About the host
Hosted by Jamie Jarausch
I am from a small town in Indiana. I left for the Military when I was 17 and never looked back. I have traveled the world and raised two amazing boys! My beautiful girlfriend has two great daughters that I consider my own and we love to travel, see shows, and eat delicious food.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is in a small, little, and safe community that reminded me of my home town. ALL the neighbors are super awesome and friendly. The previous owner is a great friend I have known for years; this was where he was born and raised. It is a property that has everything yet close to it all too.

5 acres with a stocked 1.6acre pond. Offering outdoor activities for all ages and families. It's like a resort once you enter, you never really have to leave.
