With 1,600+ feet of frontage on the Hocking River, this property offers a rare chance to own direct access to one of Southeast Ohio's most scenic and peaceful waterways. Spend your mornings fishing for catfish, smallmouth bass, sauger, and panfish, or set up a riverside campfire to enjoy evenings on the bank. You can launch a kayak or canoe from your own land, or just relax by the water with friends and family. This stretch of the river flows gently and is perfect for floating, paddling, or fishing. The fields along the river could be used for camping, farming, or even income-generating campsites. Part of this land lies in the floodplain (see map), but the rich soils and river access offer real value, whether you're looking for recreation or a wildlife draw. Currently, the neighbor has permission for a fishing site-a friendly agreement that can be continued or discontinued by the next owner. Hunting and Habitat The land offers a solid mix of habitat, from flat fields and bedding cover to elevated wooded ridge tops. Features include: A 6-acre field in the back - excellent for a food plot or future build site. Trails throughout the property-some recently improved. A spring has been developed into a wildlife watering pond. Additional areas have been cleared for food plots in the woods. Some hunting tree stands, deer feeders, and an elevated blind in the field will be conveyed. Timber is a nice mix of native hardwoods with no recent cutting, including several persimmon trees. This setup is ideal for chasing trophy whitetail deer and wild turkey, and it's clear this property has been thoughtfully laid out for recreation and success in the field.
