About this property
Ohio has proven itself as one of the premier whitetail states in the country, offering the habitat, genetics, and terrain serious hunters look for. Opportunities to secure large, contiguous tracts like this in southeastern Ohio are becoming increasingly rare, especially in locations surrounded by proven big buck country. I've put my boots all over this ground, and I challenge you to find a property of this size that is this accessible. With road frontage on multiple sides, this is a beautifully crafted farm with an impressive combination of fields, timber, water, terrain, and access. A blue-line stream coming off the large caverns on the western side of the property flows naturally back into Venisonham Camp Branch Creek, which runs north to south. Water is spread throughout the property and becomes another major piece of the habitat. The best part may be how this property hunts. It almost feels like having two separate farms, with the ability to pull and hunt deer from different directions. For a serious whitetail hunter, having multiple access points and the ability to hunt different wind directions is a major advantage. This property offers it all, including plenty of opportunities to set up camp, build a hunting lodge, establish a homestead, or even become a full-time farmer. When searching for hunting properties, we often look for land near large blocks of tillable acreage because we know those opportunities are scarce. Here, you don't simply benefit from nearby open ground; YOU ARE THE HUB. With corn planted as this year's seasonal crop. This provides an opportunity for income whether you grow it or lease it. With approximately 208 contiguous acres, this property has the scale, layout, habitat diversity, and access required to consistently grow, hold, and hunt mature bucks year after year. Located just outside of Wayne National Forest and near the Crown City Wildlife Area. The main entrance comes directly off a blacktop road just off a state route, remaining within sight of the route while still providing a private and controlled access point. The property features approximately 1,900 feet of road frontage. Utilities, including water and electric, are available at the road, with septic subject to soil testing and applicable approvals.Unlike many southeastern Ohio properties that leave you wondering where you could build, this farm offers multiple potential home, cabin, or lodge sites. The land lays out exceptionally well for both hunting and management. Corn fields are currently in place and could be converted or managed differently if desired. The trail system has been freshly reopened and is accessible throughout the farm. These trails support efficient property management, stand access, and equipment use.The timber across the property is a major asset and has not been select cut in an estimated 15+ years, providing excellent structure, mast production, habitat, and long term value. One of the most distinctive aspects of this farm is the presence of natural caves and caverns. These features add a tremendous amount of character and uniqueness to the property. As you move deeper into the hollows, you encounter some of the most memorable and visually impressive terrain this region has to offer as the water drips off the staggering cavern.And then there's the barn. This isn't just an old structure it's a statement piece. With solid concrete floors and a creatively designed hay loft, the barn carries both nostalgia and functional potential. It offers restoration and creative-use opportunities that go far beyond simple equipment or hay storage.This property is set up for serious whitetail and turkey hunting. Terrain, security cover, food sources, water, timber, and access all come together to create a farm that can be hunted effectively without placing excessive pressure on the entire property. The question isn't whether big bucks live here. The question is whether you're ready to hunt them.

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.
