Description
Located in Madison, Ohio, this exceptional 126 +/- acre farm offers a rare opportunity to own a diverse property that combines productive farmland, quality wildlife habitat, mature timber, and residential improvements in one of Lake County's desirable rural settings. Whether you are searching for a working farm, recreational retreat, hunting property, or long-term land investment, this property provides a unique combination of features that are increasingly difficult to find.
Approximately 56 +/- acres are currently in productive tillable farmland, offering the opportunity for agricultural income while supporting local farming operations. The balance of the acreage consists of mature hardwood timber, rolling wooded hillsides, scenic ravines, and multiple natural drainage corridors, creating excellent wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities throughout the year.
The property's varied terrain provides exceptional cover and natural travel corridors for whitetail deer and other wildlife. Numerous ravines and elevation changes create ideal habitat diversity while several small creeks wind throughout the property, providing dependable water sources that further enhance the land's appeal for deer, wild turkey, and other native species. Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's natural layout, with the combination of food sources, cover, water, and timber creating excellent conditions for wildlife activity.
Beyond its recreational value, the mature wooded acreage offers long-term appeal, with established hardwood timber that enhances the property's scenic beauty and overall character. The diverse landscape also provides opportunities for hiking, ATV riding, nature photography, wildlife observation, and enjoying the outdoors in a peaceful country setting.
The property includes two existing homes. One residence is considered a tear-down and may provide an opportunity for removal or future site improvements. The second home is an approximately 1,810-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bath residence that appears to have solid structural bones but is ready for updating and remodeling. With improvements, the home could serve as a full-time residence, hunting camp, weekend retreat, or farm headquarters.
One of the property's most significant attributes is its balance of productive agricultural ground and recreational acreage. Owners can enjoy the benefits of active farmland while having immediate access to outstanding hunting, outdoor recreation, and the privacy that large acreage properties provide.
The property is protected by an Agricultural Easement that helps preserve the land for agricultural use. The easement prohibits future subdivision of the property. Buyers should review all easement documents to understand permitted uses, restrictions, and responsibilities associated with ownership. Agricultural easements help preserve valuable farmland while protecting the area's rural character for future generations.
Conveniently located in Madison, the property provides easy access to nearby communities, shopping, restaurants, and major transportation routes while maintaining the privacy and tranquility of rural living. Lake Erie, numerous Lake Metroparks properties, wineries, and other recreational destinations are all within a short drive, adding to the area's appeal.
Large tracts offering productive tillable acreage, mature timber, quality wildlife habitat, existing homes, and recreational opportunities are increasingly difficult to find in Lake County. This 126 +/- acre property presents an outstanding opportunity for buyers seeking a well-rounded farm with agricultural productivity, exceptional hunting habitat, natural beauty, and long-term investment potential
