Own a remarkable piece of Vinton County history in the Hocking Hills area. The Shurtz Family Farm offers a rare opportunity to enjoy historic character, modern updates, and 12.5 peaceful acres in one of southeastern Ohio's most sought after regions. Thoughtfully restored, this late 19th century sandstone home offers 2,025 SF, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, blending timeless character with comfortable everyday living. Beyond the home, the property invites you to imagine the possibilities. A garden leads to a beautifully decorated detached family room, connected to the farm's original corn crib, now transformed into a screened sitting area with rocking chairs-an unforgettable place for quiet mornings and peaceful evenings. The insulated one car detached garage offers potential for a workshop, studio, hobby space or a buyer's own vision. A charming potting shed, open fields and rolling countryside add to the property's sense of space and tranquility. Near the water, a peaceful pond with a private dock creates another destination to enjoy. An unfinished cabin overlooking the pond, complete with electric and water hookups, offers exciting potential as additional living space, a guest retreat, creative space or something entirely your own. Adding to the property's remarkable history is a rare 2 story octagonal barn built in 1885, complete with electricity and ready for its next chapter. Water source is spring fed cistern. Thoughtful improvements, including a new Standing Seam Metal Roof and new insulated windows. Updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, provide modern functionality while preserving the property's historic appeal. This exceptional property offers proximity to renowned natural beauty and outdoor recreation while feeling like a peaceful retreat all its own. Whether envisioned as a full time residence, weekend escape, family gathering place, hobby farm, or creative retreat, the possibilities are as distinctive as the property itself. Sold fully furnished.
