PRICE REDUCTION! Weekend Recreation Base | 10 Wooded Acres | Walking Distance to the Juniata River & SGL 171
If your ideal weekend involves a fishing rod, a tree stand, or a kayak, this one puts it all within walking distance. Tucked into 10 wooded acres in the Wild Area Development, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath stick-built cabin with garage is a private, ready-to-use base for year-round outdoor recreation.
Walk to the scenic Juniata River at Thompsontown Access for fishing, tubing, kayaking, birdwatching, and exploring small islands — or head the other direction to State Game Lands No. 171 for hunting and hiking. Haldeman Park, local markets, and food stops are all close by.
The cabin itself keeps things simple: a mountain spring supplies running water to the bathroom, shower, and kitchen, and the 1,000-gallon septic holding tank was just pumped. Existing trails wind through your own wooded ground, and access is via a gated, HOA-maintained driveway for added privacy ($200/year fee covers driveway maintenance; snow removal not included).
A few honest notes: the steep driveway with water breaks is best handled with a 4x4, and the cabin floor is uneven — it's been that way since the current owner bought it 10 years ago, and the stick-built structure could use additional supports to level it. Priced and positioned as a true camp, not a showpiece.
Whether you're after a hunting camp, a weekend getaway, or a quiet place to unwind between adventures, this property puts the outdoors right at your doorstep.
