1276 Sheaffers Valley Rd Landisburg, PA 17040

Welcome to your very own retreat in the woods, where 60 acres of privacy, recreation, and comfort come together just outside Landisburg. This fully renovated four-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin borders Colonel Denning State Park and is surrounded by the nearly 96,000-acre Tuscarora State Forest, offering unmatched access to hunting, hiking, and outdoor adventure. The location alone sets this property apart, with direct access to a landscape few others can call their backyard.

The cabin itself has been completely updated with modern conveniences while maintaining its rustic charm. Inside, you'll find brand-new mini-split systems for efficient heating and cooling, a Rheem tankless water heater, UV-filtered spring water, all-new plumbing, new flooring, windows, doors, appliances, cabinetry, and a fully remodeled bathroom. Water is sourced from a natural spring and the home runs on a gravity-fed septic system—simple, reliable, and efficient for full time living.

Step outside onto a 90-foot wraparound porch where you're surrounded by peaceful woodland views and the sounds of nature. A springhouse on the property controls an overflow system providing a fully crystal clear, spring-fed pond—perfect for holding trout or other fish species perfect for peace and serenity or keeping the kids busy fishing. This private water feature adds an extra layer of recreational use and natural beauty to the land. A second home on the property is a trailer near the main entrance, which with some updating can offer additional space for guests, a potential rental, or extra storage.

A one-mile private trail system winds through the property, ideal for hiking, horseback riding, or ATV use. Whether you’re out for a morning ride or setting up stands for hunting season, this trail network offers easy access to every corner of the land. For hunters, the opportunities are unmatched. The property itself holds healthy populations of deer, turkey, and bear. From the top of the mountain, you gain direct access into Colonel Denning State Park—a 273-acre park nestled in a mountain gap—right into a south-facing slope that is difficult for the general public to reach, giving you and nearby landowners nearly private access to some of the most secluded sections of the park.

Even more impressive, Colonel Denning is entirely surrounded by the vast Tuscarora State Forest—nearly 96,000 acres of public land offering extended opportunities for hunting, hiking, and wildlife exploration. This gives you access to miles of rugged trails, including a segment of the Tuscarora Trail, and thousands of acres where you can hunt, hike, and explore for years to come without running out of room.

While this property offers unmatched seclusion and wilderness access, it’s still conveniently located just a short drive from Landisburg and Newville, making supply runs and dining out an easy trip. Whether you're looking for a quiet getaway, a high-quality hunting tract, or a full-time home nestled deep in nature, this property delivers. With modern upgrades, a private pond, access to both state park and forest land, and room to roam, it's the kind of place that doesn’t come along often—and once you’re here, you won’t want to leave.
