Looking for a place with the comforting sounds of a busy, "green" home? Want to reduce your carbon travel footprint? This spacious, sunlit, upscale "Lux Loft Plus" apartment with private entry and EV charger adjoins a solar powered, geothermal house near IU. The bedroom--separated from the main house by a partition--features a king bed, music studio, kitchenette, library, and luxury ensuite bath. Living room has a high-end futon and workspace. Upstairs fitness room has pingpong and air hockey.
This apartment is in a custom home situated on a beautiful 1.65 acre urban farmstead and is separated from the main house by sliding opaque glass wall panels. The partition locks on both sides for the security of both the guests and owners but is not noise-reducing. The upper loft/recreation room has a privacy curtain but is open to the main house. ** Guests should expect sounds from the house, farm, and its many residents including a family of six, gardeners, beekeepers, chickens, 2 hypo-allergenic dogs, and 1 outdoor cat. Likewise, the owners expect to hear sounds from guests practicing the piano or enjoying a fun game of ping pong. Quiet hours are 10pm-7am. A white noise machine and ear plugs are provided for your comfort and convenience. In addition, the living room is equipped with a high-end futon and blackout curtains and can be closed off from the main apartment to minimize noise. Still, if you prefer a quieter stay, the host will be happy to accommodate you at another In Bloom Rentals property.
The owners greatly value earth-friendly products and practices. From the VOC-free paint, to the luxurious wool carpet, to the bamboo toilet tissue, their commitment to people and planet is abundantly evident. They are intentional about sustainable and organic farming methods, and their produce is shared throughout the community. They were supplying fresh produce to local farm-to-table restaurants and are actively seeking new partners to do so again.
Coming soon: Garden tours! **100% of proceeds from bookings and tours benefit the farm's non-profit gardening education program** Ask your host about adding seasonal U-pick veggies and berries option.
The owners are also adventurers and love to stay active! There is a bike station on the property with a pump and more. Feel free to bring your bikes! Brown County has some great "mountain" biking trails, and Wapehani trail on Bloomington's near west side is a short drive away. Plus, there is a small basketball court and pickleball court (requires prior consent from owners).a
