Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome to the Big Outdoors News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati,
home of the best Bengals coverage, Chip Hart, and my
guest this morning is Jeff Dickey. Jeff Dickey real Estate
out of Hillsboro, Ohio, And with all of you people
heading to the woods, maybe to do a little duck
hunting on your duck pond, whatever the case may be.
(00:24):
You may be on private land, public land, maybe you're
on a land lease, maybe you're a guest. But you know, inevitably,
if you're interested in purchasing land or a farm for
recreation or hunting or livestock, I got the guy for you.
He's out of Hillsboro and I met Jeff. I want
(00:46):
to say about twenty five thirty years ago. I had
a piece of property. It was about sixty acres and
I needed to sell it. It was basically one big
hillside that was forty five degrees and I said, you know,
this looked like a good idea going in, but hell,
I couldn't even run a four wheeler up. So I
got with Jeff, and Jeff sold my property and with
(01:08):
a nice return on my investment, and you know, the
buyer was happier than heck. But I thought we'd kind
of get into buying hunting land, or maybe you're interested
on a farm, maybe you've got some to sell. So
I brought Jeff in because he's been a farmer all
his life, grew up outside of Belfast, Ohio, was on
a dairy farm with his family, and then lo and behold,
(01:30):
he's farming now cattle. Hey, Jeff, welcome to the big outdoors.
Great to have you.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Thank you, Chip, it's an honor to be on your show.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, listen, I'll tell you what And then you know,
we didn't see each other in over twenty years, and
I ran into you at an auction a real estate
actually it was an auction of the property of excuse me,
implements some things like that on a farm that had sold.
And said, hey, Jeff, what do you been turned You
look the same as you did twenty five years ago,
And you know, I get to think, and I said,
(02:00):
we need to do something like this. So here here
we are today, you know, in terms of so we'll
just tell people what you specialize.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
In, Chip, I specialize in rural acreage country properties, and
I live among my clients my real estate office is
actually located at my farm I one hundred and thirty
seven acres in southern Highland County, about a mile from
the Adams County line, and we specialize in just a lifestyle.
(02:31):
It just those who want to experience the country for
all kinds of reasons, whether you're a white tail hunter,
whether you're a kind of a home stetter, kind of
looking to live the self sustaining life. You want to
raise a garden, you want to raise fruits and vegetables,
you want to raise your own beef, cattle and have
your own beef, your own chickens, and that thing and
(02:52):
four h projects. And then then I've got the preppers
that think the world's about to come to an end.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
They're out here wanting to live.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Off the grid and do all kinds of you know,
I could probably take you to eight or ten properties
where they're underground concrete bunkers where they can they can
get away if the world comes to an end. They've
got a place to run to. And then I got
the white tail hunters. This time of year, stay super
busy with the white tail guys that are coming in
(03:19):
from In the last few years, Chip, I've sold real
estate to deer hunters from nine different states, coming in
from everywhere. We're featured in almost every white Tail publication
out there, the whole the genetics of southern Ohio. And
so it's just got these guys coming in from everywhere.
And then the farmers, the production agriculture, corn, soybeansweat. That
(03:40):
kind of thing is basically who we is my fi intel.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Well, do you do you focus on some specific counties
in particular, Not that that would keep you from going
way out range, but are there are those are those
that you're particularly you know, focused on.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Uh, Highland County and Adams County all the way to
the river. UH, eastern Brown County, uh all the way
to the river, and then Pike side of kind of
the western part of Ross County, kind of Bainbridge area,
and it even going north even into Clinton and Counties.
There's some excellent deer hunting up that way too.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
That really nobody knows about.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, well, when you look go on some of those
Facebook pages, some of them have got to take with
a grain of salt, what uh you know, in terms
of what what what people are looking for for right now?
Like take for instance, uh raw land with no buildings uh,
or or something with facilities, you know, with you know,
(04:43):
maybe maybe a small house on it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Or you know maybe a farm that's you know, been
not well, hasn't been farmed for a while.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
What Uh, you know what what's happening out there?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Well?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Uh, since COVID, the world has changed greatly. There's there
is a demand for rural real estate of all kinds.
