186 ACRES, 3,400 FEET OF LAKEFRONT ON 182-ACRE WALTERS LAKE: With deep woods, open areas, and multiple secluded building sites along the lake, this exceptional property lies in the heart of Indiana's scenic 101 Lakes region in Steuben County. This extraordinary 186-acre parcel offers a rare blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunity, and legacy potential. Featuring over 3,400 feet of private lakefront on 182-acre Walters Lake, plus more than 2,400 feet of natural wetland shoreline with no public access, this fishing and wildlife haven is a true sanctuary for hunters, naturalists, and conservationists alike. The property includes 115 acres of productive tillable ground currently in crops, 50 acres of woodlands, and 17 acres of prime wildlife habitat, making it a deer and duck hunting paradise. A secluded, off-grid hunting lodge is tucked away in the woods, surrounded by elevated terrain ideal for multiple private building sites, and even includes a private boat launch. The property also features a caretaker's 3-bedroom homestead, a barn and a 40x64 pole barn with a $15,000 seller concession offered for remodeling. Adding to its unique appeal, the owner reports a level area once used as a private landing strip, perfect for aviation enthusiasts or future development. With 2,800 feet of road frontage on Van Guilder Road with frontage on both sides of the road, the property is just one mile from restaurants, two miles from the I-69/I-80/90 interchange, and three miles from the charming town of Fremont. This hidden gem offers unmatched privacy with convenient access. Opportunities to own a parcel of this size, with over 3,400 feet of lakefront, an additional 2,400 feet of natural wetland shoreline, woodlands, farmland, and more, are exceedingly rare. Possible terms considered for well-qualified buyers.
