From the outside, this looks like a classic, dignified old farmhouse. Step inside, however, and you’re greeted by an interior that feels part hunting lodge, part Pizza Hut salad bar, and entirely unforgettable. Built in 1868, this brick beauty sits on 20 acres in Lakeville, Indiana, and proudly features paneling in no fewer than seven competing wood tones. There’s also a cast iron stove that looks like it’s silently judging your life choices. I’m not saying the house is haunted—but if a man named Earl appears and offers you a Coors, just roll with it.
The home offers five bedrooms, one bathroom, and 2,976 square feet of living space. Beyond the humor and personality, there’s real substance here. This timeless all-brick farmhouse delivers the charm, character, and setting that are increasingly hard to find. In addition to the five bedrooms, multiple extra rooms could easily serve as additional bedrooms, offices, or creative studios.
The den/family room showcases a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, while the kitchen features its own brick fireplace and a convenient butler’s pantry. A welcoming front entry and tall, elegant windows throughout the home flood the interior with natural light, highlighting its historic appeal.
Outside, the property is truly special. Set on 20 acres of rolling hills and protected by a wildlife deed restriction, it offers exceptional privacy and a peaceful, scenic backdrop. Three well-maintained outbuildings provide ample space for animals, storage, or hobbies. Much of the land is currently farmed, generating approximately $1,700 per year in crop rent. End your days with breathtaking sunsets over the pond to the west.
With its incredible setting, undeniable character, and endless potential, this classic brick farmhouse is ready for its next chapter—for $499,900.
