Adams County, Ohio Rural Home for Sale ________________________________________ 2173 Savage Rd. Peebles, Ohio 45660 Over the past 24 years, this farm has been transformed from an old cattle operation into an exceptional whitetail property. Every improvement was the result of careful planning, thoughtful design, and years of dedicated work. The current owner built this farm with one goal in mind: creating one of the premier trophy whitetail properties in southern Ohio. With a strict focus on trophy whitetail management, only mature, older-age-class bucks have been harvested. The trail camera photos and harvest history speak for themselves. Now it's time for the next owner to enjoy everything that's been built. The moment you step foot on this exceptional property; you know that you are on a one-of-a-kind property. THE HOME The property includes an older farmhouse that is in need of repair but provides a solid foundation for the next owner. While the home would benefit from updates and renovations, it is currently livable and is equipped with electric, water, and an existing septic system. Whether you're looking for a hunting camp, a place to stay while building your dream home, or a renovation project, the existing utilities add both value and convenience. OUTBUILDINGS There is a 75’x24’ covered metal building to store all the necessary toys and tools to maintain this magnificent property. LAND This exceptional 272-acre hunting property has been meticulously developed and managed over the past 24 years with one objective in mind—producing older age class trophy whitetails. Every improvement has been carefully planned and strategically implemented to maximize habitat, nutrition, and hunting opportunities, creating a truly turnkey property for the serious deer hunter. Approximately 13 acres of established food plots are strategically positioned throughout the farm, highlighted by an impressive 6-acre destination plot located in the south-central portion of the property. This primary feeding area serves as the centerpiece of the farm's habitat plan, drawing deer from across the property while allowing them to stage naturally before entering the plot. Multiple stand locations, combined with the property's established bedding areas and travel corridors, create outstanding opportunities to hunt mature bucks under a variety of wind conditions. The habitat improvements extend well beyond the food plots. Native warm-season grass plantings and CRP tree plantings are scattered throughout the farm, providing exceptional bedding cover, security, and travel corridors. A 7-acre mature pine planting sits on the highest elevation of the property, creating valuable thermal cover during the late season. Encircling the pines is a well-established clover planting that provides an additional food source, while an adjoining 3.5-acre north-facing clear-cut has been intentionally created to provide ideal bedding habitat for mature bucks. Complementing these improvements is a diverse stand of mature hardwood timber that covers much of the property, offering abundant mast production, natural browse, and excellent habitat diversity. The combination of mature timber, dense bedding cover, strategically located food sources, and carefully planned habitat enhancements creates a farm that consistently holds and produces mature whitetails. Adding to its uniqueness, the property is bordered on three sides by Ohio Brush Creek, creating a natural boundary that enhances privacy and wildlife security. Deep and wide enough for kayaking, the creek also provides outstanding opportunities for waterfowl hunting, fishing, and year-round recreation. This rare combination of premier deer habitat and exceptional creek frontage makes the property as enjoyable outside of deer season as it is during it. Whether you're looking for a premier hunting property, a long-term recreational investment, or a legacy farm to enjoy for generations, this southern Ohio property represents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously managed farm where every acre has been developed with a purpose. Wildlife The current owner has owned and intensively managed this farm for more than 24 years with a primary focus on producing mature, trophy-class whitetails. Harvest efforts have been limited to bucks 5½ years of age and older, and the results speak for themselves, as evidenced by an impressive collection of trail camera photos and harvest history. The property also supports a strong population of wild turkeys, with numerous birds observed during our recent tour of the farm. In addition, the extensive native warm-season grass plantings have created quality habitat for Ohio's once-abundant northern bobwhite quail, offering a glimpse of the diverse wildlife this property supports. A prescribed burn of the native grass fields would further enhance habitat quality and continue the property's long-term wildlife management success.
