About this property

First Class Trophy Ranch is a 115 acre, two-parcel turnkey hunting operation in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, anchored by a 5,966 square foot lakefront lodge and a fully built-out business that grossed roughly $800,000 last year. This is a rare opportunity for an investor or serious hunter to step into a profitable, fully operating premier whitetail destination on day one, with no advertising spend, no buildout, and no learning curve. The recently renovated lodge sleeps multiple parties, sits on a private lake with dock access, and is delivered fully furnished with appliances, dining and common areas, and refreshment stock already in place. A second building of roughly 3,000 square feet sits on the property as a fully concrete, fully insulated outbuilding with its own bedroom, bathroom, taxidermy shop setup, and equipment storage, giving the operator or owner-occupant a full second workspace and guest quarters. The hunting program is built around trophy whitetail, with the seller reporting 30 to 40 shooter-class bucks ready for the fall season and another 30 does and younger bucks already on the property. Additional species on the ranch include aoudad, red stag, fallow deer, and longhorn rams, giving the operator multiple revenue lines and repeat-booking variety that single-species ranches cannot match. A stocked pond holds bluegill, bass, and crappie, expanding the property's recreational appeal into off-season fishing and family programming. A trail system, hunting blinds, food plots, and a deer trailer all transfer with the sale, so the next owner walks into a fully functional infrastructure rather than rebuilding from raw ground. Roughly $500,000 to $600,000 in animals and furnishings are also included in the transfer, meaning real, liquid value moves with the deed. From a cost-to-replicate standpoint, the seller estimates that rebuilding this operation from scratch, land plus structures plus livestock plus brand plus client list, would run somewhere near $68 million. With an asking price of $3.9 million against last year's reported $800,000 in gross revenue, the property carries a realistic payback runway in the high single-digit-year range for a competent operator. The location is purpose-built for a destination ranch business, sitting five minutes off Interstate 77 and within a two-hour drive of four major airports including Akron-Canton, Cleveland, Columbus, and Pittsburgh. Stone Creek anchors one of Ohio's most-traveled rural tourism corridors, placing the ranch inside a regional draw for handmade goods, scratch-cooked dining, and short-trip destination travel that already brings consistent visitor flow into the area. The current owners have never marketed the lodge for Airbnb, weddings, corporate retreats, or non-hunting bookings, leaving a sizable second income stream completely untapped for the next operator to develop. Both parcels, 30-00303-000 (109.9 acres) and 30-00360-001 (5.54 acres), are titled clean with utilities in place, county-recorded coordinates 40.39375, -81.59085, and a Warranty Deed conveyance path. For the hunter who has weighed paying weekly rates against owning a private destination ranch outright, this is one of the few opportunities in Ohio that delivers a turnkey, revenue-positive, fully stocked operation in a single transaction. For the investor, the combination of working revenue, included tangible assets, untapped lodging and events upside, and a replacement cost multiple of the ask is the kind of asymmetric land-and-business position that almost never reaches the open market.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
