    Description

    "Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul." John Muir. Less than 5 miles from I-77 and sitting atop a private road, this 117 acres offers breathtaking views and a haven from busy life. The property is easy to navigate with nearly 10 acres cleared and trails throughout. Improvements include clearing out nearly 10 acres re-gaveling the road, restoring entry to property, and removal of old structures, making way for a new build. The land would be great for hunters featuring white tail deer and turkey, or as a farm or homestead as it was previously used for agriculture. Another great option would be to invest as an AirBNB. The property is secluded, but only 10 min from historical downtown Marietta that has great local boutiques and restaurants as well as year-round tourism along the Ohio River.
    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from February 28, 2026

      "Marietta is the perfect small town. Choice of restaurants and shopping. Shopping is anything from Wal Mart Super Center to down town shops. It's a college town and is on the Ohio and Muskingum river. Several community get togethers a year. One of the biggest is the Sternwheel festival. It's well taken care of and people are friendly. If your looking to move here to find a job that is the one down fall. Not many good paying jobs here unless you know the right people. I've lived in Marietta all my life and love it here. "
