Remarks and Miscellaneous

Public Remarks: Country Living with Income Potential in Lowell, Indiana. Nestled on 10 sprawling acres, this 1,320 sq. ft. all-brick 3 bedroom, 1 bath, ranch is the perfect canvas for your rural dreams. Offering the sturdy bones of a classic brick build and the rare advantage of established agricultural land, this property is as much an investment as it is a home. Property Highlights: • Income-Generating Land: Approximately 8 acres are currently leased to a local farmer on a handshake agreement, yielding roughly 1,500 per year in passive income. • Original Character: Step inside to find gorgeous hardwood floors spanning the dining room, living room, hallway, and all three bedrooms. • Classic Layout: A functional 3-bedroom design that maximizes the square footage while offering scenic views. • Solid Exterior: The all-brick construction provides a durable, low-maintenance exterior. • Covered front porch: The perfect spot to sit back and relax. While the interior reflects a more traditional, dated aesthetic, it presents an incredible opportunity for equity building. With the hardwood floors already in place, a fresh coat of paint and modern fixtures would instantly transform this space. It is the ideal "fixer-upper" for someone who wants to customize their interior finishes without the worry of major structural overhauls. With 10 acres at your disposal, the possibilities are endless. Continue the current farming arrangement, or utilize the space for horses, a massive garden, or outbuildings.
