THE LINDEN HOUSE
150+ ACRES | 7 BED | 10 FULL BATH | 7 HALF BATH Resting on the former grounds of the Benedictine Monastery of St. Maur, the estate feels almost holy, a true sanctuary.

Nowhere else in Indianapolis will you find an estate with such a commitment to design and aesthetics. Each section of the home is both stunning and functional based on its intended use. Everything about the design is intentional.
LUXURY AT FIRST SIGHT GRAND FOYER
Upon entry to the home’s foyer, or sala as Ms. DeHaan defined it, you’ll realize nothing in this home is ordinary. The massive room’s two-story arched ceilings welcome and impress every guest. With expansive views of the stone terrace, lake, and lush acreage beyond, the room feels symbiotic with the property while also elegant and refined. The room can easily host an intimate gathering or large event and was acoustically designed to provide the best sound quality for the many musicians who have entertained here.

SPRAWLING GROUNDS From the intimate edicules overlooking the grounds to specimen trees dotted throughout the landscape, each piece of the property was expertly engineered and maintained to provide the owner with maximum beauty from every angle. Near the primary residence you’ll find acres of manicured gardens. Each space creates a picturesque setting from the wisteria blooms adorning the elegant entry each spring, to the Italianate gardens flanking the private residence, and lush lawns guiding you to the pool and tennis courts. As the grounds expand, carefully selected specimen trees, native grasses, flowers, and stunning sculptural art detail the property. What was once woodland has been transformed into a beautiful oasis.