The farm where me and you met is there a
few weeks ago there at that auction that was basically
fifty acres with an old farmhouse, old set of barns
on it, basically set up for livestock, had some fence
(05:18):
that had to develop, spring water supply that was gonna
fell for three seventy five. But the facilities were rough
on the property and so.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But vacant land. It depends on the a crew. Let me.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I hate the I asked the question, I shouldn't have
so close to a break. So if you could hold
that thought, Jeff, we gotta pay some bills. So Jeff
Dicky is my guest, Jeff Jeff Dicky real Estate on
the Big Outdoors News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. Back
in the moment, you know, seven hundred WLW Cincinnati, Chippard.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
My guest is Jeff Dickey.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Jeff Dicky real estate out in Highland County, and Jeff,
welcome back. You know what, I was always looking for
your place in town in Hillsboro. You know, every time
I'm there and I'm thinking, where the hell is he
actually at here? You're you're working out of your farm? Okay,
what better? What better way to do it?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Man? I couldn't you know?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I live among my clients, Chip, I literally live. I
built an office on my farm one hundred and thirty
seven acres and in southern Highland County near the Adams
County line, and we operate from here. We actually did
this as an experiment to see if the public.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Even cared where I was located.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
And I found out that people liked it even.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Better than I was just out here among them.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So you know, they don't come back and bitch. Atches
what you're saying? Okay, they love you still.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
With the way technology is nowadays, I could sell real
estate from the moon.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
There you go, Well, you're probably right.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So okay, we were talking, we were getting on to what,
you know, what's kind of happening out there, and you
were about getting ready to talk about vacant land.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
They get land chip.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It depends on the size of the acreage, the smaller
acreage tracks. When I say small, I'm talking if you're
wanting just to buy twenty thirty acres, maybe build a
house on it.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Place. The deer Hunt Camp recreates that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I mean, some of these tracks are getting up you know, seven, eight, nine,
ten thousand dollars an acre or so. Again, it's really
drastically increased, and s's COVID and larger farms. I mean,
if I get up a couple hundred acres or so,
on average seventy five hundred an acre, we'll catch the
average farm depending on how it set up amenities and
(07:37):
those kind of things. And so it's just kind of
all over the place.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It kind of just depends on what you've got to sell.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, and you know, for instance, the broad Land, say
you know you've got nothing, there's nothing there.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's rugged.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I mean no, you know, hard to get in, too
hard to get out of if you got into it.
You know, utility that can bring a lesser amount I
would imagine. I mean, there's but there's so many things
that play you know, play a role in it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I mean, I mean deer hunting land. I mean just
depending on how how vertical it is. As you mentioned,
your property down on Purdue Hollow Road was straight up
and straight down.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I mean it can, it can vary.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I'm still selling deer hunting land for four or five
thousand dollars an acre in that range depends on what
it has to offer. And I did sell a property.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Down on the Ohio River.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
It only brought twenty five hundred an acre, but it
was literally straight up, straight down thirty acres and you
had to climb all the way to the top of
it on all fours, both hands, both feet to get
to the top.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And if you're a fat deer hunter, you just roll
back down.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
You just looked at it and said, no way, I'm
getting out of here.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So when you know, when you're somebody's looking at property,
let's just let's kind of just stick with the hunting
theme for the for the I'm being I mean, you know,
having some buildings on the property, can can I guess
add to the to the to the to the value
at least some people think it can or add to
(09:14):
the price per acre.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Most people want uh, some utilities, They want electricity, they
like to have some water. And if it's kind of
driveway already cut into it and and uh, you know
those are those are factors. I mean, if I'm selling
you something that just has you know, no utilities, no,
you know, maybe an old easement access to it, then
you know that greatly affects value because nowadays people have
(09:42):
kids and grandkids and they want to bring people out
and they want to ride their.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Side besides and that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And so, you know, some utilities, then maybe a structure,
a barn or a little barn domnium or a you know,
small little cottage or cabin or something like that is
always a bonus to most to most families.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Well and okay, hey, let's just take uh now we're
gonna come up on a break here shortly, but let's
just take you. You've got a listing with with somebody
that is selling property suitable for hunting.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
How do you coach them or you know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean I'm sure you you make recommendations on things
that they can do to bring more value.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yes, we do. Actually, trail networks is a huge positive.
