What makes Tract T3 a build/hunt tract?

Tract T3 combines the two most common reasons people buy rural land in Vinton County: a place to build on and a place to hunt. Electric at the road and State Route 278 paved access make a cabin or camper setup practical from day one. The rolling ridges and hollows with natural bedding areas, travel routes, and ambush spots make it immediately huntable — you can cut trails, set up camp, and start hunting right away.

What does 'classic Southeast Ohio ridges and hollows' mean for hunting?

Southeast Ohio's characteristic ridge-and-hollow topography creates natural bedding areas in the thick hollows, travel routes along the ridges and benches, and ambush spots at the transition zones between them. This is the terrain feature that makes Vinton County and the surrounding counties famous for big whitetails — deer predictably use these features, making stand placement and hunting strategy straightforward.

What is the relationship between Tract T3, T1, and T2?

Tract T3 (36 acres, $198,000), Tract T2 (27 acres, $148,500), and Tract T1 (35 acres, $192,500) were all split from the same 96.35-acre holding on State Route 278. All three share SR 278 paved access and electric at the road. They can be purchased separately or in combination. Contact Tyler Haessly at (740) 525-4582 to discuss any or all three tracts.

Is this a good long-term land investment?

Yes. Good recreational land in Vinton County and the Zaleski State Forest corridor stays in demand — this region is one of Ohio's most sought-after for hunting, outdoor recreation, and cabin retreats. The recently timbered woods continues to grow and improve as hunting habitat year over year. It's the kind of acreage that makes sense as a long-term hold.

What public lands are nearby?

Close proximity to Zaleski State Forest (hunting, backpacking, bridle trails, shooting range), Lake Hope State Park (boating, fishing, lodge, camping), Vinton Furnace State Forest, Raccoon Creek Scenic River Area, Moonville Tunnel, and Wayne National Forest Athens Unit. Some of the best public-land recreation in Ohio is within a short drive.
