0 Joy Rd, New Matamoras, OH 45767

Seller is selling 25% ownership of all surface rights and mineral rights (likely). Welcome to 0 Joy Road in Washington County - 37 acres of rugged, timbered Appalachian hunting ground bordered on three sides by Wayne National Forest. This is not just another piece of land for sale. This is a private base camp that unlocks hundreds of thousands of acres of Ohio's only national forest - one of the largest contiguous blocks of public hunting land in the eastern half of the country. If you've been looking for the real deal, pay attention. Ground like this does not come available twice. The terrain here does the work for you. Deep ridges, natural draws, and defined travel corridors funnel deer and turkey movement across this property season after season. Water Creek cuts through the ground, anchoring wildlife patterns with a year-round water source - an edge that pays off every fall when bucks are still on a water-based routine and toms are working predictable routes. The pinch points between your private acreage and the surrounding national forest create the kind of ambush setups experienced hunters spend a lifetime trying to find. The standing timber is mature hardwood - oaks, hickories, and poplars that carry serious marketable value. Whether you hold it as a long-term investment or harvest selectively to fund a camp build, the timber alone makes this property pencil out. The canopy structure provides the mast crop and bedding cover that keep whitetails on the property year-round, and the thick regeneration in the draws gives them the security cover they need to move during daylight hours. Access is straightforward. Joy Road provides generous road frontage, County Road 9 is just minutes away, and electric service is already run to the road. A hunting cabin, off-grid retreat, or weekend camp is not a someday plan - it is a right-now possibility. Marietta is a short drive for supplies, and this property sits within an easy day's drive of Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Parkersburg - making it a realistic weekend destination for serious buyers across the region.
