What the owner loves about this home
You can’t beat the view—5 uninterrupted miles of the Ohio River, including Diamond Island. It’s hands-down the best sunset spot in Southern Indiana.
The home is full of one-of-a-kind historic details—like the original freezer door from Pollock’s Bar, where many West Siders had their first beer, and trim and railing salvaged from the Reitz Home, complete with cast iron leaf supports.
The attic is huge with custom shelves for storage, and the concrete steps down to the dock make river access easy.
But what makes this place truly special is the community—Rothville is a hidden gem, where neighbors feel like family, and homes are often passed down for generations.
It’s a place for river adventures, fishing, hunting, relaxing, and building memories.
