Property Description

Welcome to the homesteading property you've been waiting for, a rare opportunity to own 25 acres bordering Pennsylvania State Game Lands and the renowned Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. This exceptional setting offers remarkable privacy and solitude with endless opportunities for homesteading, a hobby farm, and outdoor recreation. Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area encompasses nearly 6,000 acres of protected land, including a 360-acre lake for kayaking and fishing and more than 20 miles of hiking trails. It is also known for abundant wildlife and the spectacular annual migrations of snow geese and tundra swans. Built in 2023 by S. Gerald Musser Builder, this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath rancher offers over 2,800 square feet of living space that combines modern comfort with warm, custom character. An inviting front porch with beautiful wood beams overlooks a peaceful water feature, making a striking first impression. Inside, the open main living area features LVP flooring, a cathedral ceiling, recessed lighting, and a custom island kitchen with Dutch Wood cabinetry. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and private bath with a fully tiled walk-in shower, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the main level. The finished walkout lower level adds a spacious rec area, office, storage/safe room, and rough-in for a future full bath. Outside, approximately 7 acres of fenced pasture with solar-electric fencing, and frost-free hydrant offer flexibility for horses or livestock, plus a smaller front pasture with run-in shed. Trails along the propertys perimeter and throughout the interior provide convenient access across the acreage. Fenced raised garden beds and a large rear concrete patio add to the outdoor appeal, with ample space for a future 40' x 80' pole barn. The property is exceptionally equipped with a 35-GPM well, upgraded Kinetico water treatment system with UV light, Central Boiler exterior wood boiler integrated with the propane heating system, 500-gallon owned propane tank, Cat-6 Ethernet wiring throughout, and propane connections for a future generator and outdoor grill. Surrounded by protected lands and abundant wildlife, this extraordinary property offers a combination of privacy, acreage, recreation, and a nearly new custom home that is increasingly difficult to find in Lancaster County.
