Discover the privacy, country setting, and recreational opportunity of this well-maintained +/-40.425-acre homestead in Perry County. Located just 10 minutes from the Derby boat ramp on the Ohio River, this property offers a peaceful setting while keeping river recreation close at hand. The acreage features a mix of wooded hillsides and open hay ground, providing excellent habitat for deer and turkey. A natural spring flows from the woods, and the seller has been told a cave may be located above the spring in the hillside, although this has not been verified. The meticulously cared-for 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is truly move-in ready and has seen extensive updates, including a new roof, windows, HVAC, flooring, remodeled bathrooms, and new siding. A private well services the home, one of the few in the area, which has never run low. An additional homesite is already established with its own driveway, septic system, and water, offering an excellent opportunity for future family use, a guest home, or additional living space. Outdoor improvements include an oversized detached two-car garage with a porch and two barns with power, providing more than 3,000 square feet of combined storage and workspace. Deer and turkey are regularly seen throughout the farm, making this a great hunting and recreational property. A pond site has already been constructed and could potentially be completed with some additional dozer and packing work. Properties offering this combination of a well-maintained home, acreage, hunting, and privacy are hard to find.
