These are the highest-priced home sales reported in Bloomington & Brown County Area, Indiana for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together the five sold for $7.05 million. Land shaped much of the week. The three top sales were rural properties in Paragon, Nineveh and Unionville, each set on dozens or hundreds of acres of woods, pasture and water.
Bloomington supplied the other two sales, which together came to $1,483,500: a brick ranch from the 1990s and a Craftsman built in 2022.
No. 1 — $3,000,000 · 7183 Ellis Lake Rd, Paragon, Indiana
The week’s top sale was 7183 Ellis Lake Road in Paragon, in Owen County, which sold for $3 million. The 100-acre property sits outside any subdivision and centers on a lake of 15 to 16 acres, surrounded by tillable farmland, a hay field and mature woods crossed by ATV trails. It also has its own 1,650-foot grass runway, and its airplane hangar includes a bunkhouse.
The main home, a traditional design finished in stone and cement siding, was built in 2022 and is tied for the newest in this Top 5. It has 4,004 square feet, three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath, with two of the bedrooms on the main level and an in-law floor plan. The great room rises to 18-foot ceilings, and a covered veranda looks out over the lake. There are two fireplaces, one of them outdoors, along with a wet bar, a kitchen island and a pantry.
A two-bedroom guest house built to match the main home gives visitors their own quarters, and a rustic cabin stands beside the lake. Barns for livestock and machinery, a pavilion and a skeet range complete the grounds.

At 210 acres, 0 Beech Tree Road in Nineveh is the largest property in this week’s group, and it sold for $1.75 million. The Brown County land is rolling hardwood forest, with maple, poplar, hickory and red and white oak, and several brooks cross it. A recent timber harvest opened a network of trails through the woods, and a food plot has been planted among the trees.
An internal road runs back to the home, a log cabin built in 1940 and the oldest home in this Top 5. Built of western cedar logs, it has oak floors and a large fireplace in the family room. The cabin has 1,400 square feet on one level, with two bedrooms and one bathroom, and it is served by water, electricity and septic. Down the hill stands a large older barn with electric service.
The property went under contract 12 days after it was listed. Brandon Smith of Whitetail Properties was the listing agent with Jay Minor, and Smith also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.
