Acreage For Sale

This Gallia County property offers a versatile opportunity for country living, a weekend retreat, or a hunting base. Set on a ridge with scenic views and peaceful surroundings, it has been a place of enjoyment for evenings by the fire, stargazing, and quiet family gatherings. Trails throughout make it 4x4 ready, and the terrain is user-friendly with areas for camping, hunting, or building. Utilities are already in place with electric service on site (activation fees may apply, service not currently active), a water tap installed (activation fees may apply, service not currently active), and a septic tank. A solid barn stands on the property, improved with repaired doors, new T-111 siding, paint, and trim. Over 30 tons of debris were removed, including an old mobile home, camper, and scrap metal. The driveway was cleared, banks cut back, pastures brush-hogged and dozed, and trails reopened. Three acres were planted in premium seed mixes, with one pond started in a natural wet spot. Old fencing remains but will need repair. For hunting, a dirt platform was built for a tower stand overlooking a food plot, and a 150-pound Banks feeder is set on a post in a narrow pinch point. Another stand site has been identified and can be shared with a new owner. Food plots were cut and planted with Domain's Green Machine mix and turnips, while the pasture carries Altizer's mix of clover, rye, and grasses. Deer movement is consistent, with bedding areas toward the ridge top and timber breaks. Game cameras have shown a variety of deer, with the largest so far being a basket 8. While equipment and buggy traffic have been present this summer, the setup is designed for long-term success. Hardwoods include walnut, hickory, white oak, and red oak, and mature persimmon trees provide seasonal wildlife food. Acorns are beginning to drop, and a stream runs along the back boundary. The property is about 2 miles from the Ohio River with quick access to State Route 7 South. It is located in Gallia City School District and is convenient to Gallipolis for fuel, groceries, and hospital needs. Huntington, West Virginia, is nearby for larger services. Crown City Wildlife Area, with 12,000 acres of public hunting land, is about 15 minutes away. This property reflects significant investment of time and resources, with over 100 hours of heavy equipment use and many additional man-hours to restore and improve the land. It has been designed with hunting and recreation in mind, yet it also holds promise as a future homesite with space for a garden, livestock, and country living. Agent owned.
