The incredible landscape is comprised of over 26 acres of private grounds, including a winding brook, beautiful pond, and formal gardens. 2 meadows and a private forest offer a sanctuary for wildlife. When the Noyes' originally designed the estate, they requested one specimen of every kind of tree that would grow in this environment be planted. There have been many changes to the property over the years, but the original design has been maintained and enhanced. The wishing well in the center of the formal garden was donated to the Indianapolis Museum of Art years ago. Walking paths thru the forest have been added, as well as a path on the berm by the pump house overlooking the river. The current owner also added a pool and tennis/pickleball court for family enjoyment. This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of significant scale and historical character. See documents for some additional history!
