Land We Buy in Athens County

Athens County sits on the Unglaciated Allegheny Plateau, with steep, rugged hills and deep stream valleys carved by the Hocking River watershed. A large share of the county lies within the Wayne National Forest, and the local economy has historically included coal mining, salt production, and timber harvesting alongside beef and dairy farming that continues today. That mix means the vacant land we see ranges from wooded hillside acreage and old farmland to smaller in-fill lots near Athens and Nelsonville. Ohio University in the city of Athens anchors the local economy, but most of the county outside the city and Nelsonville remains rural, hilly, and heavily wooded. Whatever shape your parcel takes, we’ll give it a fair, honest look.
