Description

Price Adjusted! This extraordinary offering represents one of the most compelling large-acreage investment properties to reach the Pennsylvania market in years - a rare convergence of renewable energy income, mineral rights potential, timber investment, recreational excellence, and emerging infrastructure value wrapped in a meticulously managed private retreat. At the heart of the property stands a handcrafted log lodge, perfectly positioned to capture the surrounding scenery, featuring a large deck and outdoor firepit built for four-season enjoyment. A detached garage provides ample storage for equipment, vehicles, UTVs, and gear - essential infrastructure for managing a tract of this scale. Over 1.25 miles of Laurel Run meander through the property, joined by multiple smaller water sources that sustain a thriving ecosystem, enhance property value, and create the kind of immersive natural setting that defines a true legacy holding. These features make the tract exceptional for fishing, wildlife observation, and year-round recreational use. Years of intentional habitat stewardship have transformed this land into a premier trophy whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear hunting destination. Strategically placed food plots, high-quality bedding cover, and a well-developed interior road system ensure access across the entire tract. The sign is remarkable - a direct reflection of deliberate, long-term habitat management designed to attract and hold trophy-class game. Beyond hunting, the property offers outstanding opportunities for hiking, ATV and UTV riding, mountain biking, trout fishing, wildlife photography, primitive camping, and simply disconnecting from the world in total privacy. Several operational wind turbines currently generate consistent, passive income with minimal surface disturbance - a proven renewable energy revenue stream that adds immediate financial depth. This wind infrastructure positions the property within Pennsylvania's growing wind energy corridor, with potential for expanded wind lease negotiations or energy development agreements that could further enhance long-term returns for the right investor. Buyers and investment groups focused on mineral rights acquisitions, oil and gas royalties, and subsurface development will want to explore the full scope of what this tract offers. Pennsylvania's geology - particularly in this region - continues to attract interest from energy companies seeking acreage with natural gas, coalbed methane, and deep mineral potential. The combination of surface control and subsurface rights creates a layered investment thesis rarely found in a single offering. An estimated $4.5 million in marketable timber represents both an immediate and long-cycle investment opportunity. Whether selectively harvested to fund improvements or managed as a timber investment for appreciation, this resource adds a tangible, appraised asset layer that few recreational properties can claim. As demand for rural data center locations, fiber corridor adjacency, and large-acreage energy infrastructure sites continues to accelerate, well-positioned tracts with existing power infrastructure, road access, water resources, and private settings are increasingly sought by technology infrastructure developers. The existing energy presence, acreage scale, access, and utility footprint here merit serious consideration by buyers evaluating rural data center site selection or energy campus development in the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions. The property is fully gated, ensuring security and seclusion while protecting its long-term value. The interior road network provides practical access for management, timber operations, and recreational use without compromising the private character of the land. This is the kind of multi-revenue, multi-use legacy asset that rarely reaches the open market. Whether your vision is a private family retreat, a managed hunting preserve, a timber investment, a renewable energy holding, a mineral rights play, or a large-acreage infrastructure opportunity - this property delivers on every front. Shown by scheduled appointment only. Contact Jack Brown, PA Broker at Whitetail Properties, at 724-237-6308 or to schedule your private tour.
