Historic Ferdinand Home Blends Charm With Modern Comforts

Historic Bed & Breakfast in Southern Indiana Hits the Market

A beautiful piece of Southern Indiana history is now looking for its next owner.

The historic William Boeckman Home in Ferdinand has officially been listed for sale, offering a rare chance to own one of the town’s most recognizable historic homes. The stately Victorian property—formerly known as the beloved Harvest Moon Bed & Breakfast—combines historic charm with modern comfort.

Located at 210 Main Street, the home sits just about a mile north of Interstate 64 and has long been a landmark in the Dubois County community.

A Step Back in Time

Built around 1900, the home showcases the kind of craftsmanship that’s hard to find today. From the moment you arrive, the grand wrap-around porch sets the tone, offering the perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee or watch the sunset in the quiet town of Ferdinand.

Inside, the home features beautifully preserved details from the Victorian era—natural woodwork, gleaming hardwood floors, classic transom windows, and elegant pocket doors that highlight the home’s historic character.

One of the standout features is an original fireplace with an intricate tile surround, while the kitchen includes a historic potbelly stove that adds even more nostalgic charm.

Space for Guests or Family

The home offers more than 4,000 square feet of living space and includes four spacious bedroom suites each with its own private bathroom. One of those suites is conveniently located on the main floor, along with a laundry room and an additional half bath.

The large kitchen serves as a central gathering space with hand-painted cabinetry, a custom island with seating, and plenty of room for entertaining.

The property also includes a full unfinished basement for additional storage.

A Home With Possibilities

Because of its layout and history, the property has previously operated as a successful bed-and-breakfast and short-term rental destination. With plenty of parking and a welcoming design for guests, the home could easily continue as a hospitality business or simply become a stunning private residence.

The historic property is currently listed for $439,000.

For anyone who loves historic homes or dreams of running a charming bed-and-breakfast, this Southern Indiana property offers a chance to own a truly special piece of local history.
