This 226+/- acre property in Pennsylvania offers a combination of a custom timber-frame home, diverse recreational land, and an income-producing opportunity through short-term rental use. With wooded ridges, mountain views, and direct access to state forest, it functions as both a sportsman's retreat and an investment property.
The land is largely wooded and contains a developed trail system suitable for ATV or UTV riding, horseback use, or hiking. Three established food plots are planted in mixed blends that attract whitetail deer, black bear, and wild turkey. Little Valley Creek flows through the tract and is a highly desirable trout stream known to hold brown trout. To the west and south, the property borders the Tuscarora State Forest, creating direct access to thousands of acres of additional ground.
At its center stands a custom timber-frame home built in 2009, offering more than 4,600 square feet of living space with seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home includes vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a custom kitchen with a large dining area. Large windows capture the mountain views, which can be enjoyed inside or outside on the covered deck and stamped-concrete patio below. Additional features include a lower-level game room, dual tankless water heaters, PEX plumbing, and a detached garage with loft storage.
For hunting use, three Redneck blinds are in place and overlook the food plots. The property is enrolled in Pennsylvania's Clean & Green program, lowering annual taxes.
For investors, the lodge has been evaluated for short-term rental use. Market data indicates projected annual revenue of approximately $163,000 with average daily rates around $916, supporting net operating income estimates of more than $100,000 after operating expenses.
The seven-bedroom layout, location, and nearby outdoor recreation position the property competitively among other large rural rental lodges in the region.
Despite its secluded setting, the property remains accessible. It is approximately 40 miles from Harrisburg, 45 miles from Carlisle, 90 miles from State College, and about 120 miles from Philadelphia.
This listing presents a unique opportunity to own a large timber-frame lodge property with recreational land, trout stream frontage, and both personal and investment appeal.
