Selling ABSOLUTE - ONLINE ONLY: Located along County Road 36 in Jefferson County near Bloomingdale, Ohio, this wooded recreational property offers a combination of water, diverse wildlife habitat, and convenient access in one of eastern Ohio's premier outdoor recreation areas. With more than 2,600 feet of road frontage and over 3,100 feet of Salem Creek flowing through the property, this tract provides a blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The rock-bottom creek creates the perfect setting for enjoying time outdoors with friends and family during the warmer months while serving as a dependable year-round water source for wildlife. The creek corridor enhances the property's natural character and supports a variety of native species.

The timber consists of a healthy mix of hardwoods, including young oak stands, along with established conifer thickets that provide valuable thermal cover during the winter months. Thick vegetation throughout the creek bottom creates excellent bedding habitat for deer and other wildlife, while the varying timber types provide diversity across the landscape.

Deer sign is abundant throughout the property, including numerous heavily traveled trails, bedding areas, rubs, and scrapes. The property's combination of cover, water, and natural travel corridors contributes to the area's reputation for quality whitetail and turkey hunting.

The terrain includes several topographical features that strongly influence wildlife movement. A creek channel swing bluff creates a prominent ridgetop pinch point funneling deer right where you need them for the moment of truth, while the surrounding ridges and draws provide additional travel corridors throughout the property. Additionally, this property is surrounded by large tracts with destination ag fields and borders a church camp with over 600 acres of no hunting, providing an incredible sanctuary environment.

Gas and electric transmission rights-of-way cross portions of the property, creating established clearings that may be suitable for wildlife habitat improvements, food plots, or other approved uses, subject to the applicable easement agreements. These open corridors complement the surrounding hardwood timber and provide additional diversity across the acreage.

Being located just three miles off US-22, this property offers convenient access while maintaining a private, wooded setting. The combination of extensive road frontage, a year-round creek, mature timber, and varied terrain provides flexibility for buyers seeking recreational acreage, hunting land, or a potential future building site, subject to local zoning and permitting requirements.

Whether your interests include hunting, hiking, wildlife photography, splashing in the creek with the kids, or simply enjoying the outdoors, this Jefferson County property offers a diverse landscape that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
