Southern Brown County at its finest! A long winding driveway meanders through Hoosier National Forest opening up to this beautiful, spacious, and rustic charmer. The front door enters into the great room with wide-plank pine floors and stone fireplace. A separate living room with access to a large, screened porch and wraparound deck offer spaces for gatherings. 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths provide room for everyone to have their own private retreats. Rooms are easily adaptable for multiple uses with a murphy bed in one, and direct access to a deck from two of them. The home could easily be 5-6 bedrooms. The lower-level walkout suite has a soaking tub with a large window looking out into the forest. There's an abundance of storage throughout the home. This home has been thoughtfully updated with high-quality materials, professional installations, and long-term warranties-creating a home that is exceptionally low-maintenance and built for lasting comfort. Some of the recent upscale improvements include a standing-seam metal roof by Amish Roofers (2022) with a lifetime warranty, RhinoSheild Lifetime exterior paint in October 2025 with 20 year workmanship transferable warranty. Renewal by Anderson replacement windows in September of 2025 with 20 year warranty. There's an outdoor hot water shower just off the wraparound deck on the backside of the detached 2-C garage and a concrete patio with pergola. This property is close to historic Story, IN, Browning Mountain, Brown County State Park and so much more for outdoor enthusiasts. This property meets the distance requirements for tourist rental use subject to zoning approval.
