Longview House and Gardens, 5455 W 1425 S, Hanna, IN

On the market for the first time since 1869, Longview has been in the same family for over 150 years. This stunning 7.56-acre property contains a 3,079 sq.ft. 2 bed/1.5 bath Main House and a 2,052 sq.ft. 3 bed/1.5 bath Guest House.

The 2 bed / 1.5 bath Main House, designed by Connor Historic Design, reflects the elegance of an 1840s Greek Revival farmhouse while incorporating modern comforts.

The living room centers on a classic Rumford fireplace, perfect for the snowy evenings while French doors open to a large-screened porch for summer enjoyment.

Like a vintage New England home, a barn-style wing is attached to the main residence which houses a 3-car garage, paneled with cedar shiplap reminiscent of a genuine dairy barn. Above the garage is a whitewashed cedar-paneled loft, currently serving as a writer's studio and guest suite.

The main house features custom woodwork, handcrafted cabinetry, and random-width plank floors with hand-forged nails and grass cloth wallpaper. The full-height basement offers expansion potential.

The Guest House was built by the current owner's family in 1895—using walnut timbers harvested from the forest. Fully upgraded in 2015, the renovation blended historic features such as the original nickel door hinges, with contemporary amenities including custom-milled woodwork, Missoni and sisal carpeting, Clarence House wall coverings, and a striking black-marble bathroom. The home features 2 bedrooms, a sleeping loft, and 1.5 baths.

The Grounds of Longview are designed for beauty in every direction. Lawns give way to wooded meadows with a variety of seasonal perennials, carefully curated conifers (Norwegian pines, white pines, hemlocks, spruces, firs, Green Giant Arborvitaes) and groves of hardwood trees, including oaks, hickories, walnuts, maples, ginkgoes. Wildlife abounds, such as deer, foxes, wild turkeys, and songbirds, enhancing the sense of living in harmony with nature. And the night skies are amazing with extraordinary stargazing.

Located 70 miles from Chicago and 20+ minutes from Valparaiso.
