Village South is redefining what it means to live near Ball State University-and Lot 8 offers the opportunity to become one of the neighborhood's founding homeowners. Now under construction, this Alderwood courtyard villa blends timeless architecture, thoughtful design, and low-maintenance living in an exceptional location just moments from Ball State University, IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, The Village, Minnetrista, and downtown Muncie. The home offers 1,851 square feet of finished villa living space, plus an additional 343 square feet of finished space above the detached two-car garage, for a total of approximately 2194 square feet of finished space. At the heart of the design is a private courtyard positioned between the home and garage-creating a wonderful outdoor extension of the living space for entertaining, grilling, relaxing, or gathering with friends. Inside, the main level is designed for today's lifestyle, with an open-concept kitchen, breakfast area, and living room that flow naturally together. Two bedrooms and the laundry are conveniently located on the main floor. Upstairs, an exceptionally spacious flex area provides tremendous versatility and could easily accommodate an additional bedroom, family room, home office, guest retreat, or combination of uses-making the home equally appealing for overnight guests, extended family, or roommates. Buyers purchasing during construction may also have the opportunity to select certain interior finishes, depending upon the stage of construction. For the first 3 founding buyers, ask me about possible builder incentives. The current estimated completion date is November 15, 2026. The HOA fee is anticipated to be $250 per month and includes common-area lawn care and snow removal. Substantial landscaping is to follow. Final HOA documentation is expected to be completed within approximately 30 days. Photos include architectural renderings illustrating the completed vision of the home, a Richmond location villa that is nearly identical to this unit, along with construction-progress photography as available. Additional photos will be added as construction advances. A personal "dusty boots" tour of the property is available upon request. The Richmond Villa model is available via the virtual tour link. Taxes are estimated. This is more than an opportunity to purchase a new home-it is an opportunity to be a first owner participating in an exciting new chapter next to Ball State University.
