Built in 1798 or 1808, this brick house on the Ohio River could be the oldest house in Indiana. Known as the Indian George Ash home, it was built by George Ash whose family ran a ferry from Lamb to Carrollton, KY for 150+ years. This riverfront property has never flooded and is not in any floodplain. The current owners keep a dock and boats on the water, fish, swim, and routinely canoe across the river to Carrollton for breakfast. In the winter, they enjoy the 3 wood-burning fireplaces. The house has a new gas furnace, central air, an electric water heater, and a washer/dryer. The septic system was installed in 2000 and was designed for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The property includes a small shed, carport, and wellhouse. 2 zero-turn mowers, a side-by-side ATV, the carport and 2 boats + ramp & dock can remain with the home. The house has a natural gas meter from Switzerland County Gas and is hooked to SEI REMC electric and Fiber internet. All appliances remain with the home. Note: GIS information and information on websites like Zillow is not all accurate because for 20 years there was a double-wide trailer on the property and the assessment reflected those details. The current owners planned to apply for the National Register of Historic Places and are confident the home would meet the criteria for that designation.
