3237 Swan Creek Road, Crown City, OH 45623

This is a listing that deserves genuine attention.    Southeastern Ohio continues to emerge as one of the most respected regions for serious recreational landownership. It's not because of hype or headlines - it's because of a consistent track record of producing quality whitetails and rewarding, challenging hunts. This property exemplifies why that reputation exists.    Located in the hills just outside Crown City, this 76± acre tract lies in the heart of big buck country. While I personally hunt less than an aerial mile from here, this is the kind of ground where the whitetails grow large and the hunting challenge is real. Just over the ridge is where my father-in-law hunted for decades, and within range of this tract is where his father tagged two giants in the high 170s during the late 1970s. This ground has history, and it's still producing. The genetics remain strong, and the terrain continues to reward those who know how to hunt it right.    The property stretches across three distinct ridges, with deep valleys and wooded draws creating natural funnels and bedding cover throughout. This tract hunts much larger than its actual size thanks to its topography and layout. The timber is a standout feature, anchored by a mature stand of white oak - a rarity in today's market. Predominantly white oak with red oak, hickory, and scattered walnut provide a diverse hardwood mix. Numerous towering persimmon trees scatter throughout the property, not only adding to the timber profile but offering a high-value natural food source for wildlife. Timber is select-cut ready in key areas, providing both current and future value.    The current owner has approached the property with purpose and patience. Over the past three seasons, not a single buck has been harvested - not due to lack of sightings, but because none reached the high standard he set. Bucks were observed and passed, year after year, to allow them time to mature. That level of discipline has created an exceptional opportunity for the next owner. This property has not been over-pressured. It has been watched, improved, and protected. Strategic improvements include water holes, feeder sites, multiple stand locations, and a well-maintained internal trail system. The front of the property opens into a roughly 1-acre clover plot with potential for food plot expansion. The property is bordered by large tracts of timber and lies within a short distance of fertile agricultural bottomlands near the Ohio River. This area of Gallia County doesn't offer much row crop land - which makes the surrounding ag even more influential. This combination of rich cover and nearby agriculture gives this tract the potential to produce the kind of deer that Southeastern Ohio is known for.    A brand-new pole barn was constructed in 2024, offering ample space to store equipment, house a camper, or begin building out a hunting camp. The structure is 36 feet wide, 48 feet deep, and 16 feet tall. The 16-foot overhead garage door is waiting to be installed, and wiring is run to service a 200-amp panel inside the barn. Utilities on site include a rural water tap and AEP electric service with 50-amp and 70-amp camper hookups already installed. Whether you plan to use this as a weekend retreat or future build site, the groundwork has already been laid.    Additional equipment and improvement options are available for offering, including a Rambo electric bicycle, a storage container, a camper, a tractor with attachments, and more. These assets can further enhance the functionality and turnkey nature of this exceptional hunting retreat.    The property features substantial road frontage along Swan Creek Road, offering excellent access and visibility. Located in a peaceful, remote setting less than one mile from the Ohio River bottomlands and about 35 minutes from Huntington, West Virginia, it's surrounded by large landowners and thick wildlife cover.
