This exceptional 272-acre hunting property has been meticulously developed and managed over the past 24 years with one objective in mind-producing older age class trophy whitetails. Every improvement has been carefully planned and strategically implemented to maximize habitat, nutrition, and hunting opportunities, creating a truly turnkey property for the serious deer hunter. Approximately 13 acres of established food plots are strategically positioned throughout the farm, highlighted by an impressive 6-acre destination plot located in the south-central portion of the property. This primary feeding area serves as the centerpiece of the farm's habitat plan, drawing deer from across the property while allowing them to stage naturally before entering the plot. Multiple stand locations, combined with the property's established bedding areas and travel corridors, create outstanding opportunities to hunt mature bucks under a variety of wind conditions. The habitat improvements extend well beyond the food plots. Native warm-season grass plantings and CRP tree plantings are scattered throughout the farm, providing exceptional bedding cover, security, and travel corridors. A 7-acre mature pine planting sits on the highest elevation of the property, creating valuable thermal cover during the late season. Encircling the pines is a well-established clover planting that provides an additional food source, while an adjoining 3.5-acre north-facing clear-cut has been intentionally created to provide ideal bedding habitat for mature bucks. Complementing these improvements is a diverse stand of mature hardwood timber that covers much of the property, offering abundant mast production, natural browse, and excellent habitat diversity. The combination of mature timber, dense bedding cover, strategically located food sources, and carefully planned habitat enhancements creates a farm that consistently holds and produces mature whitetails. Adding to its uniqueness, the property is bordered on three sides by Ohio Brush Creek, creating a natural boundary that enhances privacy and wildlife security. Deep and wide enough for kayaking, the creek also provides outstanding opportunities for waterfowl hunting, fishing, and year-round recreation. This rare combination of premier deer habitat and exceptional creek frontage makes the property as enjoyable outside of deer season as it is during it. Whether you're looking for a premier hunting property, a long-term recreational investment, or a legacy farm to enjoy for generations, this southern Ohio property represents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously managed farm where every acre has been developed with a purpose. Currently enrolled in CSP and CRP programs providing annual payments totaling $9,900. Programs can be terminated or re-enrolled by the next owner. Also enrolled in CAUV which provides reduced property taxes.
