Property Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Knox County's truly iconic country properties. Set on approximately 57 beautiful acres, this exceptional farm offers a stunning blend of productive farmland, rolling pasture, hay fields, mature woods, and a winding creek--creating the kind of setting buyers dream about. Tucked privately down a long lane, the classic farmhouse offers approximately 1,600 square feet with 5-6 bedrooms, 1 full bath, propane heat. Full of rustic charm and surrounded by breathtaking countryside, the home provides a comfortable base for farm life, weekend escapes, or future vision. The multitude of outbuildings tell the story of this property's agricultural roots while offering incredible utility for today's buyer. Improvements include a large red dairy barn, two-story workshop, poultry house, and multiple additional barns and storage buildings, making this an ideal setup for livestock, equipment, hobby farming, equestrian use, or workshop space. A truly special feature is the original log cabin, a rare nod to the property's early history that offers endless potential for restoration, creative use, or simply preserving a remarkable piece of Knox County heritage. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the peaceful creek, wooded areas, abundant wildlife, and a secluded camping area tucked among the trees--perfect for quiet evenings under the stars. Conveniently located with commercially zoned frontage on US-36 and frontage on Thayer Road, this property enjoys a highly desirable setting near the Knox County Horse Park, Thayer Ridge Park, and the Heart of Ohio Trail, offering quick access to horseback riding, biking, hiking, and outdoor recreation. Whether your vision is a working farm, horse property, recreational retreat, homestead, or private country escape, properties like this rarely come available. The Black Family Farm is a place where history, natural beauty, and opportunity come together.
