Nestled along Route 850 near Ickesburg in western Perry County, this 1.08-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a comfortable, fully equipped cabin surrounded by thousands of acres of public hunting and fishing access. Located adjacent to State Game Land 88 and within sight of Buffalo Creek, this property provides year-round access and a tranquil mountain setting while remaining close to small-town conveniences.
A newly stoned driveway leads up from Fort Robinson Road to the home site, which sits elevated above the road for privacy and scenic views. The residence has been well cared for by long-term owners who have used it as a retreat for relaxation and recreation. The covered and screened porch spans nearly the entire front of the home and is one of its standout features. This large outdoor living area is ideal for dining, playing cards, or enjoying quiet mornings while the sun rises over the ridge.
Inside, the layout includes a spacious living area that opens to the kitchen and dining space. The home has been kept in excellent condition, with mechanical systems regularly serviced and maintained. The water heater, furnace, and plumbing have been updated over time, and the septic system was recently pumped and inspected for worry free ownership, and a new riser was installed for future convenience.
The interior furnishings, including living room, dining, and bedroom furniture, will remain with the property, allowing for a turnkey transition. The kitchen includes a full suite of appliances, and a washer and dryer are included as well.
A storage shed with electric service provides space for equipment and tools, and much of the owner's outdoor gear, including a riding and push mower, will convey with the sale. The lot itself is primarily wooded with a cleared front lawn, mature trees, and gentle slopes that blend naturally into the surrounding forest.
The setting is quiet and lightly traveled, yet only about 5 minutes from Ickesburg and less than 20 minutes to Landisburg, where groceries and fuel are available. From this location, recreational opportunities abound:
State Game Land 88 is a stone throw from the property in multiple directions, offering thousands of acres of land open to hunting, hiking, and wildlife observation.
Buffalo Creek and Little Valley Creek run nearby, providing opportunities for incredible fishing and exploring.
The Tuscarora State Forest and Laurel Run Natural Area are within a short drive for those who enjoy trail systems and additional public access.
This property offers flexibility for various uses. It can serve as a full-time residence, a seasonal camp, or a weekend base for outdoor recreation. The size and layout make it manageable and low-maintenance, while the surroundings provide the space and quiet many seek in a rural setting.
If you have been looking for a small acreage getaway that combines comfort, access to extensive public lands, and a genuine sense of peace, this Perry County property is worth serious consideration.
