Cave For Sale: Heiser Mystery Well

Howard Brown the owner of Heiser Mystery Well is selling his house and 33 acres which included the entrance to Heiser Mystery Well. 

The house is about 10 years old log house and is located in Harrison Country, Indiana, about 5 miles north of Depauw. The house is 3,600 square feet and has a basement. It is a 4 bedroom house with 3-1/2 baths. 

When I was surveying the cave I saw the house being built and it is a great house. It is Howard's retirement home. The cave is one of the best multi-drop caves in Indiana. It has the deepest drop (depending upon how people measures this drop and Gory Hole) at 137 feet.

It also has a 120' drop and a 103' drop plus numerous short drops. About a mile of cave passage has been mapped. The property is on a top of a large sandstone ridge. 

He is asking $420,000 for the house and 33 acres, which is about the going price form land that is within commuting distance of Louisville, KY. 

Howard's e-mail address is HOHOBrown@yahoo.com . It would be a great place for a caver or caver friendly person to own.
