The Barndominium:

It is an easy place to make memories and way more than just a place to lay your head at night. Walking into an open concept living, dining and kitchen the main level also features 2 private bedrooms and one bathroom with laundry hookups, premium kitchen cabinetry, countertops, high ceilings and a beautiful staircase leading to the loft which is comfortably staged with four twin size beds that could accommodate more or stackables. Heated and cooled by energy efficient units, public water, AEP electric and private septic. The lodge is also equipped with an attached 34x30 shop. If you are a hunter, you know this is the real memory maker area, staged and designed for a bar, a hoist and drain as well as a storage loft for off season gear, equipment and accessories. The oversized garage doors and high ceilings give a convenient dry storage option for ATVs, UTVs, Tractors and more. When you step outside you will respect the design even more with a wrap around front porch with that beautiful smoky mountain like view where you can see hilltops for miles. Additional detailed features of the exterior of the barndominium include hot tub hookup, a firepit, a ranch style cedar post gated entry, yard clearing with plenty of range for archery or firearm targets, professional landscaping and a wide parking apron with loop design to the driveway, convenient for multiple guests or those pulling trailers. Decor is not part of the sale, furniture can be negotiated.
The Habitat & Hunting Setup:
If you have watched outdoor tv or are a hunting fanatic you know exactly who designed this property. Terry Peer with Higgins Outdoors came to this property in 2024 and put his boots on the ground and his design to paper to forever change the habitat of this property. But rewind before that there was a long search by a longtime humble and wise hunter, a land professional and a habitat specialist from the area looking for natural features of the property that are irreversible with habitat improvement options, and when the boxes were checked and vision was seen Antler Ridge Lodge was born. Tagged Out Habitat Specialists were able to engineer the plan set forth by Higgins Outdoors. The plan called for aggressive TSI bedding improvements, the creation of ridgetop food plots, blind placement strategy, hidden access trail establishment as well as other informative directions including a soil management plan. The guys from Tagged Out did not cut any corners on making every improvement necessary, many months of man hours accumulated to bring this design full circle, this was no weekend hobby project, but truthfully one that took time, manpower and lots of heavy equipment.

The Features:
Design and craftsmanship were in high consideration in a meaningful way throughout the entire establishment of Antler Ridge Lodge, but some things can be changed in the short term and others never change. Features that not every property can use to their advantage and say they have are the two way access this property offers, quality access as many hunters know become one of the most critical make it or break features of hunting a mature whitetail. While maybe just as or even more important are thermals, in the early season morning hunts are a bit more difficult and a lot of hunters rely on evenings to hunt mature whitetail, in evenings thermals rise, which play to your favor having ridgetop food and access. Favorable to conservation, this property had 3 past timber harvests: 20 acres in 2001, 32 acres in 2012 and 30 acres in 2022, leaving nearly 80 acres untouched with a timber evaluation of over 260,000 board feet of marketable timber standing with a value of approximately $150,000 stated by a professional. By nature's design when timber is harvested your first year of regrowth does not establish bedding areas like 10 years of regrowth does, each season brings a different level of green to your property and as regeneration evolves it is convenient to have over 25 years of this type of management already built into the design. In the center of it all this property features a ? acre stocked fishing pond for off season enjoyment. Also another hub to meet the needs of the wildlife having cover and shade around the perimeters of the pond there is noticeable past rubs and scrape lines in this area ensuring its use. The wildlife sign between deer and turkey are remarkable, and two years of consistent trail camera history dot the i on emphasizing the health of the herd. A total of 12 acres of food plots have been professionally planted with a variety of seasonal wildlife favorites. The property also features Five Elevated 360 Hunting Blinds, Three 1200 lb feeders and strategically positioned tree stand locations.
The Story:
On every listing I have the privilege of offering, there is a story. Whether it is closing a chapter or beginning a new one it can give a bittersweet impression. This one here is a bit different however, you might wonder why would someone take their time, money and effort to create such a masterpiece to not receive full enjoyment of their own. It is simple, it is a new chapter for this owner, after many years of hunting whitetails across the country, years of learning experiences in the stand and years of reading about, hearing about and watching the professionals of the industry he wanted to put his own staple to the state he calls home and the outdoors in which he is passionate about. He has a belief that Ohio can be a name amongst the headlines of the whitetail world, because it already is. Being active in searching Ohio Hunting properties for many years he felt there were shortcomings of potential of what he envisioned a Turnkey Whitetail Property to be, so he decided to bring his vision to life unselfishlessly for you. This is not just another hunting property, this is a legacy product, a TURNKEY WHITETAIL PROPERTY.
