For buyers seeking a farm that offers both agricultural value and exceptional recreational potential, Brown County has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of southern Ohio's most desirable locations to pursue Ohio's trophy class Whitetail Deer. The farm has a solid population of turkey and small game as well. The pond could serve as an early season waterfowl setup to catch an occasional flock of wood ducks.

There are multiple open overgrown fields scattered throughout the farm that would make ideal locations to create wildlife food plots. The West Fork of Ohio Brush Creek runs along the northern property line. The property features over 1100 feet of road frontage along US 62 on the west side of the farm, providing excellent access and future development possibilities.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
