About the host

Hosted by Melissa Courter

We moved our family to Indiana in 2021 after spending 30 years in Northern New Jersey. In my former NJ life, I was a professional flutist and ran a costume cookie business. Now I am a Kindergarten teacher at my son's school and your host.

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood because it is allows us to experience the natural beauty of Southern Indiana yet it is just minutes from all of the conveniences of the city.

What makes this property unique

The long and winding road under the canopy of trees brings you one mile up the hill to a spectacular view of the valley below. The house has many unique features that the former owners put into it from their travels to Europe. It has many large gathering spaces that make hosting family events easy.
