About This Home
Tucked into 10 wooded acres in the Wild Area Development, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath cabin with garage offers a simple, private base for year-round outdoor recreation. An ever-flowing spring supplies the water, and existing trails wind through the property, making it easy to explore your own ground. The setting is quiet and wooded—well-suited for weekend escapes or extended stays in the country. Access is via a gated, HOA-maintained driveway for added privacy. At the base of the mountain, you’ll find the scenic Juniata River and Thompsontown Access, known for fishing, tubing, kayaking, birdwatching, and exploring small islands. Also nearby are Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 171 and Haldeman Park, offering even more options for hunting, hiking, and outdoor enjoyment, along with local markets and food stops. Whether you’re looking for a hunting camp, a weekend getaway, or a quiet place to unwind, this property puts the outdoors right at your doorstep.
