Rare is the opportunity to find either a beach cottage or a secluded cabin in the woods. Rarer still is the chance to find both in one soulful, storied place. And yet here it is -- Built in 1927 and soon to mark its centennial, this beloved Indiana Dunes home has been cherished by the same family for over 80 years. In the 1960s, they added the warm embrace of wood walls and ceilings that hug the heart of the house today -- back when that was the only part of the house. By the 1970s, the youngest of them took on the task of hauling sand from the basement, one wheelbarrow at a time, to carve out a private retreat that became his bedroom hideaway.This home holds stories -- not just of one family, but of a place. The Indiana Dunes have long drawn artists, writers, and wanderers, charming them with beauty and a sense of timelessness. Porter Beach carries on that legacy -- a real-life echo of Lake Wobegon, "where time forgot and decades cannot improve," and where nature and nostalgia meet in the dune grass beneath the sunlit sky and glorious Dune Moon, all surrounded by the Indiana Dunes National Park.Whether you're drawn by the sound of the waves, the whisper of the trees, or the deep-rooted charm of a bygone era, this is more than a property -- it's a rare and remarkable chance to be part of something enduring. You'll need to bring your toolbox and ideas, it's being sold AS IS.
