Custom 5,000 Sq Ft Country Lodge | 3.21 Acres | Creek, Fruit Trees & Pasture |No HOA | Duneland Schools Come home, relax, and enjoy every day. Designed by an architect and designer and brought to life by a custom builder, this country lodge is a one-of-a-kind retreat on 3.21 acres in Chesterton. Every detail of its 5,000 sq ft of smart-home living was meticulously chosen, with 3-4 bedrooms and 3 baths. A welcoming wrap-around porch and solid hickory front door set the tone. Inside, oversized kiln-dried logs, timber frame beams, and soaring ceilings create a warm, dramatic lodge feel, anchored by curated wood floors and a massive stone wood-burning fireplace made for cold-weather evenings. From morning coffee to sunset dinners, the 3-season porch is where you'll live. A second wood-burning fireplace, a BBQ grill with exhaust, make it the perfect spot to unwind or entertain, surrounded by mature trees and wildlife. Outside, true country living awaits. A 2-sided 16x18 equipment/ wood shed and a 16x18 Hay /equipment shed makes life a lot easier to store all you need. A meandering creek winds through the property, fruit trees add seasonal bounty, and a fenced pasture gives you room for animals, hobby farming, or wide-open space to roam. The walkout level has its own separate entrance, opening the door to related living for extended family or guests. An attached 24x26 flex space works as a workshop or an additional garage. There is no HOA, and all utilities are run underground for an uncluttered view of the landscape. Zoned for Duneland Schools. Enjoy country living without the isolation. You're about 7 minutes from downtown Chesterton's shops, restaurants, and seasonal European Market, and close to the beaches and trails of Indiana Dunes National Park, major highways, and the South Shore Railway. Downtown Chicago and Notre Dame are each about 60 minutes away. Schedule your private tour today!
