This 26-acre farm in Scioto County has all the right pieces — especially if you’re dreaming about building your forever home on a scenic little homestead.
The land is mostly rolling pasture with a beautiful elevated knoll right in the center — hands down one of the nicest build sites I’ve seen in a long time. Front porch views, back porch sunsets… it’s the kind of spot that makes you start sketching house plans.
There’s also a small patch of woods in the southeast corner with mature timber that could easily be turned into a tucked-away hunting honeyhole. Just the right mix of open ground and cover to make it functional and beautiful.
Access is rock solid — you’ve got 50 feet of frontage right on Big Bear Creek Road (not an easement), which makes bringing in utilities a breeze. Public water and electric are available at the road, and you’ll just need to install a septic system.
And when it comes to location, you’re in great shape:
