13326 Hardisty Road

One of the most picturesque properties in all of Northeast Indiana, Cedar Bend offers beautiful views, a private and secluded setting, and the added appeal of being tucked away at the end of Hardisty Road. A truly rare setting where peace, privacy, and natural beauty come together. Connected to Leo-Cedarville Regional Sewer, this distinctive property is set on 3.5 private acres along the wooded Cedar Creek escarpment, surrounded by ravines, mature woods, and natural landscape. Across the creek, Metea County Park extends the feeling of privacy and permanence, making the setting feel far larger and more secluded than its acreage suggests. In the postwar era, Cedar Creek attracted a small group of Fort Wayne conservationists who created architecturally distinctive homes nestled within its ravines, bluffs, and wooded landscape. Cedar Bend is one of those special homes. Built in 1961, this all-brick Mid-Century Modern residence embraces its surroundings with a low horizontal profile and natural masonry style. The home also holds a unique place in Fort Wayne's cultural history as the former residence and studio of artist Grace Leslie Dickerson, who began teaching art from her home studio in 1962. Offering approximately 1,700 square feet, Cedar Bend features connected sewer to Leo-Cedarville Regional Sewer, new geothermal HVAC, and a paved road, all while preserving the feeling of a private retreat immersed in nature. More than a home on acreage, Cedar Bend represents a rare sense of place—shaped by Cedar Creek, the escarpment, the surrounding landscape, and wonderful neighbors with more than six decades of history.
