66 Acres — The Premier Recreational Estate of De Loss Creek Road. On-Site Water, Ridgetop Views, Sustainable Timber & Legacy Land in Lawrence County
This is the flagship property of the De Loss Creek Road offerings — a commanding 66 acres that represents the premier recreational estate opportunity in Lawrence County. This expansive tract combines everything that makes southeastern Ohio's Appalachian region special: vast acreage for true privacy and seclusion, an on-site water source for self-sufficiency, extensive trail systems for exploration, and the kind of scale that allows for serious land stewardship or development.
At 66 acres, this property provides the room to create a truly comprehensive recreational compound. The extensive trail network already in place connects all corners of the acreage, winding through diverse terrain that includes ridgetops with long views, protected hollows, and everything in between. The presence of an on-site water source adds tremendous value — options include pond development, livestock watering, irrigation, or simply the peace of mind that comes with water independence.
The recently timbered landscape is now regenerating with young hardwoods that will develop into a valuable timber stand over time. This property's size makes it a legitimate timber investment, with enough acreage to implement sustainable forestry practices that generate periodic income while the overall stand matures. Meanwhile, the regenerating habitat creates outstanding conditions for deer, turkey, and other game species that thrive in edge environments and young forest growth.
Located adjacent to Wayne National Forest and minutes from Lake Vesuvius Recreation Area, this property effectively expands into thousands of acres of public land for those who want even more room to roam. For the buyer seeking a legacy property — land to build on, hunt on, harvest timber from, and pass down through generations — this 66-acre estate delivers on every count.

Questions About This Lawrence County Flagship Property
-
At 66 acres it is the largest single tract available — giving a buyer the scale required for true privacy and seclusion, plus room for a comprehensive recreational compound with multiple use areas. It is the only tract with an on-site water source, adding value for pond development, livestock, or water self-sufficiency. It also offers the largest timber investment footprint — enough acreage to implement sustainable forestry practices that generate periodic income while the stand matures.
-
The property has an on-site water source that adds significant value and options. It can be developed into a pond, used for livestock watering, used for irrigation, or retained as a natural water feature that enhances wildlife habitat. Having an on-site water source provides water independence and a properly developed pond becomes a permanent asset — increasing property value, supporting deer and turkey year-round, and providing fishing and recreation.
-
The 66-acre scale is large enough to implement sustainable forestry practices — selectively harvesting timber on a rotation that generates periodic income while the overall stand continues to mature. This creates an ongoing revenue stream without liquidating the entire timber value at once. A professional timber management plan could identify the most valuable sections for selective harvest while protecting the habitat character and long-term investment value of the remainder.
-
At 66 acres with an on-site water source, extensive trails, timber investment potential, hunting habitat, and adjacency to Wayne National Forest, this is land with multiple uses that can serve different generations differently. A family can build a hunting cabin today, manage timber over decades, develop a pond, and eventually pass down a property that has grown in both character and value. Legacy land is defined less by its current state and more by what it can become — and this tract has the scale and features to support that vision.
-
