The hayfields fields wind down the top of each ridge and are loaded with clover. When it comes to hunting, the ridge top fields give you incredible access to most areas of the property allowing you to get in and get setup without spooking deer. There are numerous small clearings that would make ideal spots for small hunting plots and with the larger fields you could add unlimited deer food. The hollows are fairly deep and there is approx 350 of elevation change on the property. On the North side there is big secluded hollow that is the main drainage on the property and holds a ton of deer. On the West side the property drops off a big ridge point, goes down and crosses State Route 68 and adjoins Red Oak Creek. There is roughly 900 of frontage on Red Oak Creek with approx 7-8 acres on the West side of the road. This area would make nice spot to camp, with plenty of room to do a little fishing or hang a tree stand down by the creek. At that point on the creek the property is less than a half mile from the Ohio river so there is no telling what kind of fish you could get into.
There is an old 30 x 40 barn with electric that is in pretty good useable condition and would make an excellent spot to build or setup hunting camp. It is Located in area that would not affect the hunting too bad. It sits overlooking the pond and would be perfect for storing equipment and gear or using to park a small camper in out of the weather. County water is available at the edge of the property only several hundred feet from the barn.
This area is second to none for genetics and producing big old bruiser bucks. There are great deer numbers, lots of topography and cover allowing the bucks to get good age on them. Crops are in the area however there is not an over abundance of them right near the property so adding major food sources would have a huge impact on the property. For a number of years now the hunting activity on this farm has been very light.
For someone who wanted a home there is 3 bed, 2.5 bath ranch home on just over three acres that adjoins this farm and gives it another point of access. Address is 3635 Buena Vista, Ripley, Oh 45167 - MLS#1358169 and 1381678
