The western portion of the lot offers additional hiking opportunities including a beautiful creek bed to explore. Need more room to stretch your legs? The Sycamore Land Trust owned Amy Weingartner Branigin Peninsula Trail is just south of you on Rush Ridge Rd, within easy walking distance! Shawnee Bluffs Estates is one of Monroe County's premiere neighborhoods and is located conveniently to Bloomington's east side, IU Campus, and IU Health Hospital. Todd's Marina is directly accessible from within the neighborhood, and Paynetown SRA & Cutright SRA are additional nearby options for those interested in obtaining a boat slip to go along with your lake house build! The property is ready for your build - water, electric, and high speed fiber optic internet are all available at the road. Note that covenants include building restrictions and minimum ground-level square footage requirements: single story 3000 sq ft, 1.5 story 2400 sq ft, 2 story 1800 sq ft.
