16 Jefferson Valley is a lakehouse on a 365 acre private lake only 30 miles from Indianapolis for under $200,000! Nestled among mature trees, peace and quiet is interrupted only by the sounds of nature, and here sits the cutest cottage. Look around into the backyard and see the chairs gathered in a circle around the firepit. There is a gently sloping walkway that has a keen footbridge and leads to the waterfront where you’ll find a very large dock with built in boat lift, sun deck for sunning and fishing. The interior of this contemporary cottage looks like a showplace! The darling interior has vaulted ceilings accented by a wood burning brick fireplace and a loft. There is also a large deck out back surrounded by trees. Follow the gentle walkway which borders the nature preserve over the quaint foot bridge to a big lakefront view and your large newer dock & lift!  This lakehouse will take you away to a private refuge on the water!