People like to ride, especially if you're a little bit older,
maybe you've got some health problems.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, it's kind of nice to have something to ride
aside to side on.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
So trails are a huge plus, you tell these as
we shared with a huge plus. Water is enormous among
city people. City people love water, and so I tell
people put a pond a leg on the property.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, well I couldn't. Definitely, there's nothing like having your
own private pond. Jeff, you hold that thought. We're gonna
take a short break. We'll be back with more. Jeff Dickey,
Jeff Dickey real Estate, The Big Outdoors News Radio seven
hundred w l W Cincinnati, home.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
With the best Bengals coverage at w l.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
W Cincinnati Chip Park. My guest is Jeff Dickey, Jeff
Dickey real Estate. He's out in Highland County. And if
you're if you're in search of property, uh, this guy
he's you know, lived in the lived in that neck
of the woods all his life and and let's face it,
he's a farmer, okay, and he likes his neighbors that
(11:33):
he'd sold the property to and they like him.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So I mean that's a that's a huge plus.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You know. So, as you know, as we were kind
of talking off air, I mean you mentioned Rocky Fork
Lake and property on that lake, which is a beautiful lake.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
That is a beautiful lake, state park lake, and it's
one of the best kept secrets in southern Ohio. And
I'm I'm the top realtor in that area also and
selling properties book on and off the water at Rocky Fork.
It's it's a it's a really cool lake. It's about
forty feet deep in some spots. You're one of the
best state camp grounds in the state of Ohio for
(12:12):
you know, for.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The camping is there.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
It's only an hour from Cincinnati, Dayton an hour and
fifteen twenty from Columbus, and we're having more and more
people discover this lake because we've changed a lot of
policies in the last few years. You're now allowed to
put put your own dock on the lake and do
some things like that, and it's it's attracting a lot
of people to rock Rocky Fork. And I'm having people
(12:34):
even sell their properties in Cumberland Lake, North Kalehillo, places
like that because it's five six hours down there. Now
you can drive out the Rocky Fork on a Friday night,
go back to the kid's soccer game on Saturday, back
to the lake on you know that night, and you
can get the best of both worlds and don't miss
your kids sporting events and enjoy the weekend at the lake.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Well, yes, it is a beautiful lake.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And it's like it I now somehow, you know, it's
like Canhead and Heyday, maybe thirty years ago and then
you know, people kind of just forgot about it because
you know they were going to come like in Dale
Hollow and places like that, and it is. It is
a beautiful lake. You know, you got Paint Creek Lake. However,
you don't have any development around that like you do
at Rocky Fork.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Well, the nice thing about Paint Creek Lake. I don't
know if you remember Chip the last Ohio Outdoor News
here in October featured Paint Creek Lake is on the
back page. The nice thing about Paint Creek Lake is
it's known for its fishing and crappee fishing, cat fishing.
And these two state lakes are only ten minutes apart,
so you can be on Rocky Fork Lake in the
(13:40):
morning and Paint Creek in the afternoon and evening and
back and Forth literally just minutes apart.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well, And what was always intriguing to me about Paint
Creek is, you know from the tail waters all the
way to Chilli Coffee, I mean you have a lot
of great fishing. You know that that creek maintains a
pretty healthy amount of water in it, and you know,
contrary to some of you know, Brush Creek and some
of the others. So uh, you know, I mean there's
(14:07):
a lot that's that's a lot of land between Paint
Creek and Chill of Coffee as well.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
It is it is and uh you know if people
are doing all kinds of water sports, then you'll see
kayaking and just all kinds of things and fishing up
and down that creek. And so yeah, it's a it's
an excellent area. And between the two state lakes just
minutes apart. I mean, there's just a if you're an outdoorsman,
there's there there's there's things to do in that area.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, I know, we could get into farming and you
know all of those other things. If you're interested in
like a farm for hobby farming. That market's got to
be going crazy too, it is.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Uh tillable land prices are are outrageous right now.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I mean yeah, I mean we can.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He can be ten thousand dollars an acre or so,
depending on what it is and where it's at, and
even higher if there's a competing people wanting it and so.
