Property for a Lifetime. Nearly 52 Acres of Pristine Ohio Woodland. Tucked just north of downtown Mount Gilead & South of Candlewood Lake, this breathtaking 52-acre parcel offers a rare combination of unspoiled natural beauty and investor-ready infrastructure. Ancient old-growth hardwood forest, spring-fed streams, dramatic ravines, and sweeping views that evoke the majesty of the Appalachian Mountains -- all within easy reach of Central Ohio's major markets. The pristine woodland, peaceful, private atmosphere are virtually impossible to find at this scale and proximity to urban conveniences. The groundwork is done. Road base and drainage infrastructure are already in place. The land had been pre-platted for 16 estate and retreat-style lots -- platted but not recorded, giving the new owner the flexibility to finalize and record to their specifications or adjust the plan to suit their unique vision. **Current platting requirements may vary. *** Please conduct own due diligence. The possibilities are as expansive as the land itself: 🌲 A private personal sanctuary -- your own 52-acre escape from the world 🏡 A family compound or generational retreat -- shared land, lasting legacy 🎉 An event venue or glamping destination -- nature-based experiences are in high demand 🏘️ An executive retreat community or estate housing development. Whether you are an individual seeking peace and privacy, a family looking to put down deep roots, an entrepreneur with an eye for experiential hospitality, or a developer ready to bring something truly special to market -- this property meets you where you are. Centrally located with exceptional access: Columbus • Marion • Marysville • Mount Vernon -- all within comfortable driving distance. The potential is limitless. New photos and ground level drone tour to be added. ***Do not walk the property without an agent present. *** Security cameras present thru out.
