Property Description

A Hidden Gem, one of a kind Victorian Homestead with an Incredible Workshop Space/Living Space ready to provide you with a Business Opportunity from Home. Welcome to Pleasant Lake—country and charm meets business potential all just a short drive from Fort Wayne. Set on 5.17 scenic acres in a quiet and well-connected community surrounded by tranquil lakes, farmland, and woodlands, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful rural living and entrepreneurial opportunity. What truly sets this property apart is the massive 3,000 sq ft heated outbuilding, thoughtfully designed for serious hobbyists, small business owners, or auto enthusiasts. Featuring a dedicated car lift bay, office space, half bath, and abundant room for a paint shop, mechanical work, fabrication, or custom finishing, this versatile building is powered by an energy-efficient wood-burning boiler system and radiant heat.

The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, featuring hardwood cabinetry, a butcher block island, pass-through butler’s pantry, and built-in oven—designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday practicality. Thoughtful updates bring comfort and efficiency while preserving the home’s turn-of-the-century character. Additional outbuildings offer even more flexibility for storage, projects, or future expansion. The boiler system also heats the home and pool, making early spring swims possible and winters cozier. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the wraparound porch, enjoying quiet evenings by the fire pit, or bringing your next big idea to life in the workshop, this property delivers charm, space, and unmatched functionality—all in a truly special setting and priced to S E L L . . .
