    Historic 5-Acre Property with Exceptional Outbuildings Some properties are simply homes. Others are opportunities. 1616 W. Shoaff Rd. is both. Situated on 5.05 acres in highly desirable Northwest Allen County, this unique property combines an 1847 farmhouse—one of the oldest known homes in Allen County—with an extraordinary collection of large, functional outbuildings. Whether you’re looking to restore a piece of local history, build a new home, operate a small business, store equipment, pursue a serious hobby, or simply have room to spread out, this property offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find. The approximately 2,133-square-foot farmhouse features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a loft, laundry room, eat-in kitchen, living room, and hearth room. A previous renovation was started but remains unfinished, giving the next owner an opportunity to complete this historic home according to their own vision. Finished, it could become a charming and cozy single-family residence with character that simply cannot be replicated in new construction. The acreage also offers potential locations for a new, larger home, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. The property includes an impressive collection of additional buildings: 24’ x 52’ Detached 3+ Car Garage — Two-car garage door, additional single-car door, and large bonus room. Excellent for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or additional workspace. 1900 Heritage Barn — 36’ x 56’ x 18’ Tall — A remarkable piece of local history with tremendous character and versatility. Ideal for storage, agricultural use, hobbies, events, or simply preserving this beautiful historic structure. 40’ x 42’ Heated Workshop — 14’ Tall — Approximately 1,680 square feet of serious workspace featuring a fully insulated shell, heat, dedicated 200-amp electrical service, and a substantial 6-inch, 4,000-PSI concrete slab. Ideal for a mechanic, contractor, tradesperson, collector, fabricator, hobbyist, or small business. 40’ x 40’ Storage Barn — 12’ Tall — Approximately 1,600 square feet of covered, electric storage for vehicles, trailers, landscaping or agricultural equipment, construction materials, business inventory, and more. 38’ x 34’ Cinderblock Workshop — Durable additional workspace with windows for natural light, electrical service, and a high-amperage welding outlet. Excellent for fabrication, mechanical work, welding, woodworking, equipment maintenance, or other projects. The combination of acreage and substantial existing structures creates almost limitless possibilities. This could be an exceptional property for a homeowner who wants a historic residence and serious workshop space, a car enthusiast or collector, craftsman, contractor, landscaper, farmer, equipment owner, or entrepreneur seeking space for a small business, subject to zoning and permitted-use requirements. The property currently has well and septic. Public water and sewer are available from Shoaff Road and/or through access easements to the neighboring subdivision. Natural gas service is available through NIPSCO, and electric service is provided by NREMC. Located within the highly regarded Northwest Allen County School District, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to own acreage with an historic home and this much functional building space in a desirable northwest Allen County location. Two Purchase Options $599,000 — AS-IS: Purchase the property in its current condition and complete the farmhouse renovation according to your own plans and budget. $649,000 — Renovation Completed: Purchase the property with the farmhouse renovation completed by the seller. Historic character. Five acres. Serious workshop space. Multiple buildings. Northwest Allen County. Endless possibilities. Buyer to independently verify square footage, dimensions, zoning, permitted uses, utility availability, access, development possibilities, and other information with the appropriate authorities and providers.
