend your evenings enjoying a movie in the main living room or escape to the den for a quiet read or your own show. A wood-burning fireplace sits between the two spaces, perfect for cozy nights. The dining area comfortably seats six, ideal for meals or board games. The thoughtfully designed kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a touch-sensor faucet, motion-sensor lighting, and all the cookware you need for baking or cooking.
Outdoor Adventure and Relaxation
Surrounded by towering trees and nestled along a trail that leads to your private access point on the Little Calumet River, this home truly offers a nature-filled escape. A custom kayak launch invites you to set out and explore the water. After a day of hiking, paddling, or visiting the nearby Indiana Dunes National and State Parks, return to roast marshmallows by the firepit. Enjoy the open yard for lawn games or sit quietly and listen to the birdsong as deer pass through at dusk. Bring your fishing poles and make use of the private boardwalk trail that leads to the river. A fish-cleaning station is conveniently located near the back door.
