Description

The history of this property is storied and filled with intrigue. It is said that the original owner was the father-in-law of the State Farm founder, GJ Meherle which is just a stones throw away from the GJ Meherle farm so his daughter stayed close by. He was a prominent doctor in Bloomington and spared no expense in building this magnificent homestead out in the country in 1930. It was a time of opulence and decadence and this property showcases those qualities to a tee even today! There's even...The history of this property is storied and filled with intrigue. It is said that the original owner was the father-in-law of the State Farm founder, GJ Meherle which is just a stones throw away from the GJ Meherle farm so his daughter stayed close by. He was a prominent doctor in Bloomington and spared no expense in building this magnificent homestead out in the country in 1930. It was a time of opulence and decadence and this property showcases those qualities to a tee even today! There's even the original light fixtures from the first State Farm corporate HQ framing the entryway to the amazing open-aired porch that is an outdoor living room unto itself. How great the past stories are but the current owners have one of the best as it is truly a beautiful love story... One of two soul mates who loved to create and be creative. They transformed this house into a farmette, where they raised their alpacas, herb gardens, gardens, plants, flowers and most importantly their family and hosted friends...the fruits of their labor will reverberate into future generations for many years to come. A company was born out of their toil called "Five Miles East", representing the fact that they are exactly five miles east of Bloomington on Route 9. They used the wool from their precious alpacas to make all sorts of wonderful items such as hats, scarves, gloves, jewelry and more! Now it is your turn to make this magical place a grand adventure of your own! This 4 bedroom home with bonus fifth bedroom in the walk up attic features 2 full baths, 2 half baths, a sprawling living room with marble fireplace, french doors that lead into the dining room, swivel door to kitchen with huge island for wonderful food prep options and back porch that is perfect for sitting and enjoying the backyard views. There is also a full basement that was used as the studio for weaving, looming, canning and such as well as geothermal (2019) and central air for a wonderfully comfortable, energy-efficient experience. Updates include roof (2022), all windows scraped and freshly painted (2024). Five acres of plush gardens, three car detached, oversized garage and a barn for your animals with an amazing pasture! Come see all this extraordinary property has to offer!
