SCIOTO COUNTY, OHIO LAND FOR SALE 38.078± Acres - Unique River Peninsula Farm with Two Streams, Strong Wildlife Habitat & Exceptional Accessibility Near Wheelersburg and Portsmouth It's not often you run into a property quite like this. In fact, it's hard to recall another tract in Ohio that offers this combination of water, accessibility, wildlife habitat, and recreational potential in one setting. Situated in Porter Township of Scioto County, just outside Wheelersburg, this 38.078± acre farm offers a rare landscape shaped by multiple waterways, creating a peninsula style layout that makes the property truly stand out. The land has recently been surveyed and comes in at 38.078± acres, providing buyers with clear boundaries and a ready to transfer parcel. One of the most striking features of this property is the extensive water frontage. The tract borders the Little Scioto River on two sides (3100 Feet of Frontage) while Wards Run, a heavy flowing stream, runs along another boundary (1300 Feet of Frontage). Together, these waterways create a peninsula type setting that offers scenic views, privacy, and outstanding recreational opportunity. This water rich environment supports a diverse range of wildlife. During boots on the ground inspections, numerous deer tracks and trails were observed along with multiple ducks utilizing the property. The mix of flowing water, timber, and low lying areas that naturally hold moisture makes this tract particularly attractive for waterfowl while also providing strong habitat for whitetail deer and wild turkey. The wooded areas of the property are highly traversable and easy to explore, making the land practical for hunting, hiking, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A few lower areas hold seasonal water which further improves wildlife habitat and contributes to the property's strong recreational value. Nearly the entire property lies within the AE flood zone and sits only approximately 1.7 miles, as the crow flies, from the Ohio River. While the floodplain designation exists, it has also helped preserve the natural habitat and water systems that make this property so attractive for wildlife and recreation. Accessibility is another major advantage. The farm sits at the end of a quiet dead end road, offering privacy and minimal traffic while still remaining extremely convenient to nearby towns and highways. The property is located just under one mile west of Wheelersburg, approximately half a mile north of Sciotodale, and roughly half a mile east of Portsmouth. State Route 140 is only about a mile away, with quick connections to both State Route 52 and State Route 823, allowing easy travel throughout the region. A structure is present on the property that appears to have been previously used as a residence. The condition is unknown and the structure is being conveyed as is. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the close proximity to major public land opportunities, with Wayne National Forest and Shawnee State Forest located nearby to the east and west. Opportunities to own a property shaped by water like this are extremely uncommon. Whether someone is looking for a recreational retreat, a wildlife rich hunting property, or simply a unique piece of land with scenic waterways, this tract offers a rare chance to own something truly different in southern Ohio.
