Property Description

Versatile 33-Acre Property with stream, restored barn, modern garage, updated home, and short-term rental income. This unique 33-acre property offers a rare combination of natural resources, well-maintained structures, and functional upgrades—ideal for personal use, small-scale farming, or business operations. A trout-stocked stream runs through the property, which has been professionally landscaped by the owner, a former landscaper. The result is a park-like setting that feels like a private retreat, yet easy to maintain and highly usable. The restored barn, dating back to the late 1800s, is in excellent condition and set up for five horses. It includes a newer metal roof, electricity, water, drains, a sawdust shed, hay drop, granary, and ample storage. There’s a fenced horse pasture with electric fencing, and the tillable land is used for hay and oats. Additional outbuildings provide extra space for storage or equipment. For business or hobby use, a 20-foot tall, six-bay metal garage is fully insulated and features propane heat, electricity, water, interior drains, and is plumbed for a bathroom. It also includes an office, making it a great setup for someone looking to run a business from home or maintain a vehicle collection. The house combines original charm with thoughtful updates. Built in 1910 with a later addition, it retains chestnut wood walls in both the original structure and the new section for a cohesive look. It offers three heating systems—two heat pumps and radiant heat in the basement—and a backup generator that also powers the barn. There are four large bedrooms, including two primary suites—one on the main floor and another upstairs with a private sitting room, soaking tub, and balcony. The home is designed with ample storage throughout. The seller also has plans for a 10-acre buildable lot, with a completed perc test. While the subdivision hasn’t been finalized, the plans are available for the buyer’s review. This is a well-cared-for property with significant infrastructure already in place—ideal for a wide range of residential or business uses. This property offers incredible income-generating potential! In 2024, it brought in over $25,000 in short-term rental income, consistently booking out for Penn State football games and other local events. So far, 2025 rental income has already surpassed 2024’s earnings, with guests staying anywhere from a weekend getaway to multiple weeks at a time. Beyond the home’s proven short-term rental success, there are additional revenue opportunities from the garage, barn, horse boarding, and leasing the tillable land. Whether you’re looking for a turnkey primary residence or a rental investment with multi-uses and endless possibilities, this property is ready to deliver. Main home is not located in a flood zone, but some parts of the property are.
