Recreational Land for Sale in McArthur, Ohio
E State Route 278, McArthur, OH 45651
Route 278 with electric at the road and the kind of privacy buyers are after. If you've been looking for a place to build a cabin, park a camper, and have your own ground to hunt - this one is a strong contender. The terrain is classic Southeast Ohio: rolling ridges and hollows that create natural bedding areas, travel routes, and ambush spots. The property was recently timbered and is coming back with young hardwoods and thick regeneration - prime cover for deer and turkey and a solid long-term play as the woods continues to grow. This is the kind of tract you can own and actually use - cut trails, set up a small camp, and start hunting it right away. It's also the kind of acreage that makes sense as a long-term hold in a region where good recreational land stays in demand. And when you're not on your own ground, you're surrounded by some of the best public-land recreation in the state - Zaleski, Lake Hope, Vinton Furnace, and more, all within a short drive. Note: The listing agent is a relative of the seller.
