About Buchtel
Buchtel is a quiet village of around 500 people tucked into the scenic hills of southeastern Ohio, straddling the border of Athens and Hocking counties. Once a bustling coal hub in the late 1800s, the town today moves at a much slower, relaxed pace. It offers peaceful, rural living just minutes northeast of Nelsonville, giving residents quick access to local shops, dining, and community events. You are also a short drive from both the lively energy of Athens and the outdoor trails of the Hocking Hills, making it a great spot for anyone looking for affordable small-town charm.
