7210 E Pine Grove Rd Bloomington, IN 47401

This exceptional property offers a beautifully renovated antique log cabin overlooking a serene pond on a private 3-acre wooded retreat. Ideal as a year-round residence, a vacation home, or the very successful Airbnb that it currently is. The cabin was originally constructed in the 1800s, was moved from Spencer in 1986, and is now perched high on a V-shaped ridge between 2 ravines, overlooking a lovely pond. The cabin features a rustic, vaulted tongue and groove oak ceiling, exposed beams, a wood-burning stove w/a Brown County stone hearth, an eat-in kitchen, and a Culligan reverse-osmosis water filtration system. The large windows and skylight bring in natural light and offer stunning nature views. The wrap-around deck provides space to relax and watch birds and animals around the pond. Lake Monroe and Pine Grove Boat Ramp are just at the end of the lane, perfect for water activities. Sandy beaches, jet ski rentals, and picnic spots are available at the nearby Paynetown State Recreation area, and hiking trails with picturesque views of the lake can be found at the Sycamore Land Trust AWBP preserve. There is also a nearby convenience/bait store and several restaurants. The property includes a detached, insulated 1-car garage with roof pulleys for 2 kayaks, a circular drive, extra parking space for boats and vehicles, and an architecturally pleasing bridge leading to a fire-pit area. The property can sleep up to 8 people with 2 queen beds, a sleeper sofa, and a twin daybed w/a trundle. This idyllic country setting is only a 15-minute drive to IU, shopping, and the new hospital. You'll also find a convenience store, bait, and fuel at the nearby Fishin' Shed. If you're not in the mood to cook, you can take your pick from several nearby restaurants, including Scenic View Restaurant, Trailhead Pizzeria, and The Cabin Restaurant & Lounge. For hiking and nature enthusiasts, the Sycamore Land Trust's lovely Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Preserve offers picturesque views of beautiful Lake Monroe from its public trails and beaches.
