One-of-a-kind property that makes the perfect getaway or weekend retreat! This home gives you the feeling of living in a treehouse with a fantastic valley view. Conveniently located just 5 minutes from Wayne National Forest for hiking or hunting, 10 minutes from the Ohio River for fishing, and about 20 minutes from a boat ramp in St. Marys, WV, for boating enthusiasts. You’re also only 25 minutes from the heart of historic downtown Marietta, Ohio—offering great restaurants, shopping, antiquing, and charming tours.
Whether you want to relax and enjoy the scenery or head out exploring, this property offers a little of everything. Inside you’ll find a spacious eat-in kitchen and a cozy living room with a loft area featuring walls of windows overlooking the valley, plus access to a covered 8'x12' porch and a 13'x19' deck—perfect for taking in the view. The loft provides additional sleeping space if needed. The home is well-insulated and features propane space heaters and an electric baseboard in the living room for backup. Water is supplied via a holding tank (located in a metal enclosure), and the septic system consists of a 500-gallon tank that requires periodic pumping. The purchaser must be a strong conventional or cash buyer for this type of home. This would also make a great unit for a vacation rental property.
