This 34 acre tract in Dover Township runs 160 feet from the creek bottom at 680 feet up to the ridge at 840 feet, and that elevation is the whole story on this property. Salt Creek runs the east line. Between the bottom and the ridge you get bench after bench of standing hardwood timber, and the hollows funnel deer exactly where a hunter wants them. There is a real mix of mature and young oak here, which means both timber value and a food source that keeps whitetail on the property instead of passing through. The country around this tract has a long history of strong whitetail genetics and there is ample turkey as well. Access comes off Salt Creek Road on gravel frontage, and the seller is willing to offer an easement through his own ground for better access. Electric and rural water are available at the road. There are no deed restrictions on the parcels. Thousands of acres of Wayne National Forest sit nearby, which adds public ground to hunt without adding neighbors to your back line. Strouds Run State Park is roughly 8 miles away for hiking, fishing and kayaking, and the Hocking River is close by. Athens is roughly 8 miles for groceries, fuel and everything else, and Hocking Hills is roughly 30 miles out. The tract sells as one piece, not carved up, so you get bottom, bench and ridge under one name. The seller does not believe he owns the mineral rights. Annual real estate taxes run 220 dollars. Properties with this much vertical relief and a creek on the line do not come up often in Athens County. Athens County parcels G010010041400, G010010041300 and G010010040800.
