Description

Tract 1 is the five acre piece where this offering meets the road. Behind the frontage there is a clearing, and a trail running back from it into the woods. Five acres out here is a driveway, a house site, a yard, and enough timber behind you that the road goes quiet. It is the front door of the offering and the easiest piece on the hill to build on. Ten tracts came off this hill in Fairfield Township, Washington County, Ohio, and three are already spoken for. The road out front is State Route 555, the Triple Nickel, sixty two miles of it running from the Ohio River at Little Hocking north to Zanesville. Riders have nicknamed the winding middle stretch Ohio's Tail of the Dragon. The ground is unglaciated Appalachian plateau. The glaciers never reached this corner of Ohio, so instead of flat till ground you get narrow ridges, steep sides, and hollows cut down into sandstone and shale. Oak and hickory hold the ridgetops and the south faces. Down in the cool north slopes it turns to sugar maple, poplar, black walnut and beech. Utilities: the property sits in Washington Electric Cooperative territory. No piped natural gas serves rural Fairfield Township, so propane is the norm. City water serves some tracts on this property and not others, and the seller has not specified which, so confirm availability for this tract before purchase. Hunting: Washington County checked 410 wild turkeys in the 2024 spring season, fifth highest of Ohio's eighty eight counties. The county sits inside Ohio's Disease Surveillance Area, which opens archery two weeks early on September 12. Ohio resident landowners may hunt their own ground without a hunting license, as may their children at any age and grandchildren under eighteen. Location: Warren Local School District, out of Vincent. About twenty two miles to Athens and roughly twenty five minutes to Parkersburg, with Marietta downriver where the Muskingum meets the Ohio. The nearest Wayne National Forest ground is about ten miles from this boundary. Annual taxes will be set once the split is recorded and a per tract parcel number is assigned. Showings are strictly by appointment and a licensed agent must be present. All information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
