62.678+/- Acre Franklin County Ohio Land Auction

Opportunities to buy acreage this close to Hilliard have become rare, and this 62.678+/- acre Franklin County, Ohio farm delivers both working cropland and long-term location value. Positioned along Scioto & Darby Creek Road in Brown Township with roughly 1,100 feet of road frontage, just west of Hilliard, the property sits in the western path of the Columbus metro's steady suburban growth - close enough to the city's amenities to matter, rural enough to still feel like the country. The tract carries 45.47+/- tillable acres of open, level cropland running across gentle 0-2% slopes, and the soil profile is what sets it apart: a productive blend led by Crosby silt loam with roughly 40% Kokomo silty clay loam, a deep, dark, naturally fertile soil that ranks among the most productive in central Ohio. It is ground that has been farmed and can keep earning in row crops for an operator or investor from day one. Roughly 17 acres of the tract is wooded - a natural draw for deer and other wildlife and a ready spot for hunting and recreation. The Worthington-Sherwood Ditch runs through the immediate area, contributing established drainage to the surrounding farm ground. Whether the goal is expanding a farm base, adding a well-located piece to a land portfolio, or securing acreage in a fast-growing part of Franklin County before pieces like it grow scarcer, this tract offers a genuine mix of use and upside. It will be offered as a single tract at public auction on Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
