PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Historic Schoolhouse Meets Equestrian Living – Just Minutes from Hoosier Horse Park If you've been searching for a horse property with character, history, and room to enjoy the equestrian lifestyle, this one is unlike anything else on the market. Originally known as Pendelton School No. 6, this beautifully converted historic schoolhouse sits on 1.71 acres in Franklin, Indiana, just minutes from the Hoosier Horse Park, one of the Midwest's premier equestrian facilities. The park spans more than 200 acres and features show arenas, cross-country courses, and hosts regional and national horse events throughout the year. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths while preserving the incredible craftsmanship of its past. Original hardwood floors, stunning woodwork, crown moulding, soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and over one-foot-thick brick walls create an atmosphere that's impossible to duplicate. Recent updates include a 2-year-old roof, updated plumbing and electrical, and outstanding insulation. The former schoolroom has been transformed into an impressive great room where a gas fireplace—featuring a hand-hewn timber mantle crafted from wood found on the property—can comfortably heat the home during the winter months. Horse owners will appreciate that the property is already equipped for equine use. The detached garage/pole barn includes parking for two vehicles, two horse stalls, a tack room, and a studio efficiency apartment above with its own separate electrical meter. Whether used for guests, a trainer, short-term rental, or additional income, the apartment adds tremendous flexibility. Outside, the fenced pasture is ready for your horses with split-rail fencing and an installed electric security fence (currently turned off). A charming chicken coop completes the mini-farm setting, making this property equally appealing for hobby farming or a self-sufficient lifestyle. Location is another standout feature. Situated just up the road from the Johnson County Fairgrounds and the renowned Hoosier Horse Park, you'll enjoy quick access to horse shows, clinics, competitions, and community equestrian events while still being only minutes from shopping, restaurants, schools, and the conveniences of Franklin. Adding to its appeal, most of the furniture and décor can remain with the home, allowing the next owner to move in with ease or continue the property's potential as a memorable vacation rental or Airbnb. With its fascinating history, horse facilities, guest apartment, and unbeatable location for equestrians, this is far more than a home—it's an opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind property where history, horses, and country living come together.
