Recreational Land for Sale in McArthur, Ohio
E State Route 278, McArthur, OH 45651
Tract T2 is 27 acres of straight-up Vinton County hunting and recreation ground - private, practical, and located where you actually want to own land. With State Route 278 access and electric at the road, this isn't one of those tracts you dread getting to. It's a place you can use. This property has the kind of rolling ridge-and-hollow terrain that creates natural funnels and pinch points. The recent timber work has it growing back thick with young hardwoods and regeneration - exactly the type of cover that holds deer tight and makes for strong hunts as the season progresses. If you want a weekend escape, this tract sets up well for a simple camp/cabin plan and a spot to cut trails, hang stands, and make it your own. It's the type of land you improve over time and pass down. And the location is a major advantage - close to Zaleski State Forest, Lake Hope, and the surrounding public-land network that makes this area famous with hunters and outdoorsmen. Note: The listing agent is a relative of the seller.
