About This Home
The Promised Land 327 +/- Acres of Central Pennsylvania Wilderness
Discover The Promised Land 327 +/- breathtaking acres of unspoiled Central Pennsylvania wilderness, perfectly suited for the discerning outdoorsman, hunter, or investor. Spanning two separate parcels with exclusive access via a right-of-way through over 10,000 acres of State Game Lands 166, this property offers unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and recreational opportunity.
The first parcel includes approximately 40 +/- acres and a charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath historic log cabin. Originally built in the late 1800s, this timeless retreat has been lovingly maintained, showcasing original log beams, a meticulously preserved stone-wall basement, and all modern utilities. With a fully functional kitchen, cozy dining and living areas, and rustic charm throughout, it’s the perfect year-round getaway or seasonal hunting lodge.
Continue deeper into Game Lands 166 to reach the expansive second parcel, a ridge-top sanctuary teeming with wildlife and natural resources. Featuring marketable timber with a recent timber survey. Trophy deer, bear, and turkey frequent the ridges and benches, making it a dream location for serious hunters and trappers. Adjacent agricultural land further enhances the wildlife habitat. A timber report has been completed on all 327 +/- acres, and the 285+/- acre parcel was recently surveyed, providing added clarity and confidence for potential buyers.
Nature lovers will appreciate proximity to the famed Little Juniata River, known for trout fishing, and nearby Spruce Creek. The property lies just 30 minutes from Raystown Lake and Altoona, and 40 minutes from State College, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.
Whether you’re seeking a private mountain sanctuary, an income-producing timber and mineral asset, or the ultimate hunting property, The Promised Land delivers!
