185 Acres in Raymond, OH - $3,515,000

This is the largest privately owned wetland in the state of Ohio. This place was built by serious hunters for a waterfowl paradise known as ''Bear Swamp'', which has been operated as a hunting and fishing club for the last 20 years. Sitting on the headwaters of the tributary to the Big Darby Creek plus along the Mississippi and Atlantic flyways. As you pull into the clubhouse(26x50) with living quarters and storage for equipment, you will need to lace up those boots or jump in a side-by-side to get around this wildlife mecca. A well-defined trail system will navigate you around the property from wetland to wetland and by the four ponds that have been strategically built, adding up to plus or minus 95 acres of water on this property. The wetlands have control boxes, so you have the option to plant the flats in the spring and summer and then flood the food for the hunting season. Also, having the option to hunt some flooded timber, who wouldn't like an early morning hunt listening to mallards coming through the timber? The roughly 15 acres of hardwoods are fully mature and full of oaks; the tree lines that divide the wetlands are perfect travel corridors for the local deer herd. The farm has access from the north and the south giving the hunter the ability to play the wind when deer hunting. The portions of the property that are not flooded or timber are warm-season grasses providing perfect nesting cover for birds. The sellers are retaining the mineral, oil and gas rights.
