Description

Located in Wood County, West Virginia, this 38.29-acre property offers a combination of mature hardwood timber, recreational opportunities, public-land access, and a remote setting at the end of a dead-end road. With 50% ownership in the mineral rights conveying with the sale, an established ATV trail system, quality timber, and direct proximity to Walker Creek Wildlife Management Area, the property provides several characteristics sought by recreational land buyers.

One of the most notable features is the property's location along the boundary of the Walker Creek Wildlife Management Area. West Virginia Division of Natural Resources currently lists Walker Creek WMA at approximately 3,194 acres spanning Wood and Wirt counties. The WMA includes mature oak-hickory forest and provides hunting opportunities for deer, turkey, bear, and several species of small game.

The combination of the private acreage and adjacent public hunting land gives buyers an opportunity to enjoy their own recreational property while having access to a substantially larger public-land landscape nearby. Buyers should independently verify the exact property boundary, public-land boundary, access points, and current WVDNR regulations before relying on any particular public-land use.

The private 38.29± acre tract itself features quality hardwood timber, with white oak being one of the notable species. The mature timber provides natural wildlife cover and contributes to the property's recreational character. Buyers interested in timber value should conduct their own evaluation of species, volume, quality, and potential future management.

An established ATV trail system runs throughout the property, providing access to the wooded acreage and creating opportunities for ATV and UTV recreation, hunting access, hiking, scouting, wildlife observation, and general land management. Trail conditions can vary seasonally, and buyers should evaluate the existing trail network during their inspection.

The property's location at the end of a dead-end road adds to its remote character. The setting provides an opportunity for someone seeking recreational acreage away from through traffic and more developed areas. The property may also appeal to buyers interested in an off-grid or low-infrastructure recreational lifestyle. There are currently no utilities on the property, although electric service is available nearby. Any future utility connections, building plans, or off-grid improvements should be evaluated independently by the buyer.

A large overhead powerline extends through the property. While this is an important existing feature that should be considered when evaluating the property, the powerline corridor may also provide a different type of habitat within the predominantly wooded landscape. Buyers should review the applicable easements, restrictions, and rights associated with the powerline during their due diligence.

The property's hunting potential is another significant attribute. The mature hardwood timber, natural cover, surrounding public acreage, and varied wooded habitat create an environment suitable for deer hunting and other outdoor recreation. The adjacent Walker Creek WMA further expands the recreational landscape and is managed by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources for wildlife and public recreation.

The property is located approximately 12 miles from Parkersburg, West Virginia, 14 miles from Mineral Wells, West Virginia, and 20 miles from Marietta, Ohio. This provides access to regional communities and services while maintaining the property's secluded setting.

For buyers searching for recreational land in the Mid-Ohio Valley, this 38.29± acre tract offers several features that are difficult to combine on a smaller property: mature hardwood timber, white oak, an established ATV trail system, a remote dead-end road location, proximity to thousands of acres of public hunting land, and conveying mineral ownership.

The property could be considered for hunting, ATV recreation, wildlife observation, timber management, or an off-grid recreational use, subject to applicable restrictions and buyer due diligence. Its proximity to Walker Creek WMA also provides an opportunity to incorporate public-land recreation into a broader recreational land strategy.
