Real Estate: As iconic as a county courthouse, the Cannon farm known as “South Hill” has been engrained in the memories of anyone who has had the pleasure of stopping in and even most that have just traveled past.  Whether it be the rolling cropland, grazing cattle in the pastures, the beautiful homestead, or the condition of the buildings, the Cannon farm leaves a lasting impression much like that of its owners.   

Situated on the north side of Columbus Road is approximately 30 acres with the home, buildings, and fenced pasture.  The story and a half home boasts impeccable historic charm yet offers the convenience of today’s modern amenities.  The main level of the home houses the large cherry kitchen with granite countertops, a breakfast nook, half bath, formal dining room, and a cozy sitting room.   Rain and snow filled days will become a treat when you cozy up to the fireplace in the family room that was added to the home not long ago.  Exposed beams and hardwood floors complement the existing home that features crown molding, chair railing, and character seldom duplicated.  The open staircase leads to the second level where you find 3 bedrooms, a full bath, and the same engaging elegance.  The basement offers additional living space, as well as an exterior entrance and the convenience of a shower and wash area to contain your chore debris.  Central air, standing seam roof, the list of attributes this home offers is endless, but the most impressive is the care and condition as well as the great views of the farm from nearly every window.  Outside the home you will find as much enjoyment either relaxing on the porch or in the backyard courtyard looking over an evening fire.   

What completes and makes this homestead extremely special is a set of buildings with a multitude of uses.  For many years, the farm was used as a tie stall dairy and then later converted to beef cattle.  The buildings include a good bank barn with loafing shed, a 36’x140’ pole barn complete with headlocks and a good ventilation system, stave silo, and several other buildings and additions conducive to livestock.  One of the many things Fred was known for was constructing and repairing barns.  Just a few years ago Fred dismantled and reassemble the Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Horse Stable using it now as a detached garage with a loft that could also be ideal for entertaining.  The buildings have been well maintained and are ready for you to add your herd. 

To the south of Columbus Road lies over 100 acres of rolling cropland and woods.  Approximately 68 acres are currently tillable with a good history of row crops and forage.  The remaining acreage is wooded with walnut trees and a good assortment of hardwoods.  Believing in the importance of preserving our agricultural heritage, the Cannon’s enlisted the farm in an Agriculture Conservation Permanent Easement.  Therefore, we will sell the farm in its entirety allowing the new owner to continue on with this Wayne County treasure.  If you have long dreamed of settling on the perfect country property, this farm is calling your name. 

Open House: The home and buildings will be open for inspection on Tuesday September 29th from 5-6 PM.  Private showings are available by appointment only with Andy White 419-651-2152 or Mary Hartley 419-651-3586.  You may pick up a brochure in the info box on the property and walk the land at your leisure.
