Indiana farmhouse for sale! A spring-fed stream flows through the pastures year-round, providing a reliable and convenient water source for livestock. While the property is located near a railroad spur, the line is minimally used—servicing a nearby facility only a few times each week without the use of train horns—resulting in a surprisingly peaceful and quiet setting.
