If you thought Indiana had nothing more going for it than miles of corn and soybean fields, maybe it’s time to take another look. Some of the top tier colleges in the United States including Notre Dame, Indiana University, Purdue and Butler University are there, and it has produced celebrity, musician and film greats such as David Letterman, James Dean, John Mellencamp and Steve McQueen. Indianapolis is the 12th largest city in the United States, home of the NFL Colts, NBA Pacers and the Indy 500, and headquarters of an impressive list of important companies such as Eli Lilly, Wellpoint and Simon Property Group. The state’s most popular song, which is usually always heard at sports events after the Star Spangled Banner, is a resounding rendition of Back Home Again in Indiana.

When it comes to finding the right neighborhood for the Indy CEOs and their families, many look to the wealthy suburb of Carmel, just north of the city. In 2012, CNN Money Magazine listed it as the best place to live in the United States.

Almost the size of some of Simon’s shopping centers, the main house is 41,517 square feet with 7 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, caterer’s kitchen, spacious and lushly decorated formal rooms, theatre, billiards room, professional-style gym with three televisions and an indoor pool.
