35.73-Acre Ross County Record-Book Whitetail Tract — Scenic Ravine with Rocky Stream, Natural Deer Funnels, ~1,500 ft Road Frontage, Diverse Terrain, Two Parcels, $112 Annual Taxes
Located in highly sought-after Ross County — widely considered the top county in southern Ohio for world-class, record-book whitetail bucks — this 35.73-acre vacant tract offers an outstanding opportunity to own a premier hunting and recreational property. The combination of terrain, cover, and natural water features makes this one of the most well-configured small hunting properties in the region.
A scenic ravine with a rocky stream running through it creates the kind of topographic funnel that concentrates deer movement through predictable travel corridors. Combined with the diverse mix of flat areas, rolling ground, and steeper terrain, the property is loaded with natural stand opportunities. The layout allows a buyer to build near the road frontage while keeping the back section completely undisturbed for wildlife.
Nearly 1,500 feet of road frontage on Turkey Ridge Road provides multiple potential driveway and build locations — an unusually large amount of frontage for the acreage. Annual taxes are just $112. The property spans two parcels and is approximately 20 minutes from Chillicothe and 15 minutes from Greenfield.
