Description

Own a rare piece of Appalachian heritage and income-producing land with this one-of-a-kind 108-acre property in New Matamoras, Ohio. Nestled along the banks of the Ohio River, this stunning retreat features a historic log cabin as its centerpiece, offering both rustic charm and modern-day potential.

Originally built in 1842 as a church, this remarkable log structure was transformed into a cozy home featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1982. In 2007, the cabin was fully upgraded to become the warm, inviting retreat it is today. Situated on 108 private acres just 25 miles east of Marietta, Ohio, this property offers unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and recreational opportunities.

What truly sets this property apart is its inclusion of mineral rights, a rare investment opportunity in the region. The property comes with an active gas well, piping infrastructure, and tanks, giving buyers a long-term resource investment in an area well-known for its natural gas production. Accessed by a private, gated driveway, the land offers exceptional seclusion and peace, making it an ideal destination for vacationers, hunters, and outdoor lovers.

Already a proven vacation rental, the cabin allows guests to kayak down a creek that flows directly into the Ohio River, enjoy trophy deer hunting, and unwind in a setting where the pace of life naturally slows down. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn in by large stone steps leading to a spacious covered front porch, perfect for relaxing in rocking chairs or taking in the peaceful sounds of nature.

This property is a hunter’s paradise, with south-facing slopes, thick cover, and various terrain providing excellent deer bedding areas. A natural saddle on the ridge top creates a perfect funnel for deer movement—ideal for both bow and gun hunting. An established trail system makes traversing the property easy via ATV/UTV, whether you’re hanging tree stands, retrieving game, or simply exploring the woods. While walking the land, deer and turkey sightings are common, and the acreage is equally suited for hiking, birdwatching, or photography.

Additional public land hunting opportunities are nearby in Wayne National Forest, a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, and hunting opportunities are abundant, with local amenities only a short drive away. With a mix of wooded acreage, river frontage, creek frontage, and proven income streams, this property is perfect for those seeking a private escape, a profitable rental investment, or a strategic land purchase with mineral value.
