This 10-acre tract is the upland anchor of a three-tract offering in the Newell Run area of Washington County, set back south and away from the creek corridor on higher, drier ground. Heavy hardwood timber covers the property top to bottom, giving a hunter cover, bedding structure, and the kind of privacy that does not come cheap this close to public land. A dirt access trail already cuts into the tract, so you can walk it, run equipment on it, or start scouting stand sites without carving a path first. Stand on the ridge here and the view runs out over rolling, timbered hills for miles, the kind of elevation that puts you above the funnels instead of guessing where they are. Elevation on this tract runs toward the higher end of the property's range, well above the creek bottoms to the north, which keeps the ground drier underfoot and gives a hunter a real vantage point on approaching ga...

A dirt access trail already cuts into the tract, so you can walk it, run equipment on it, or start scouting stand sites without carving a path first. Stand on the ridge here and the view runs out over rolling, timbered hills for miles, the kind of elevation that puts you above the funnels instead of guessing where they are. Elevation on this tract runs toward the higher end of the property's range, well above the creek bottoms to the north, which keeps the ground drier underfoot and gives a hunter a real vantage point on approaching game. This ground sits inside the greater Wayne National Forest Marietta Unit region, one of southeast Ohio's premier public-land hunting corridors, which means the deer and turkey moving through this county are moving through country you already know. Washington County is core SE-Ohio whitetail and turkey ground, and owning private acreage here means you set your own pressure and your own rules instead of sharing a tree line with everyone else hunting the national forest boundary. The 2025-26 season saw the county's bag limit dropped to one deer after an EHD outbreak, and that is exactly the argument for private ground like this: on your own 10 acres you manage the herd at your own pace, and EHD swings are weather-driven and typically rebound within a season or two. Spring 2026 turkey season is back on the calendar, giving this tract a second season to plan around. Beyond hunting, the seller has flagged genuine camp and weekend-retreat potential here, a quiet upland flat wooded enough to clear a site and pitch a camp, with the understanding that buildability, perc, and utilities are not yet established and would need to be verified before any construction plan. A tract this private, set well back off the road under a full hardwood canopy, is hard to find at this size anywhere near a public-land boundary this good. Marietta anchors the region about 20 miles out with full services, a historic river town, and over 20 miles of trail network for whatever else pulls you off the property. The Little Muskingum River watershed and its covered-bridge byway country wrap the broader area, and Hocking Hills State Park is about an hour away for a bigger weekend trip. Ohio hunting land averages just under $10,000 an acre statewide, while this stretch of southeast Ohio recreational ground still runs closer to $3,500 to $6,000 an acre, and 2026 prices are already tracking 2 to 4 percent above last year. A 10-acre entry point into a private, timbered, low-pressure block this close to Wayne National Forest does not sit on the market long at that spread.
