Very exclusive and very private. It is a unique and rare situation to find a tract of land in the Pennsylvania mountains as large as this, which has flat to rolling terrain and not just steep inclines. Even more unique is a situation that allows this property to not have trespassers. Ask any land-owner with a large number of acres of land and you will hear horror stories of unwelcome trespassers. The properties that are neighboring this one are very large tracts of land which are owned by private landowners who keep trespassers off of their land. This allows a trespass-free buffer zone for this property. On top of that protection, this property has a 10 foot tall high-tensile fence around its perimeter providing the property owners the ultimate in security and privacy. Located in Northcentral Pennsylvania, and held by the same family for 150 years, an exceptional property like this one does not come along very often. Unlike most large tracts of land in the Pennsylvania mountains that are comprised of terrain so steep they are not usable, this paradise is rolling-to-flat and all of it is very usable. There is a vast trail system throughout the property allowing easy access and use for hiking, atvs, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and much more. One large and one small spring-fed pond(s) have been stocked with large-mouth bass for your fishing pleasure. There is also a run-in-shed for horses if you desire, and a metal "gong" set up at 1,000 yards to test your long-distance rifle skills. The lodge interior is paneled with knotty-pine, has 7 small bedrooms, sleeps 17, has a full kitchen, fireplace, large covered front deck, big-screen tv, internet, a pool table and much more. The entire property has roughly 5 miles of 10' tall game-fence around the perimeter to provide you all the privacy you desire watching or hunting the private elk and deer herds. We even have 5 white-elk, which are not to be confused with albino. White elk are extremely rare, with only 1 in 100,000 being white. They are healthy and are very rare indeed. The "neighbors" to this property are comprised of large private tracts of land and are excellent "partners" in keeping others far from the borders, providing a truly private, exclusive experience.
Furthermore, the elk on this property may be kept from migrating from our perimeter fence but don't think for a second they are not wild. These elk have been born here for many many generations and they are very wild.
There is a private deer herd on this outdoorsmans paradise as well, with genetics from 200"+ bucks. Just like the elk, the deer are very wild indeed.
* * * For greater details please reach out to us through this site. The vast majority of the property is forest with a few open areas.
Multiple springs on this property feed streams with water that is as clean as clean water gets, as it comes out of the ground here, right on this property.
Whether you want a personal hunting paradise, a hunting business, a retreat for photo safaris, riding ATV's, horseback riding or just a wonderful, exclusive place to escape to with your friends and family, you will find none better than this.
To fully understand just how special and unique this property is, look at all the other properties within the northern PA mountain (wilds) area that are larger than 200 acres. Most of the other properties have a huge percentage of the property that has a steep incline, making so much of those other properties to be almost unusable, except for a small area here and there. Often those other properties are divided by public roads, rivers or the property itself is a peculiar shape hindering its usefulness or access. Some boast being next to State Forest land but the fact is, in those situations you will be flooded with trespassers from those public lands. We have none of those issues. Our topo map shows the beautiful and unique property that this is.