Uh but uh, you know, uh, it's it's it's it's
just an opportunity there. If you want to invest money
in sillible land, you can.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You know, we we do it.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
I mean I've sold to production agriculture farms just here
in the last few weeks.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
And uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Basically farms that you would use to raise corn, soybeans
and wheat on and and so. But this time of year, uh,
primarily phones, you know, the phone start ringing for the.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Deer hunting type property.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, I bet is there a downtime at all?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Uh, deer hunting in the summertime and it just gets
really hot and muggy, and it's a nine degrees humid
out there. You know, nobody wants to be in the
woods and full of picks and everything else, and so
it seems cool but cool down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, everybody wants to go to the wood.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Well, I know, you know, you have the exodus from
Hamilton County and these metropolitan areas Columbus probably the same thing,
and they're all heading down to that part of Ohio.
So how best can people get a hold of Jeff Dicky.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Best way to get hold of me is, uh my
phone number nine three seven three nine three seven two
two two's the office phone number and the actual We
have a website. It's called the Nicky Group, okay, so
or in Facebook also so yep, that that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, Well, these days we will find you okay, Well, hey, Jeff,
good heaven, and we'll check back in the spring and
see how things are going.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
If you're willing to spend.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
The time, I would be honored to be your Jeff.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
All right with that, Jeff, I'll run into you down
the road and appreciate your time this morning. Jeff Dicky,

Back in the moment Idio seven hundred W LW.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Hey back the Big Outdoors News Radio, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. Gary,
Jeff is coming up at the bottom of the hour,
and Gary, I'm sorry I didn't mention you early in
my program, but I had stuff to do and cover, okay,
and I'll.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I know he probably will, probably will. I didn't get
my promile, you know anyway, name that's right. I know,
well you Danny, you take care of it, you know him? Okay, anyway,
we have a new record stripe bass and this is
a striper, the real deal, not the hybrid. Came in
(17:35):
at thirty seven point three seven five pounds here in Ohio,
caught by George Brugman of New Carlisle at Kaiser Lake.
I've heard of the lake, but I did not know
that it was going to handle a horse like that.
So congratulations to him. And of course that was approved
by the Visual Wildlife and the Ohio Outdoor Writers of
(17:57):
Ohio State Record Fish Committee.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
So awesome. That's cool.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Now, if you're active duty military, there are discounts available
for overnight stays.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Through the ODNR.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Military gets about thirty off camping reservations, getaway rentals, and
state cabins at state parks and resorts.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So you got to look into that.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And that goes through November thirtieth and last, but not lease.
According to the Cowboys State Daily, grizzly bite off bit
off a hunter's boot in a Wild Wyoming showdown, And uh,
it was actually a Wyoming woman that was out elk
cunning your coady and bit through the rubber boot, pulling
(18:43):
it off her foot, and I guess a tangle ensued
and apparently she could really handle herself, probably beat that
son of a gun over the head with a rifle
or something, and so well.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
She's doing fine.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
The boot sucks, but the rest of it's fine. I'm
out of here, Gary Jeffers. Next, the Big Outdoors.

(05:18):
that had to develop, spring water supply that was gonna
fell for three seventy five. But the facilities were rough
on the property and so.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But vacant land. It depends on the a crew. Let me.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I hate the I asked the question, I shouldn't have
so close to a break. So if you could hold
that thought, Jeff, we gotta pay some bills. So Jeff
Dicky is my guest, Jeff Jeff Dicky real Estate on
the Big Outdoors News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. Back
in the moment, you know, seven hundred WLW Cincinnati, Chippard.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
My guest is Jeff Dickey.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Jeff Dicky real estate out in Highland County, and Jeff,
welcome back. You know what, I was always looking for
your place in town in Hillsboro. You know, every time
I'm there and I'm thinking, where the hell is he
actually at here? You're you're working out of your farm? Okay,
what better? What better way to do it?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Man? I couldn't you know?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I live among my clients, Chip, I literally live. I
built an office on my farm one hundred and thirty
seven acres and in southern Highland County near the Adams
County line, and we operate from here. We actually did
this as an experiment to see if the public.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Even cared where I was located.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
And I found out that people liked it even.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Better than I was just out here among them.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So you know, they don't come back and bitch. Atches
what you're saying? Okay, they love you still.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
With the way technology is nowadays, I could sell real
estate from the moon.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
There you go, Well, you're probably right.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So okay, we were talking, we were getting on to what,
you know, what's kind of happening out there, and you
were about getting ready to talk about vacant land.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
They get land chip.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It depends on the size of the acreage, the smaller
acreage tracks. When I say small, I'm talking if you're
wanting just to buy twenty thirty acres, maybe build a
house on it.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Place. The deer Hunt Camp recreates that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I mean, some of these tracks are getting up you know, seven, eight, nine,
ten thousand dollars an acre or so. Again, it's really
drastically increased, and s's COVID and larger farms. I mean,
if I get up a couple hundred acres or so,
on average seventy five hundred an acre, we'll catch the
average farm depending on how it set up amenities and
(07:37):
those kind of things. And so it's just kind of
all over the place.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It kind of just depends on what you've got to sell.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, and you know, for instance, the broad Land, say
you know you've got nothing, there's nothing there.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's rugged.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I mean no, you know, hard to get in, too
hard to get out of if you got into it.
