Tucked deep in the remote ridgelines of Northcentral Pennsylvania, this extraordinary property spans nearly 600 acres of highly usable groundan exceptional find in a region known more for steep, unforgiving terrain. Unlike most mountain holdings, where access is a challenge and utility is limited, this landscape offers a rare combination of flat to gently rolling topography, making every acre accessible and functional.
Complete privacy is one of this property's most defining attributes. Surrounded by massive, privately owned tracts, the land is naturally insulated from public intrusion. These neighboring landowners share a commitment to security and land stewardship, forming an unofficial alliance that keeps unwanted visitors well beyond the boundaries. Adding to that exclusivity, the entire estate is encircled by a 10-foot high-tensile game fence, creating a private domain that is as secure as it is secluded.
The property itself is an outdoorsman's dream: a vast, interwoven trail system allows seamless travel by foot, horseback, ATV, or snowshoe. Two spring-fed pondscarefully stocked with largemouth bassoffer peaceful angling retreats, while a 1,000-yard steel target provides long-range rifle shooters the rare opportunity to practice at distance in total privacy. A run-in shed awaits those bringing horses, and the varied habitatfrom open food plots to timbered ridges and thick bottomssupports an impressive array of game.
The wildlife here is nothing short of exceptional. A long-established herd of elk, including several extremely rare white elk, roams the property freelywild-born and wary, despite being enclosed within the perimeter fencing. The existing elk herd is the result of decades of careful management and natural propagation. The same can be said for the whitetail herd, which carries elite genetics, including bucks with potential of 200+ inches. Both species are entirely self-sustaining and retain all the instincts and alertness of animals born in the wild.
At the heart of the property sits a warm, rustic lodge, paneled in knotty pine and built for comfort after a day in the field. It sleeps seventeen across seven cozy bedrooms and includes a full kitchen, a large covered deck, a fireplace, pool table, and high-speed internet for those rare moments when the outside world calls.
