550 Acres in Gallipolis, OH - $2,400,000

These 550+/- rolling acres of prime wildlife habitat lay in Southeastern Ohios Gallia County. This farm is a special place as the land has been intensively managed to produce some of the most diverse and quality wildlife habitat that Ohio has to offer. There are typically three main resources that top-notch hunting farms must have to reach their potential. These resources include food, cover, and water. The fourth and most forgotten or under-rated factor is security! Secure properties that offer quality habitat are rare finds. This property offers all four of these important factors in an extremely huntable layout. There are over 10 miles of trails to access Redneck Blinds and tree stands already in place across the farm. These 550 acres have been professionally managed by Land & Legacy to provide the best habitat and hunting experience this tract can offer. You must come and tour this farm for yourself.

The property has over 80 acres of tillable bottomland that are currently being farmed in a corn/soybean rotation providing cash rent income and ample summertime food supply. In addition, there are over 300 acres of timber comprised of primarily chestnut oak, white oak, hickory, and maple timber. Strategically placed bedding area thickets have been established throughout many portions of these timbered acres. This timber management strategy was implemented to offer more woody browse and increased cover on this farm while concentrating deer during daylight hours. The additional open acres are made up of roughly 40 acres of food plots and 80 acres of early successional habitat. As any other true wildlife property should provide, there is no shortage of food or cover at any point of the year. The current owner has been selecting older age class deer to harvest to ensure each deer reaches its maximum potential. By offering the best resources in the neighborhood deer are staying within the property boundaries allowing for a very balanced age class to develop. There will be many opportunities to harvest 4.5+ during the fall of 2019! Several impressive bucks have been harvested over the past few seasons, but the quality of bucks still in the field is the most encouraging part! Look through the photos to see the past success and crop of young bucks developing a well-rounded age-structure.

As an added bonus the previous owner designed and built a world-class bass fishing lake. This 4-acre lake was built from the start to grow and catch Ohios state record bass. Just like the forage and cover on the rest of the property, this lake offers various terrain features such as ridges, valleys, troughs, and saddles. Lake Mickey offers specifically laid out spawning beds for bass and bait fish, fluffy and dense cover, intensive feeding program, and even a Volkswagen Bug and a grain bin for additional structure! The stocking program brought in F1 Tiger bass, this lake is the only lake in Ohio to have these aggressive growing bass stocked. The rate of weight gain on these bass over the past two growing seasons is incredibly impressive! This lake is special and is truly one of a kind recreational opportunity here in Southern Ohio.

The Hogan will be hosting the 2019 QDMA Steward II Course. This the only public course offered by the Quality Deer Management Association during this calendar year. This property exemplifies the diversity and quality of habitat necessary to host such a course. There will be both professional, private, and deer enthusiasts from across the country attending this course.

The 4 bedroom 3.5 bath log home sits overlooking Lake Mickey. No corners were cut in the design, construction, and build of this beautiful home. The interior of this home was completed bringing many elements and design together tastefully. This would make for a great permanent residence or even a second home for a nonresident. There is a walk-in safe room, sunroom, floor to ceiling stone fireplace, and picturesque back porch view over Lake Mickey!

The equipment is also available for purchase making this property a true turn-key operation.
