About This Home

Privately situated less than five miles from Hocking Hills State Park, this exceptional timber-frame lodge offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, scale, privacy, and long-term flexibility in one of Ohio's most established destination regions. Framed by master Amish craftsmen and completed in 2023, the approximately 13,800+ SF lodge features soaring ceilings, substantial white oak beams, SIP wall panels, a 50-year steel roof, and WarmBoard radiant heat throughout. A dramatic two-sided stone fireplace anchors the main gathering space, with three finished levels of living area opening to extensive wraparound decking, stone terracing, and two ceremony decks overlooking a private 3/4-acre stocked lake. The layout includes four primary en-suite bedrooms and four apartment-style suites, each with a full kitchen and two bathrooms, providing uncommon separation, privacy, and adaptability for multigenerational living, hosted use, or short-term rental operations. The owner's suite features a private deck and distinctive oak timber detailing throughout. Set on approximately 70+/- wooded acres with a newly cut trail system and a private 1/3-mile approach lane, the property borders Ohio State Forest on one side and 160+ acres of contiguous private ownership on a second boundary, creating a lasting sense of seclusion and uninterrupted natural views. Additional acreage within the owner's broader landholding may be available to the right buyer. 55 minutes from Columbus. A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial timber-frame property with significant land position in the heart of Hocking Hills.
