A Rare Opportunity to Own Over 1,000 Contiguous Acres in Southern Ohio
Opportunities of this magnitude simply do not come along often.
Spanning approximately 1,043 contiguous acres in Ross County, Ohio, this remarkable property represents one of the largest contiguous tracts of recreational and hunting land to hit the Southern Ohio market.
Stretching nearly 3.5 miles from end to end, the sheer scale of this property is difficult to appreciate until you experience it firsthand. Approximately 30 acres are tillable, while the remaining acreage consists primarily of rolling wooded terrain with areas of steeper topography, creating the diverse habitat and seclusion that Southern Ohio is known for.
Whether the vision is to create a premier hunting property, long-term land investment, private recreational retreat, or a legacy property to be enjoyed for generations, 1,043± contiguous acres provides a level of opportunity that is nearly impossible to replicate.

Land & Layout – Over 1,000 Contiguous Acres
At 1,043± acres, this property offers a scale rarely available on the open market in Southern Ohio.
The property stretches nearly 3.5 miles, providing an incredible amount of room for wildlife management, recreation, trail systems, food plots, hunting locations, and future improvements.
Approximately 30 acres are currently tillable, providing established open ground that could potentially be utilized for agriculture, wildlife food plots, habitat improvements, or other uses.
The remainder consists predominantly of wooded acreage with rolling ridges, draws, hollows, and areas of steeper terrain. The diversity and sheer size of the property provide countless opportunities to customize the land around a future owner's goals.
On a property this large, the possibilities are nearly limitless.

Three Points of Access – A Major Hunting Advantage
One of the most important features of this property is its three separate points of access from Bogard Road, Turkey Ridge Road, and Kerr Hill Road.
For serious whitetail hunters, multiple access points can be one of the most valuable features a property offers.
Being able to approach and leave different portions of the property based on wind direction, deer movement, bedding locations, hunting pressure, and time of year can dramatically improve the ability to hunt a property effectively without unnecessarily disturbing wildlife.
On more than 1,000 acres, this becomes even more important.
Rather than being forced to access the entire property from one location, three separate entrances provide the flexibility to develop multiple hunting zones and strategically enter different portions of the farm depending on conditions.
That kind of access is difficult to create—and incredibly valuable on a property of this scale.

World-Class Southern Ohio Whitetail Country
Ross County and the surrounding Southern Ohio region have developed a reputation for producing exceptional whitetail deer, and this property sits in an incredible area for hunters looking to manage ground for mature bucks.
With more than 1,000 contiguous acres under one ownership, a future owner has the ability to think beyond individual stand locations and manage the property on a landscape level.
The combination of wooded ridges, secluded hollows, tillable acreage, varied terrain, and tremendous interior acreage provides the ingredients needed to create an exceptional whitetail property.
The property's size also provides something increasingly difficult to find: room to hunt without putting pressure on the entire farm.
There is enough ground here to establish sanctuaries, bedding areas, destination food sources, water sources, trail networks, and multiple hunting locations while leaving substantial portions of the property undisturbed.
For someone looking to create and manage a truly special Southern Ohio hunting property, the canvas is here.

Recreation, Investment & Legacy
While the hunting potential is a major attraction, the opportunity extends far beyond hunting.
With 1,043± contiguous acres, the property offers possibilities for:
• Whitetail and turkey hunting
• Hiking and trail riding
• ATV and side-by-side recreation
• Horseback riding
• Camping and private retreats
• Wildlife and habitat management
• Timber and land investment
• Agricultural use of the tillable acreage
• Future improvements and development opportunities
• Creating a private family compound
• Building a generational landholding
Large contiguous tracts of land are becoming increasingly difficult to assemble. Owning more than 1,000 acres in one block provides a combination of privacy, control, recreational opportunity, and long-term investment potential that smaller properties simply cannot replicate.

Location & Accessibility
Despite its tremendous size and secluded setting, the property remains conveniently located to several Southern Ohio communities and recreational destinations.
Bainbridge and Chillicothe are both within a short drive, providing access to shopping, dining, fuel, lodging, and everyday amenities.
The property is also conveniently located near Pike State Forest, Paint Creek, and Rocky Fork Lake, placing thousands of additional acres of public recreation and some of Southern Ohio's most popular outdoor destinations within easy reach.
This combination of massive private acreage and convenient access to surrounding amenities makes the property equally suited for a hunting retreat, recreational investment, or long-term family property.

Additional 388± Acres Available Across the Road
For a buyer looking for an even larger landholding, there are an additional 388± acres located directly across the road.
The availability of the neighboring acreage creates an extraordinary opportunity for someone looking to control an even larger footprint in this part of Ross County.
Combined, the properties present the potential to assemble more than 1,400 acres in the immediate area—an opportunity that is exceptionally difficult to recreate in today's land market.

Why This Property Stands Out
There are large properties, and then there are properties that offer enough acreage to create something truly special.
This property offers:
• 1,043± contiguous acres
• Nearly 3.5 miles from end to end
• One of the largest contiguous tracts to hit the Southern Ohio market
• Three separate access points
• Approximately 30 acres of tillable ground
• More than 1,000 acres of predominantly wooded terrain
• Outstanding potential for world-class whitetail management
• Exceptional privacy and interior acreage
• Limitless recreational opportunities
• Long-term land and timber investment potential
• All seller-owned mineral rights transferring
• Additional 388± acres available directly across the road
• Convenient access to Bainbridge and Chillicothe
Few properties offer this combination of scale, access, location, habitat, and opportunity.

The Opportunity – Build a Legacy
Properties like this are about more than acreage.
They are about the opportunity to own a piece of land large enough to manage, improve, explore, hunt, and pass down through generations.
At more than 1,000 contiguous acres, this is the type of property where a future owner can create an entire vision—from an elite whitetail management program and extensive trail network to a private lodge, family retreat, or long-term land investment.
It's an opportunity to build something that could be enjoyed not only today, but by children and grandchildren decades from now.
Own the land. Manage the habitat. Build the memories. Create the legacy.
Opportunities to acquire 1,043 contiguous acres in Southern Ohio do not come along often.
