Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in McArthur, Ohio

Tucked at the very end of a quiet township road, this 25.536± acre property presents a rare opportunity to own completely untouched land in the heart of Ohio's rapidly growing Hocking Hills region. With no existing structures, no prior development, and a landscape rich in natural character, the property offers a true blank canvas for a private retreat, cabin development, or long-term investment. Its location combines the seclusion buyers seek with close proximity to one of the Midwest's most visited outdoor destinations. Situated in the highly desirable Hocking Hills tourism corridor, the property benefits from strong short-term rental demand driven by year-round visitors. The area continues to experience significant growth as travelers seek hiking, nature experiences, and weekend getaways. Nearby attractions include Ash Cave located approximately 14 minutes away, as well as Hocking Hills State Park roughly 18 minutes from the property. Columbus is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away, providing convenient access to a major metro area while maintaining a secluded rural setting. The land itself is completely vacant and well-suited for development. A new gravel entrance has been installed, and electric service is available at the road. The end-of-road location enhances privacy, while several acres of relatively level ground near the entrance provide an ideal starting point for construction. Throughout the property, multiple natural homesites offer flexibility for cabin placement, allowing for private spacing between structures in a potential rental or retreat layout. Surrounding newer homes and cabin developments further support long-term value in the area. The terrain features a scenic mix of rolling hills, wooded ridges, and natural hollows typical of the Hocking Hills region. Mature hardwood timber, including stands of oak, covers portions of the property, and a natural creek bed winds through the landscape. Rock formations and cave-like features enhance the dramatic setting, while existing ATV and walking trails provide access throughout the acreage. The combination of topography and natural features creates an authentic wilderness feel with strong recreational appeal. GPS coordinates for the property are 39.3359, -82.5651. Annual property taxes are approximately $342. All seller-owned mineral rights will convey with the sale, and there are no active wells on the property. In addition to its development potential, the property offers strong recreational value. The land supports consistent deer and turkey activity, with established stand locations already in place. The habitat, cover, and terrain make it well-suited for hunting, hiking, ATV use, and general outdoor enjoyment. Opportunities to acquire untouched acreage of this quality in the Hocking Hills region are increasingly limited. Whether intended for short-term rental cabins, a private recreational retreat, or long-term land investment, this property offers a rare combination of location, privacy, and natural beauty.
