The 1993 house at 6510 Union Chapel Rd in Fort Wayne is heated and cooled by a geothermal system set behind six-inch super-insulated exterior walls, and the same owner held and updated it for more than 30 years.
It led five home sales reported across the Fort Wayne, Indiana metro area for the week ending September 27, 2026, a group that combined for $3.63 million. The five span Fort Wayne, Huntertown, Bluffton and New Haven, running from an 1866 farmhouse on US Highway 30 to a 2008 custom home in Huntertown, with a 36-acre farm marketed out of a Bluffton estate among them.
