Tucked into the heart of some of the Shawnee National Forest's most beautiful surroundings and just minutes from the Little Grand Canyon, Hickory Ridge is more than a property - it's a destination. From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to slow down, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Existing improvements include multiple cabins, RV hookups, bathroom facilities, a pole barn, carport, and decks, creating a versatile setup for personal use, guests, or continued recreational use. Trails wind through the property, with creeks, waterfalls, rock formations, a small cave, historic rock writings, and abundant wildlife providing something new to discover around every turn. For the outdoor enthusiast, the property offers access to rock-crawling trails and exceptional hunting opportunities, with deer stands and a deer-processing area already in place. Spend the day exploring the trails, riding the rocks, fishing or enjoying the waterfalls, then finish the evening around the fire as the sounds of nature take over. Whether your vision is a private outdoor retreat, family adventure property, hunting destination, campground, or recreational investment, Hickory Ridge offers the space, setting, and existing infrastructure to make that vision a reality.
