About this land
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.

Questions to ask before you buy
Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
- Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
- What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
- How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
- What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
- What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
- How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
- How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
- What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
