Privately situated less than five miles from Hocking Hills State Park, this extraordinary Amish-framed timber lodge was never designed for a single family -- it was built for something larger. Completed in 2023 on 60+/- acres of mature timberland, the 13,800 SF structure rises with the permanence of something meant to last. White oak beams, poplar-lined ceilings, quarter-sawn doors, maple cabinetry, hand-cut stone, WarmBoard radiant heat throughout, a 50-year steel roof -- the craftsmanship is the foundation of the investment.
A dramatic two-sided stone fireplace anchors the main gathering space beneath 32-foot cathedral ceilings. Three finished levels open to decking, stone terracing, and two ceremony decks overlooking a private 3/4-acre stocked lake. The layout is purpose-built for scale and separation -- four primary en-suite bedrooms, four apartment-style suites.
Active as a short-term rental and event venue since late 2023.
Set on 60+/- acres of mature timberland with a newly cut trail system and a private 1/3-mile lane, the property borders Ohio State Forest on one side -- for natural seclusion. The site supports additional outdoor hospitality units with privacy & spacing. Parking for 40+ and 6-bay garage are already in place. Additional acreage within the broader landholding may be available to the right buyer. 55 minutes from Columbus.
This is not a house that happens to generate income. It is a hospitality asset with exceptional bones, in one of Ohio's most sought-after destinations.