You know, utility that can bring a lesser amount I
would imagine. I mean, there's but there's so many things
that play you know, play a role in it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I mean, I mean deer hunting land. I mean just
depending on how how vertical it is. As you mentioned,
your property down on Purdue Hollow Road was straight up
and straight down.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I mean it can, it can vary.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
I'm still selling deer hunting land for four or five
thousand dollars an acre in that range depends on what
it has to offer. And I did sell a property.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Down on the Ohio River.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
It only brought twenty five hundred an acre, but it
was literally straight up, straight down thirty acres and you
had to climb all the way to the top of
it on all fours, both hands, both feet to get
to the top.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And if you're a fat deer hunter, you just roll
back down.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
You just looked at it and said, no way, I'm
getting out of here.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So when you know, when you're somebody's looking at property,
let's just let's kind of just stick with the hunting
theme for the for the I'm being I mean, you know,
having some buildings on the property, can can I guess
add to the to the to the to the value
at least some people think it can or add to
(09:14):
the price per acre.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Most people want uh, some utilities, They want electricity, they
like to have some water. And if it's kind of
driveway already cut into it and and uh, you know
those are those are factors. I mean, if I'm selling
you something that just has you know, no utilities, no,
you know, maybe an old easement access to it, then
you know that greatly affects value because nowadays people have
(09:42):
kids and grandkids and they want to bring people out
and they want to ride their.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Side besides and that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And so, you know, some utilities, then maybe a structure,
a barn or a little barn domnium or a you know,
small little cottage or cabin or something like that is
always a bonus to most to most families.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Well and okay, hey, let's just take uh now we're
gonna come up on a break here shortly, but let's
just take you. You've got a listing with with somebody
that is selling property suitable for hunting.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
How do you coach them or you know.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I mean I'm sure you you make recommendations on things
that they can do to bring more value.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yes, we do. Actually, trail networks is a huge positive.
People like to ride, especially if you're a little bit older,
maybe you've got some health problems.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, it's kind of nice to have something to ride
aside to side on.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
So trails are a huge plus, you tell these as
we shared with a huge plus. Water is enormous among
city people. City people love water, and so I tell
people put a pond a leg on the property.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, well I couldn't. Definitely, there's nothing like having your
own private pond. Jeff, you hold that thought. We're gonna
take a short break. We'll be back with more. Jeff Dickey,
Jeff Dickey real Estate, The Big Outdoors News Radio seven
hundred w l W Cincinnati, home.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
With the best Bengals coverage at w l.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
W Cincinnati Chip Park. My guest is Jeff Dickey, Jeff
Dickey real Estate. He's out in Highland County. And if
you're if you're in search of property, uh, this guy
he's you know, lived in the lived in that neck
of the woods all his life and and let's face it,
he's a farmer, okay, and he likes his neighbors that
(11:33):
he'd sold the property to and they like him.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
So I mean that's a that's a huge plus.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You know. So, as you know, as we were kind
of talking off air, I mean you mentioned Rocky Fork
Lake and property on that lake, which is a beautiful lake.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
That is a beautiful lake, state park lake, and it's
one of the best kept secrets in southern Ohio. And
I'm I'm the top realtor in that area also and
selling properties book on and off the water at Rocky Fork.
