Are you looking for the ultimate Deer hunting Property, hobby farm, and perfect building site? Well, look no further! This flat to gently rolling farm has everything that a buck needs to grow to his full potential. Thanks to a local farmer who is taking advantage of the rich soil to grow soybeans and corn (currently corn this year), deer have an additional awesome food source. The farm offers many drainages which offer cool bedding in the summer, and protection from harsh Ohio winds in the winter. These thick drainages give the deer the security and ability to travel in between bedding and feeding areas. Deer on this farm bed very close to their food sources and this alone is a feather in this farm's hat!  This farm sets up well for the experienced hunter as there are many ways to approach your setups with different winds. The access is awesome here as the farm has a few perfectly situated lanes, and the sides of the fields are flat allowing easy travel by ATV or foot. This property offers plenty of browse, berries, briars, and native grasses for deer to feed on.  There are a few mature oaks to the south by the power line, producing acorns, making for great tree stand setups. Young oaks are growing on the steep sides of the power lines. I found some awesome rubs scattered throughout the farm and to the south. The drainages and open wooded areas are full of scrapes from last year.  A few secluded clearings offer great locations for food plots. There is a big watering hole nestled in between two agricultural fields in one of the drainages - it doesn't get any better than that, as it's surrounded by thick cover too! A creek to the south had some water flowing, which may potentially offer water for most of the year. The farm is surrounded by other large properties, which is hard to find these days. According to the seller, he and the neighbor both practice QDMA. The owner of this farm has only harvested approximately seven or eight deer since 2009. The deer on this property and surrounding property are very comfortable, as it is gated and surrounded by other large private tracts of agricultural and wooded land. This area of Washington County gives up some trophy class deer every year. I feel this farm has many advantages over other farms out there as it has lots of edges, lanes, pinch points, funnels, gentle topography,  food and bedding. The wooded acres offer benches and lots of cover. I made three trips here when scouting, and I can tell you, the deer are plentiful here. Do you like turkey hunting? This farm is polluted with turkeys and I saw some every time I came here. There were turkeys 20 yards from the house when I arrived one morning. With the different little alleys and lanes on the property, turkey hunters will be very happy, and will have great setups and should have opportunities at a big ole longbeard.  Are you looking for a place to hunt where you can stay on-site? This is it - there is an older home and is being sold as-is.  It was built in the early 1900s and needs some work, but is strong and ready for DIY. It will need some roof work, plumbing, electric and drywall. There is some cool woodwork in the house, and with some TLC, could be the perfect hunting cabin. According to the seller, the septic is newer, it has a propane heater and a commode to utilize. Imagine returning from a cold day in the woods, sitting by the wood burner and dreaming of the mornings and days to come. This property offers a lot and all it needs is you and your family to embrace and enjoy it. City water is at the street. Solid ground parking is available too and a gorgeous lane leads you from the road to the home.  From the front porch, you can see fields and woods. When soybeans are present, you will have a show when the velvet bucks begin to show themselves. Look at the aerials of this farm - it has everything that a hunter, hobby farmer or outdoor enthusiast could want.
