About this home
One of the most picturesque and admired farms in Knox County, The Black Family Farm offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a productive and scenic country property. Spanning approximately 57 acres, this farm combines rich tillable ground, hay fields, pastureland, wooded areas, and a meandering creek—creating a landscape that is both versatile and beautiful.
A long, private lane leads to the original 4-bedroom, 1-bath, 1.5-story farmhouse totaling approximately 1,625 sq. ft. The home offers propane heat and central air, blending traditional farmhouse character with everyday comfort. Surrounding the residence are a variety of historic and functional outbuildings, including a 50-foot Poultry House, Two-Story Shop, Large Red Dairy Barn, and multiple smaller barns and sheds—providing excellent space for equipment, livestock, or hobbies.
Adding to the charm, the property includes the original log cabin, a rare historic feature awaiting restoration or creative reuse. A peaceful camping area tucked among the trees offers a quiet place to relax and enjoy the property's natural beauty. The Heart of Ohio Bike Trail runs parallel to the farm, providing easy access for walking, biking, or riding while connecting to scenic routes across the region.
Ideally situated with frontage on both US-36 and Thayer Road, the farm is also within walking distance of the Knox County Horse Park and just down the road from Thayer Ridge Park—a 70-acre county wildlife area featuring wet woodlands, native habitat, and abundant wildlife. This location offers the perfect balance of privacy, recreation, and convenience. Whether you're seeking a working farm, equestrian property, or private country retreat, The Black Family Farm captures the timeless beauty and rural heritage of Knox County living....
