About 45 minutes into my flight from ZZZ to ZZZ1 at 7;500 MSL; my aircraft engine experienced a sudden and what appeared to be total power loss leaving the prop wind milling.  The engine did not cough or sputter.  The fuel gauges indicated approximately 1/4 tank in both left and right tanks.  Attempts to restart the engine were made but were unsuccessful.  I trimmed for best glide speed and turned toward nearest airport on my VFR chart.  Upon arrival I found the airport to be unsuitable for landing due to a large barn constructed at approach end of runway and multiple vehicles parked on pavement of the former runway.  Houses and trees were also obstructing the runway sides. Subsequently; I made a forced landing in a clearing adjacent to former runway.  The aircraft occupants egressed safely and noticed that fuel was leaking from the airplane's right-wing root and left wing fuel cap.Remove 0OR9 (Hanel Field) airstrip a defunct and non-operational airport from the FAA sectional charts and the airport facility directory. There is no possibility to safely land on the runways there. This should also apply to any other non operational airports which have runway obstructions.
Pilot reported engine failure at cruise and elected to divert to the nearest suitable airport. Reporter discovered that the airport was no longer suitable for aircraft landings; and needs to be updated on charts and aircraft software.
