Strawn Rd, 118 Acres

Ranch Description

119 acres for sale in Hocking County, Ohio. This beautiful and tranquil property in the heart of the Hocking Hills features a log cabin originally constructed in the 1820S. The cabin was moved in 1971 from the road to its current site on the hillside. Dragging the logs carved out the present-day driveway. John Spofforth, a local sculptor and brickmason, created the new chimney. The cabin was expanded to include a dining porch and kitchen, and later a primary bedroom. The barn and corn crib were also moved and rebuilt to provide a workshop and guest accommodations. Then came electricity, a deep well, indoor plumbing, and a septic system. As the cabin became more livable, 50 years of growth and thousands of new plantings added to the splendor of the trees and wildlife. The deep spring-fed pond invites excellent swimming and fishing. This property provides an ideal place for quiet contemplation, reading, and hiking, as well as a venue for annual family get-togethers. It is an unparalleled opportunity for an experience of closeness to nature and the warmth of interaction with family and friends. Located just under 6 miles from Old Mans Cave, and not far from all the Hocking Hills amenities. This property features big mature woods loaded with white oak, red oak, and poplar. 78.9 acres of the property are protected by a Conservation Easement that ensures that the property will stay in its natural state, the way God intended, offering future generations the chance to experience an ecosystem that has nearly vanished from the region. Making this property not just a piece of land, but a living legacy. Current annual taxes are approx. $6715.00, and any mineral interest owned by the seller will transfer.
