The Whitewater River in this stretch of Franklin County is a well-regarded recreational waterway, known for fishing opportunities and the scenic character of the surrounding landscape. Approximately 10 acres of the total lie across the river and are accessible on foot during typical late-summer and fall conditions, when water levels are lower, and the river runs shallow. This cross-river acreage adds wooded hunting and recreational ground to the overall property. Wildlife activity along the river corridor is consistent, with deer and other species regularly utilizing the riparian habitat along the banks. Buyers should be aware that a portion of the property falls within the floodplain. There is an approximately 1-acre area near Ott Road that appears to be outside the flood-prone area and may be suitable for a future home or structure, subject to applicable Franklin County zoning, permitting, and floodplain regulations. Buyers are strongly encouraged to conduct independent due diligence regarding flood zone status, build-ability, well and septic feasibility, and any other applicable regulatory requirements.
