6686 State Route 356

New Marshfield, OH 45766

Tucked into the expansive forests surrounding Zaleski State Forest, this remarkable 25-acre retreat feels like a resort straight out of Big Sur. Set high on a wooded hillside, the home was designed and built into a rocky cliff, an ambitious undertaking that created one of the area's most distinctive homes. Directly across the road is a scenic one-mile loop ideal for walking or an evening drive, with multiple hiking access points. Uncle Buck's Riding Stable, Moonville Tunnel and miles of public forest are nearby. Inside, the multi-level design unfolds naturally. The first and lower levels include a spacious bedroom with oversized closet, full hall bath, plus a flexible second bedroom, bunkroom or office with five woods-facing windows. A few steps up and you'll enter the great room, with a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, spacious kitchen with quartz counters, abundant storage, newer appliances, a four-seat peninsula and a generous dining area. Up a few more steps is the warm and inviting main living area, anchored by a substantial wood stove, with room for oversized furnishings and access to a composite deck surrounded by treetops. Upstairs, the primary suite may be the showstopper, with room for a king bed, walk-in closet, laundry, private deck and dramatic views over the living spaces below. The spa-like bath features a double vanity and an extraordinary tiled shower set into a glass corner, with windows on two sides opening directly to the treetops and bringing new meaning to an immersive forest-bathing experience. Outside, easy walking trails follow the ridge and lead deep into the acreage, where mature red and white oak, white pine and hickory create a rich woodland setting filled with wildlife and quiet places to explore. When not in use by the owner, the home has also operated as a part-time Airbnb with an established rental history, offering a rare blend of personal retreat, full-time residence and proven income potential.
