Recreational Land for Sale in McArthur, Ohio
State Route 278, McArthur, OH 45651
If you've been waiting on a tract that's easy to get to, priced right, and sits in the heart of Ohio's big-woods country - this 35-acre piece on State Route 278 deserves a hard look. You've got electric at the road, solid frontage, and the kind of layout that makes sense whether you're building a cabin, setting up a weekend camp, or staking your claim for hunting season. This ground offers a strong mix of open pockets and timbered cover with rolling Appalachian terrain. The recent timber work has it set up how whitetails like it - young standing hardwoods, thick regrowth, edge cover, and natural travel corridors that hunt bigger than the acreage reads on paper. The access is straightforward, the setting is quiet, and the location is exactly what buyers chase in Vinton County - close to major public land and a proven hunting/recreation corridor. You can spend the morning on your own ground and still have thousands of acres nearby to roam when you want to stretch your legs. Whether you're a working guy who wants a no-nonsense place to unplug, a family wanting land to build on, or a hunter looking for a basecamp near public access - this tract is the kind that gets used and appreciated.
