Set in the heart of the Marsh Creek Valley, this 183-acre property offers sweeping views of Bald Eagle Mountain and the surrounding ridges of the Allegheny Plateau. A true recreational paradise, it lies within minutes of Sproul State Forest, Bald Eagle State Forest, and State Game Lands 92, 255, and 323—putting thousands of acres of public land at your doorstep. For water enthusiasts, Howard Lake (Foster Joseph Sayers Reservoir) is less than three miles away. This 1,730-acre lake provides opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming, complete with the popular Sayers Dam Beach. The land is comprised of three separate parcels, each of which is perked and offers an ideal building site for a home or cabin. This layout provides flexibility for multiple residences, family retreats, or investment opportunities. The property itself features miles of well-maintained trails, ideal for horseback riding, ATVs, or quiet hikes through the landscape. Multiple food plots have been professionally designed to maximize hunting potential, each paired with an enclosed 12-point hunting blind and reliable food and water sources. For long-range shooters, ridge-top setups with shooting benches allow for distances up to 600 yards, while wooded cover provides ample opportunities for archery. Whitetail deer, turkey, bear, and small game are abundant. Conveniently located only 15 minutes from I-80, the property is just 30 miles from State College, 2 hours to Harrisburg, and about 2.5 hours from Lancaster County, making it accessible while still offering privacy and seclusion. Whether you’re seeking a premier hunting retreat, a recreational escape, or simply a place to take in breathtaking views, this property combines natural beauty with thoughtfully designed outdoor amenities. The vistas overlooking Marsh Creek Valley will make you want to stop, sit, and soak it all in.
