About this property
Here is the whole side of the valley in one deed: 183 acres more or less in the Archers Fork valley of eastern Washington County, Ohio, with a house, a garage and the mineral rights all going with it. The timbered ridges, the benched hillsides, the valley floor and the water all go to one buyer at $800,000, which works out to about $4,370 an acre with the improvements and the minerals included. Mineral rights transfer with the sale, per the listing contract, and that alone sets this listing apart from most large tracts in southeast Ohio where the minerals were severed long ago. A two story house sits at the head of the gravel drive with a detached garage beside it. The seller reports updated HVAC and updated electric in the house, which needs TLC and is being sold as is. The garage is reported in good condition with electric run to it and a concrete floor, so there is a dry place for equipment from day one. Electric and rural water are at the road, and gravel road frontage on Oxbow Lane brings you straight onto the property. USGS mapping shows roughly 2,080 feet of Archers Fork and 1,240 feet of Oxbow Run crossing this ground, with wide pools and gravel bars on the valley floor, and the seller reports Little Muskingum frontage that is well known locally for smallmouth bass. The seller reports food plots, blinds, stands, a trail system and harvestable timber across the property, and the aerial footage shows elevated box blinds, a tower stand over a food plot lane, planted plot rows, a steel stairway over the creek ravine and a swing bridge across the water. Above the valley floor the ground climbs into hardwood timber on benched hillsides, the kind of mixed cover that holds deer year round and gives a timber buyer something to cruise. Washington County checked 4,492 deer in the 2024-25 season, 15th of Ohio's 88 counties. This is Wayne National Forest country. The Marietta Unit covers this stretch of the county, and the seller reports the property borders the national forest. The Archers Fork Trail, the North Country National Scenic Trail and Ohio's Buckeye Trail all run this same valley, and State Route 26, the Covered Bridge Scenic Byway, is a few road miles west. Marietta, the county seat, is about 17 miles and 31 minutes out, and New Matamoras on the Ohio River is about 15 miles and 27 minutes. For an investor this is 183 contiguous acres with timber, minerals, water, a house and road frontage bought in one closing, with the option to divide later on your own terms. For a hunter it is a complete property, with food, water, cover and stands already in place and a house at the gate to sleep in. Ground this size with the minerals included and a roof already on it does not come to market often in this valley. The property lies in Independence Township, Washington County, in the Frontier Local School District, and carries parcel numbers 1700634480000 and 170063372000.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
