Land for Sale in Somerset, Ohio

Here's your chance to own a long-time family-owned 40-acre property located 1.5 miles south of US22, 11 miles from Lancaster, and just inside the beautiful rolling farm country of western Perry County. The privacy and seclusion that this land offers is no surprise when you're surrounded by large-acreage active farms, and then add in the fact that Twp. Rd 141 is a maintained dead-end road. You will be hard-pressed to find another property of this size to rival what this one has to offer. Between the way the boundary lines are laid out and the user-friendly topography, the property feels larger than 40 acres. The seller will be providing a new survey at closing. On the north end is the perfect building site for a new home or cabin with 2-3 acres of flat ground, with one acre of that being open and currently planted in corn. This site provides easy future driveway access with an electric service pole already installed at the road. There are 3 more separate crop fields totaling approximately 11 acres planted in sorghum and are currently being harvested. For the avid hunters, this honey hole is a bow hunter's dream in an area that consistently produces trophy-class whitetails. There are multiple draws leading into the property from the SW, funneling deer to the endless buffet in the ag fields. Access is perfect from the NW corner, allowing you to work the prevailing winds in your favor. From the recent sightings and the deer sign found all over this place, it's clear there is no shortage of wildlife calling this farm home. There was a very light selective harvest of timber earlier this year, and I do mean light. It is one of the best timber management jobs I have seen, with many mature mast-producing hardwoods left to prosper, all while creating even better habitat to hold deer when the crops come down. - No deed restrictions. - 200' road frontage. - CAUV tax status providing substantial savings. - Established electric service on the property. - On-site septic and water well would be required. - Cincinnati silt loam soil is favorable to conventional septic systems. - Good Verizon cell service. - New survey will be provided by the seller at closing. - Contingent on final survey approval. - Located in Reading Township. - Northern Local School District. - Sellers' interest in mineral rights is included in the sale. - No known oil or gas leases. - GPS: 39.768496, -82.332163 - Real estate taxes are TBD. - Parcel Number: TBD - Agents must be present on all showings.
