View Date:2024-12-23 22:46:32
INDIANAPOLIS — It isn't every day you find a $47.9 million property for sale on Zillow in one of the most unique towns in the state, just a road trip from Indianapolis.
The Big Tree Farm Estate in Santa Claus is still on the market, and it is every bit as magical as the town and price tag would suggest.
"Tucked away in the rolling green hills of Southwest Indiana, Big Tree Farm offers an escape to the country with world-class luxury," the estate says on its website.
Sitting on nearly 600 acres, the estate was built over three decades by owner Ed Ewing and inspired in part by the popular presidential vacation spot of Kennebunkport, Maine, which is frequented by the Bush family.
"I have seen this property created over my lifetime," listing agent Kara Hinshaw said in a release.
"It's special to me, the town, and the millions of visitors that visit this town each year," Hinshaw said. "Edward B. Ewing has created a beautiful masterpiece for everyone to enjoy as they enter our magical town. It is one of the most unique properties you will ever visit. It's amazing, world-class, and one of a kind."
