Description
This conveniently located hunting tract is only 5 minutes from Ravenswood and 15 minutes from Ripley and offers hunting, recreational, and building opportunities. This property is situated on Bendview Drive directly off of RT 2 just south of Ravenswood. This land has quite a unique history and was originally surveyed by President George Washington on November 5th, 1770. This historical property was referenced in multiple books as being a part of the 20,000-acre section known as Washington Woods. Per the source, George Washington owned this property and Washington Woods until his death in 1799. The 20,000-acre property was broken into parcels and sold off by his heirs shortly after his death. The seller also has property documents dating back to 1852 and names and authors of the books referencing these details. The approximate 10+ acres of flat ground and fields throughout the creek bottom and ridge tops allow plenty of room for a new home, development, food plots for hunting, or livestock farming. In addition, this listing has approximately 1,741 ft of river frontage along the Great Bend in the Ohio River, which provides recreation and fishing opportunities. A variety of timber accompanies this tract which was selected cut 16” and up back in 2014. All mineral and surface rights will convey. An approximate 100’x150’ building lot is included with this listing along Bend View drive providing direct and convenient paved county road access. If you are interested in an amazing property with an attractive history, multiple building sites, ample hunting opportunities, as well as a convenient location, give the listing agent a call.
