This log home sits quietly at the end of a neighborhood road, wrapped in 44.79 acres of rolling Ohio hills that feel like they’ve been waiting for someone to claim them. Built in 1980, the 1,336-square-foot cabin has two bedrooms and a simple layout that’s seen some fresh updates—like better windows and fixtures—but it’s the kind of place that invites a bit of your own touch, whether that’s patching floors or adding a stone hearth. Step outside, and the real draw unfolds: nearly 900 feet of frontage along Symmes Creek, where the water runs clear enough for a morning dip or casting a line for bass. The terrain dips and rises gently, dotted with thick brush from a recent timber harvest that now shelters deer trails and turkey roosts. I’ve walked properties like this for years, and it’s the sort of spot where you hear the rustle of leaves more than traffic, with reopened paths snaking through the woods for easy hikes or ATV runs.
Picture starting your day with coffee on the porch, watching mist lift off the creek, or turning evenings into quiet hunts as the sun dips behind the ridges. It’s got that unhurried rhythm—close enough to pick up groceries in 10 minutes, but far enough to unplug. Families might see it as a base for weekend escapes, while someone eyeing a slower pace could make it a full-time haven. The land’s versatile too: room for a garden plot, more trails, or just letting the wild take over.
Price $170,000.
