Single Story Rural Home Surrounded By Wildlife Habitat
505 Espyville Rd., Lot# WP001 Marion, OH 43341
Description
Situated adjacent to the 5,872-acre Big Island wildlife area and 20 miles South of Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area, this parcel is completely surrounded by wildlife, upland, and waterfowl habitat. Seasonal migrations of shorebirds and waterfowl frequent this region and the parcel. This turn-key residence is quietly located in the historic grassland prairie region of the Scioto River Watershed. Containing a mixture of grassland, brush and various tree species of differing age classes, there is abundant wildlife habitat within this parcel providing excellent opportunities to enjoy viewing waterfowl, deer and small game species. Mid-successional habitat provides a great mixture of forbs and early age class hardwood regeneration for deer browse and ample habitat for small game and migrating waterfowl. The addition of a pond will potentially provide a water source for wildlife and attract various waterfowl species from the region. Mature Hardwood tree species (Northern Red Oak, Swamp White Oak, Hickory, etc.) border the property boundaries with established trails within the parcel.
