123.3 Acres – 2 Homes – Pond – Tillable – Woods – Building Lots – 6 Parcels

The auction will be held on location at 601 Township Road 101, West Salem.  From State Route 42 just southwest of West Salem, take Wiley Road to Twp Rd 101 or from State Route 89, take County Road 620 east to 101.  Watch for RES signs.

REAL ESTATE: Woods, pasture, tillable land, homes, pond, and opportunities are just a few of the attributes of this farm.  With a total of 123.3 acres being offered in 6 parcels, allowing you the ability to purchase just what you desire.  The desirable character this land presents starts with the Muddy Fork River traversing the property creating fertile tillable bottom ground and the ideal landscape to hold the illusive whitetails.  The farm then rolls into wooded hillside on the east and additional tillable land to the west.  Bring your ideas of what your future looks like and this farm will provide the canvas to make those dreams into reality. 

The farm will be offered in 6 parcels as well as in combination, selling to the highest bidder regardless of price.

Parcel 1: Building Lot and playground rolled into one.  This 12-acre parcel includes approximately 7 acres of open tillable land with the remainder wooded ravine.  The setting is great with multiple sites to construct your home and buildings overlooking the pond.

Parcel 2: 5 acres with a ranch home and a great pond.  Add your carpet, paint, and desired cosmetic updates to the home but buy with the peace of mind that the upgrades provide.  Geothermal heating, central air, a metal roof, and access to Rural Lorain water. The home offers a good layout with 2 bedrooms and a full bath on one end of the home with the master bedroom and bath on the opposite end separated by the living room, kitchen, and dining room.  Additional amenities include first floor laundry, attached 2 car garage, and a full basement where additional living space could be finished.  With a secluded setting overlooking the nearly 2 acre stocked pond, the only downside to this piece is getting your friends and family to leave. The home currently has Rural Lorain water from the tap on parcel 5.  The new owner will have 4 months to provide their own water source. 

Parcel 3: 56 acres nearly entirely tillable.  The Muddy Fork and a tree line separate this parcel into 3 fields.  Add this to your existing operation or start fresh and build your own farm. 

Parcel 4: A 2.3 acre building lot on the corner of Township Road 101 and County Road 620.  Water and utilities at the road offer a convenient manageable building location. 

Parcel 5: 20 acres with the original two-story farmhouse.  The character the home offers is hard to duplicate.  The home has been used as a rental for several years and is ready to be brought back to life.  With 4 bedrooms, a full bath, large rooms, and tall ceilings, turning this into your family home will be a lot of fun.  The 20 acres with this parcel is wooded pasture land bordering the Muddy Fork.  An old barn is ready to be razed for your new buildings to house your big boy toys.  Add your livestock and a tree stand creating the ideal country life. 

Parcel 6: 28 acres of woods with 500 feet of frontage on Township Road 580.  Affordable hunting and recreation opportunities abound with this parcel.

Open House: The homes will be open for inspection on Thursday, November 14^th 4-5:30PM. For a private showing, call Andy White at 419-651-2152.  You may pick up a brochure in the info box on the property and walk the land at your leisure.
