About This Home

Looking for an escape from the daily grind without breaking the bank? This 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin nestled in the heart of Adams County puts you steps away from the trails, wildlife, and natural beauty of Michaux State Forest all at a price that actually makes sense. This property has incredible potential for the right buyer willing to roll up their sleeves. Community water is already in place. A full bath is located inside the cabin and awaiting your finishing touches. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, hunting cabin, or a low-cost investment property to build equity over time, this is an opportunity that rarely shows up at this price point in one of South Central PA's most scenic corridors.
