A Barn, a Granary, and a Workshop on 2 Rural Acres
$340,000
In Kewanna, in Fulton County — 2 acres of Indiana farmstead land, already built out with a barn, a granary, and a workshop.
The outbuildings are the story here: a 96-by-32.5-foot barn, a 40-by-25-foot granary, and a 40-by-24-foot workshop, ready for livestock, equipment, or small-scale farming without building a thing. Inside, the custom-built 1948 home has already been through a real update — heat pump, new windows, new roof, water softener, new water heater, full insulation, and a new fireplace stove insert — alongside original hardwood floors, plastered walls, and built-in cabinetry. 3 bd / 2 ba, 2,350 sq ft, built 1948, on 2 acres.
Listed at $340,000. For sale by owner — see the Zillow listing for contact details.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
The home is serviced by well and septic, standard for this stretch of rural Fulton County. Get both tested directly with the sellers as part of due diligence — standard practice on any FSBO sale where there's no listing agent coordinating inspections on your behalf. Since the recent renovation included a new water heater and softener, it's a reasonable bet the well and softener setup were at least inspected as part of that work, but confirm rather than assume. A softener already in place is itself a useful signal about the local water's natural hardness.
Crop & Income Potential
Fulton County sits in the heart of Indiana's Corn Belt, with the fertile glacial-till loam typical of northern Indiana running under these 2 acres. It's soil that's supported serious row-crop agriculture across this region for well over a century, so it will support a homestead garden or small pasture without a fight. At this scale, 2 acres is squarely mini-farm territory rather than a commercial operation, but the listing itself frames it exactly that way: animals, hobby agriculture, or a real kitchen garden. The outbuildings already sized for more than a backyard project make that framing more than marketing language.
Sustainability
The recent full-home update — heat pump, new windows, new roof, and full insulation — represents real, already-completed efficiency work rather than a to-do list for the next owner. That kind of comprehensive envelope work is exactly what keeps heating and cooling costs down in a Midwest climate with real winters. Three separate outbuildings also mean flexible use without new construction: granary for feed or dry storage, workshop for equipment and projects, barn for livestock or hay. Each does its own job instead of one building trying to do everything, which is a more efficient use of space than a single oversized structure.
The Boundaries
As a FSBO sale, there's no listing agent managing disclosures, so lean more heavily than usual on your own inspector and attorney. Confirm the exact acreage and lot lines with a survey, since the listing doesn't specify a formal lot size beyond the general '2 acres.' Also worth confirming with Fulton County what each outbuilding is permitted for, especially if livestock or a home business is part of the plan. An attached one-car garage plus three separate outbuildings is a lot of structures to have clarity on before closing.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Kewanna is a small town in Fulton County, Indiana, served by the Winamac Community School District. Winamac itself, the Pulaski County seat just west, anchors the immediate area with small-town Main Street character. This is quiet, rural northern Indiana, the kind of setting the current owners describe simply as 'safe and quiet in the country.' It's the sort of place where neighbors still know each other, a real contrast to the anonymity of a subdivision.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
Purdue University's Fulton County Extension office is the regional resource for anyone taking on hobby farming or livestock here. It's backed by one of the country's most established land-grant agricultural programs, with decades of northern Indiana-specific research behind its guidance. Feed stores, large-animal vets, and equipment dealers run deep throughout this stretch of the Corn Belt, serving both commercial operations and the smaller mini-farms scattered among them. That density of support is one real advantage of buying into established farm country rather than a more remote, less-served area.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Tippecanoe River State Park, a short drive away near Winamac, offers canoeing and kayaking on the Tippecanoe River itself. Camping and hiking trails through the surrounding woods round out the park's offerings for a full day outdoors. For a rural property this close to a real state park, it's genuine four-season recreation without a long drive to reach it. Several smaller lakes in Fulton and Pulaski counties add fishing options for anyone who'd rather stay closer to home.
