5.22 Acres — Build Your Dream Home, Cabin, or Barndominium in Clermont County's Franklin Township
Looking for the perfect blank slate to build your dream home, cabin, or barndominium? This beautiful 5.22+/- acre tract in Franklin Township offers a rare mix of privacy, usability, wildlife, and convenience — all on a quiet, low-traffic country road just 45 minutes from Cincinnati.
The land features flat terrain that requires little to no excavation, lightly open timber that provides natural screening without limiting usability, and a secluded setting tucked well off the main road and out of sight from neighbors. Electric is available at the road and water is available through the Tate Monroe Water Association — two of the biggest hurdles for a rural build already solved for you.
A beautiful pond at the back of the property gives this tract something most 5-acre lots simply don't have — a natural backyard feature that enhances both the lifestyle and the long-term value. Whether you're envisioning a peaceful country home, a weekend getaway cabin, or a barndominium with space to breathe, this is the kind of blank canvas that makes it easy to say yes.

Questions About This Clermont County Property
-
Electric is available at the road and water is available through the Tate Monroe Water Association. A septic system would be required for sewage — contact Clermont County for current permitting and setback requirements. Having both electric and water already accessible at the property line significantly reduces the cost and complexity of getting a build started.

Yes. The terrain is flat and easy, requiring little to no excavation — one of the biggest cost savers on a rural build project.

-
There's a beautiful pond located at the back of the property. It adds both aesthetic value and wildlife draw — providing a natural backyard feature that most comparably priced rural lots simply don't have. The full 5.22 acres is usable with the pond functioning as a backyard amenity, not a limitation on the buildable area.