It's it's a it's a really cool lake. It's about
forty feet deep in some spots. You're one of the
best state camp grounds in the state of Ohio for
(12:12):
you know, for.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The camping is there.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
It's only an hour from Cincinnati, Dayton an hour and
fifteen twenty from Columbus, and we're having more and more
people discover this lake because we've changed a lot of
policies in the last few years. You're now allowed to
put put your own dock on the lake and do
some things like that, and it's it's attracting a lot
of people to rock Rocky Fork. And I'm having people
(12:34):
even sell their properties in Cumberland Lake, North Kalehillo, places
like that because it's five six hours down there. Now
you can drive out the Rocky Fork on a Friday night,
go back to the kid's soccer game on Saturday, back
to the lake on you know that night, and you
can get the best of both worlds and don't miss
your kids sporting events and enjoy the weekend at the lake.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Well, yes, it is a beautiful lake.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And it's like it I now somehow, you know, it's
like Canhead and Heyday, maybe thirty years ago and then
you know, people kind of just forgot about it because
you know they were going to come like in Dale
Hollow and places like that, and it is. It is
a beautiful lake. You know, you got Paint Creek Lake. However,
you don't have any development around that like you do
at Rocky Fork.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Well, the nice thing about Paint Creek Lake. I don't
know if you remember Chip the last Ohio Outdoor News
here in October featured Paint Creek Lake is on the
back page. The nice thing about Paint Creek Lake is
it's known for its fishing and crappee fishing, cat fishing.
And these two state lakes are only ten minutes apart,
so you can be on Rocky Fork Lake in the
(13:40):
morning and Paint Creek in the afternoon and evening and
back and Forth literally just minutes apart.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Well, And what was always intriguing to me about Paint
Creek is, you know from the tail waters all the
way to Chilli Coffee, I mean you have a lot
of great fishing. You know that that creek maintains a
pretty healthy amount of water in it, and you know,
contrary to some of you know, Brush Creek and some
of the others. So uh, you know, I mean there's
(14:07):
a lot that's that's a lot of land between Paint
Creek and Chill of Coffee as well.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
It is it is and uh you know if people
are doing all kinds of water sports, then you'll see
kayaking and just all kinds of things and fishing up
and down that creek. And so yeah, it's a it's
an excellent area. And between the two state lakes just
minutes apart. I mean, there's just a if you're an outdoorsman,
there's there there's there's things to do in that area.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, I know, we could get into farming and you
know all of those other things. If you're interested in
like a farm for hobby farming. That market's got to
be going crazy too, it is.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Uh tillable land prices are are outrageous right now.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I mean yeah, I mean we can.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He can be ten thousand dollars an acre or so,
depending on what it is and where it's at, and
even higher if there's a competing people wanting it and so.
Uh but uh, you know, uh, it's it's it's it's
just an opportunity there. If you want to invest money
in sillible land, you can.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You know, we we do it.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
I mean I've sold to production agriculture farms just here
in the last few weeks.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
And uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Basically farms that you would use to raise corn, soybeans
and wheat on and and so. But this time of year, uh,
primarily phones, you know, the phone start ringing for the.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Deer hunting type property.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, I bet is there a downtime at all?
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Uh, deer hunting in the summertime and it just gets
really hot and muggy, and it's a nine degrees humid
out there. You know, nobody wants to be in the
woods and full of picks and everything else, and so
it seems cool but cool down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, everybody wants to go to the wood.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Well, I know, you know, you have the exodus from
Hamilton County and these metropolitan areas Columbus probably the same thing,
and they're all heading down to that part of Ohio.
So how best can people get a hold of Jeff Dicky.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Best way to get hold of me is, uh my
phone number nine three seven three nine three seven two
two two's the office phone number and the actual We
have a website. It's called the Nicky Group, okay, so
or in Facebook also so yep, that that's right.

good heaven, and we'll check back in the spring and
see how things are going.

that it was going to handle a horse like that.
So congratulations to him. And of course that was approved
by the Visual Wildlife and the Ohio Outdoor Writers of
(17:57):
Ohio State Record Fish Committee.
Speaker 1 (17:59):

state cabins at state parks and resorts.

According to the Cowboys State Daily, grizzly bite off bit
off a hunter's boot in a Wild Wyoming showdown, And uh,
it was actually a Wyoming woman that was out elk
cunning your coady and bit through the rubber boot, pulling
(18:43):
it off her foot, and I guess a tangle ensued
and apparently she could really handle herself, probably beat that
son of a gun over the head with a rifle
or something, and so well.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
She's doing fine.
Speaker 2 (18:57):

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
