About this property
Rustic, rural, relaxing, family friendly stay! Excellent location 5 min to I74.
Built in 2013, Water's Edge is a secluded, warm, & rustic 2nd story home situated above a horse barn turned epic HIGH BARR Real Estate office with perhaps the best view in the county! Enjoy the sunrise over the pond from the 12'x30' deck, or the animals grazing to the south. The Farm Stay is entertainment central boasting of a large open living room/full kitchen with a wood pellet stove for your enjoyment on those cold winter nights! Not to mention catch&release fishing, corn hole, tetherball, volleyball, building a bonfire, or grilling out! Ask about our homegrown ground beef!
The space
All of the recreational amenities are visible from the house and furnished deck. You may find the sporting equipment and chairs for the fire pit conveniently located in the storage room on the main level just past the steps leading to the apartment. Firewood is stacked near the burn pit for your convenience.
The living area, and each bedroom are individually climate controlled for your comfort.
Guest access
Waters Edge Racing Stables boast of the 2 Bedroom home above the former stables. Incredible views in all directions including the 1.5 acre stocked pond. Two flights of steps lead you to the entry door with a lit key pad for your convenience. Please park on the dedicated gravel drive directly in front of the steps leading to the apartment. Do not park on or block the driveway leading to the back of the barn or behind the barn.
Guest Interaction
My personal residence is located on the same 20 acre property so it is very likely you may see me, but if not, I will always be available by phone or text.

About the host
Hosted by Alicia Barr
Alicia has been a lifelong Hoosier and Fairland native. She grew up on a small farm only 1/2 mile from Waters Edge, with fond memories of walking to the neighbors to fish in the very pond you will watch the sun rise over. Alicia purchased the property in 2009, moved into the residential home and built Waters Edge Racing Stable in 2013.
Alicia works fulltime as a residential redeveloper and raises beef cattle on the side. Alicia loves her work both on and off the farm, enjoys the peace and serenity found at Waters Edge, family time, bonfires, trying new restaurants, live music, and traveling. Her greatest joys are found in serving and giving.

Why they chose this property
Are you looking for an experience? A relaxing and serene environment away from the daily grind? Waters edge is for you!
Situated on the west end of the 20 acre property, it is encompassed by corn fields, hay fields, animal paddocks, and a beautiful 1.5 acre stocked pond for your enjoyment of catch and release fishing! With no shortage of activities, you can catch a game of tetherball, volleyball, cornhole or relax by the campfire and listen to nature sing. Prefer the indoors? This warm, welcoming, rustic home includes a wood pellet stove for your pleasure and where I come from on a cold winter night, this is the definition of R&R!

What makes this property unique
I love the views from Waters Edge, especially watching the sunrise over the pond! I also love to sit out on the deck or down by the campfire and listen to nature sing. Although you are only 5 minutes from the I74 ramp and can even catch a glimpse of the interstate, this setting will make you feel like you have found your home away from home. From the distressed hickory floors, to the real wood trim and doors, and all the rustic decor, sweet dreams are inevitable!
