About this land

This is 38 acres of white oak woods in Meigs County, Ohio, with a creek running through the ground and gravel frontage on two roads, Bentz Road and Horse Cave Road. Electric and city water are already at the road, so the two lines a builder usually waits on are waiting on you. The seller describes a large, beautiful flat right as you pull in, the natural building site, with large white oak timber around it so the home site stays secluded. A second flat sits back by the creek, the kind of spot a hunter marks on the first walk. The seller reports great deer sign, and there are no stands or food plots on the ground yet, so it is a blank slate to lay out your own way. You choose which road the drive comes off, and you clear only what the house and the drive need. Mineral rights are recorded as included and convey to the buyer. Racine, the nearest village, is about seven road miles south on the Ohio River, with its own branch of the county library, and Eastern Local Schools serve it. Pomeroy, the county seat, is about nine road miles west on the river. Athens and Ohio University are about 29 road miles northwest, with O'Bleness Memorial Hospital there, and Holzer runs a 24-hour emergency department in the county. The state is widening US 33 through Athens and Meigs counties to four lanes, with work running into 2028. For the hunter, Shade River State Forest sits about seven miles northeast as the crow flies, next to Forked Run State Park, and both are open to hunting in season with a license. The AEP Gavin public hunting lands add 6,885 more acres in the county, permit required. An AEP 345 kV transmission line crosses the land north to south.

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.
