36-Acre Highland County Farm w/Two Homes Near Rocky Fork Lake

Tucked into a peaceful, no-traffic corner of Highland County, Ohio, this 36.084± acre property offers a rare combination of comfortable country living, productive farm ground, and outstanding recreation — all just minutes from Rocky Fork Lake and roughly fifteen minutes east of Hillsboro. At the heart of the property is a two-story log home offering 1,632 square feet of living space and built for both comfort and efficiency. A standing seam metal roof and geothermal heating and cooling help keep operating costs in check, while a full, finished, dry 1,200-square-foot basement adds generous additional living space. The open-concept eat-in kitchen and dining area were completely remodeled in 2025 and showcase a ten-foot granite island, granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and appliances that remain with the home. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths are spread across the levels, and the quiet setting can be enjoyed from an 8x40 front porch or a partially finished, heated 10x40 back porch overlooking an 18x32 pool. A second residence — a one-bedroom, one-bath barndominium — adds tremendous flexibility. With its own septic system, a separate electric meter, a mini-split heating and cooling system, and custom Amish-built cabinetry, it is ideally suited to extended family, guests, or rental income. The land itself is just as versatile. Approximately twenty-seven acres are tillable, made up largely of productive Dubois and Haubstadt silt loams, and are leased for the 2026 crop year, with possession transferring to the buyer for the 2027 crop year. Roughly four to five acres of fenced pasture connect to the barn, complete with a small creek running through and well suited to horses or livestock, while wooded ground and two permanent deer blinds offer excellent recreation and hunting. A long list of outbuildings rounds out the property, including a 30x50 detached garage, a 65x40 barn with electric and water and a hay loft, a tobacco barn, a chicken coop, and a dog kennel. A cell tower is located on the property; the seller is retaining the cell tower lease. Whether you are looking for a private homestead, a recreational retreat, an income-producing farm, or all three at once, this Highland County property delivers a truly hard-to-replicate package of acreage, improvements, and location.
