Considering a Home in Hide-A-Way Hills?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Hide-A-Way Hills and the surrounding Hocking Hills golf market.
Hide-A-Way Hills is the residential community itself as much as it is a club -- roughly 1,650-1,730 wooded acres near Sugar Grove, established in 1961 as a gated retreat combining year-round residences and vacation homes around several private lakes. Recorded deed restrictions make club membership, and its associated required assessments, an automatic incident of owning any lot in the subdivision -- a genuine mandatory-bundling structure, distinct from every other community in this batch. The community's identity centers on its lakes, beach, and outdoor recreation; its nine-hole golf course is one amenity among several rather than the community's organizing feature.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Club membership (and the community's full slate of recreational amenities, including golf) is automatic and mandatory upon purchasing any lot, governed by required monthly assessments; there is no separate, optional membership tier the way there is at this batch's other qualifying communities.
Living in Hide-A-Way Hills
Governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees as a nonprofit club with an estimated 1,500 members (some full-time residents, some seasonal), the club also maintains the community's internal roads in addition to its recreational facilities, and provides 24-hour security at community entrances.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities center on the community's multiple private lakes (boating, fishing, swimming, a beach), plus a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, horse stables, a shooting range, a community garden, ATV trails, and a lodge with a restaurant -- a broad outdoor-recreation and lake-lifestyle identity well beyond golf.
