Discover approximately 215+/- secluded acres in Cairo, West Virginia, offering exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, two cabins, and miles of recreational possibilities. Located in Ritchie County, the property comprises nine parcels and is approximately 70% wooded and 30% pasture. It offers an appealing combination of mature woods, open fields, a year-round stream, established trails, and additional potential building sites.

Deer, turkey, squirrel, and rabbit are regularly seen on the property. Eight hunting stands—both elevated and ground-level—are included. The land has been privately managed, with no public hunting permitted.
