Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Jacobsburg, Ohio

Tract 1 is 52.5 acres and sits as the hunting anchor of the five-tract offering at 59900 Ramsey Ridge Road. A flowing creek cuts across the back of the property, pulling game year-round and giving the tract a natural bedding spine along the drainage. A trail system is already in place, meaning this ground has been walked, ridden, and hunted strategically for years. Topography gives just over 200 feet of relief, with saddles, benches, and ridge lines that funnel whitetail movement the way a hunter wants to see it. Bucks cruise the high ground during the rut, does bed down in the hollows, and turkey roost on the hardwood ridges and strut the openings come April. Belmont County sits inside Ohio Division of Wildlife District 4, which carries a three-deer bag limit and an archery season that runs late September through February. The 18,000-acre Egypt Valley Wildlife Area to the northwest takes public hunting pressure off this piece and keeps a healthy deer population cycling through the region. City water and electric sit right at the road, so there is no long utility run to drop a cabin on the ridge or set a home pad near the access point. Ridge-top cabin with a creek overlook, or a full home pad closer to the access drive, both are on the table here. Elevation across the parent property runs from about 1,060 feet in the bottoms up to 1,360 feet on the high ground, and Tract 1 carries the bones of that full range on its own. This is the largest of the five tracts and sits on the western side of the boundary, giving it the most elbow room and the deepest back-of-property feel. Access is direct off Ramsey Ridge Road with a gravel entry that is already cut in. The tract is a clean mix of mature hardwoods, smaller cover pockets, and creek bottom, the kind of habitat variety that holds game instead of just moving it through. Wheeling, West Virginia is 17 miles to the east and St. Clairsville, Ohio is 11 miles north, so groceries, fuel, and a hospital are all close without being in the front yard. Barkcamp State Park, Piedmont Lake, and the Ohio River are all within an easy drive for fishing, boating, and weekend use once the cabin is up. Union Local School District covers the address for buyers who plan to live on the tract full time. Annual property taxes are TBD pending the new parcel split and will be confirmed at the Belmont County Auditor after recording. This is the tract for the buyer who hunts first and builds second, and at $275,000 it is priced to move to the right person.
