Tract 1 of 1

Description

Tract 1 Description:

Located in Windsor, Ohio, this 180-acre tract in Ashtabula County combines agricultural land, recreational resources, and established improvements. The property includes a three-bedroom, one-bathroom ranch home that can serve as a residence or farm headquarters. Several outbuildings complement the home, including a 54x88-foot Morton building, a three-sided cold storage shed, and an older dairy barn. These structures provide storage, utility, and historical character to the farmstead.

Approximately 72 acres of the land are tillable, suitable for crop production, hay, or rotational farming practices. The balance of the acreage includes mature timber, ravines, and open ground. The wooded areas feature valuable timber and contribute to the property's recreational and wildlife habitat value. The terrain includes rolling hills, wooded ravines, and creek bottoms that create natural variety across the acreage.

A small pond with a pavilion offers additional recreational and wildlife benefits, while the creek system enhances the natural setting. Together, these features make the property attractive for hunting and outdoor use. Deer habitat is well established, supported by a mix of food sources, cover, and water. The transitions between tillable ground and wooded areas create ideal conditions for consistent wildlife movement.

The property is subject to a Western Reserve Land Conservancy Easement. This conservation easement helps protect the land’s natural and agricultural resources while allowing continued farming, recreational use, and management under the easement terms. Interested buyers are encouraged to review the easement documents to understand the permitted uses, building restrictions, and long-term conservation commitments associated with ownership.

The property's infrastructure supports multiple uses. The Morton building provides substantial enclosed storage, while the dairy barn and cold storage shed offer functional space for equipment, livestock, or repurposed use. The ranch-style home ensures an on-site living arrangement or could serve as a hunting cabin, depending on the buyer’s goals and compliance with the easement.

The property is located near several northeast Ohio communities. Windsor provides a rural setting, while Jefferson is approximately 12 miles away, Ashtabula is about 22 miles, Geneva is 20 miles, and Cleveland is roughly 55 miles to the west. This location allows access to services, supplies, and market outlets while retaining the seclusion of a large acreage tract.

This tract represents a significant holding in Ashtabula County for those seeking a property that blends agricultural production, timber, recreation, and conservation. With a mix of tillable ground, timber, water features, and existing improvements, it provides immediate functionality and long-term land use options. The conservation easement ensures that the land remains protected and managed sustainably for generations.
