The Barns at Nappanee sells at auction
NAPPANEE — The former Amish Acres property, later known as The Barns at Nappanee, has been sold. An auction for the property, which includes 10 buildings across 54,000 square feet of space on the west edge of Nappanee, ended at 6 p.m. Wednesday, with the winning bid being $2,547,300. The auction firm of Kraft Auction Service, Valparaiso, was the coordinator of the auction, and the news of the sale broke late Wednesday night. According to Jonathan Kraft, the auction conclusion came down to a 'bidding war that saw 43 bids placed on the property.' 'More details about the new owner will be released by the new owner shortly, and what the future looks like for the property,' Kraft said. 'But I can say the buyer is going to re-open the property and build on the successful history of the property.' The historical aspect of the property can be attributed to the longtime legacy of Amish Acres, the original enterprise, which was founded in 1968 by the Richard Pletcher family. Upon Pletcher's retirement, the complex was purchased at auction in 2020 by Indiana 3rd District Congressman Marlin Stutzman and his wife, Christy. They renamed the business The Barns at Nappanee and launched a steakhouse in the former restaurant building until earlier this year, following Stutzman's election to Congress. The property has been primarily vacant since Stutzman's departure, until interest was renewed in the popular tourist destination with the announcement of the auction several weeks ago.

Tuggle spent the 2024 season with the Bulldogs. He played in eight games and recorded three receptions for 34 yards (11.3 yards per catch). Georgia head coach Kirby Smart announced in March that Tuggle, along with offensive lineman Marques Easley, were suspended indefinitely due to separate reckless driving incidents. According to police reports, Tuggle was driving more than 100 miles per hour. Tuggle will have three years of eligibility remaining to play for head coach Barry Odom and the Boilermakers. He will still have the option to redshirt if needed as well. According to Pro Football Focus, Tuggle played 45 offensive snaps and recorded an overall grade of 56.8. He also played 17 snaps on special teams. Advertisement Tuggle flirted with the idea of entering the transfer portal during the winter window this past December as well, but ultimately decided to stay with Georgia at the time. As a prospect out of Northwood High School in Nappanee, Indiana, Tuggle was considered a four-star wide receiver and ranked as the No. 92 overall recruit in the 2024 class. He also ranked as the No. 3 player in the state of Indiana and the No. 21 wide receiver in the cycle.
