 This
exceptional farm is extremely versatile, affording endless possibilities. It has
approximately 350 acres of woodland and 35 acres tillable and exhibits the magnificent
natural beauty of the Pocono Mountains and the ever changing panorama of the four
seasons. It is an ideal property for a private retreat, cross country skiing,
campground, large and small game hunting, equestrian facility, and snowmobiling.
 The
property is located less than 2 miles from exit 40 on Interstate 80, about 6 miles
from exit 35 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, 2 miles from the border of Hickory
Run State Park, and about 2 miles from the Lehigh Gorge State Park which features
hiking and biking trails and a fly fishing area along the scenic Lehigh River.
It is only minutes from Split Rock lodge, Big Boulder and Jack Frost Ski Areas,
and close to Whitewater rafting on Lehigh River, golf courses, and fine restaurants
in the Pocono area. It’s an easy commute to New York City via I-80 and Philadelphia
via the Turnpike.
 The
farm features a large beaver dam with adjoining pond, a 2 acre lake near the second
house, and the picturesque Pond Creek flows through the property. The wooded area
abounds with whitetail deer, wild turkey, and ruffed grouse.
 The
main farmhouse is a large frame two story with living room with hard wood floors,
dining room, large den, eat-in kitchen, laundry room, and full bath on the first
floor. On the second floor are five bedrooms, full bath, and a kitchen and dining
area. Because of the upstairs kitchen and bath, this house could easily be converted
into two apartments. Other amenities to this house include a wood burning stove,
a new standing seam metal roof, a covered side porch, covered front porch, covered
patio behind the house, and a Weil-McClain hot air furnace. Includes 60x32 bank
barn with 8-horse box stalls & paddock area, approximately 10 acres of fenced
pasture, and large riding ring.
 The
second house is a ¼ mile off the road down a long, scenic driveway in a beautiful
wooded setting overlooking the 2-acre pond. The 2-bedroom ranch house has large
living room, dining room, large family room with stone fireplace, kitchen, one
bath, screened porch, and full basement with 2 car garage. There is also a hunter’s
cabin that can be hooked up to electric.
 On
the other side of the farm is a 23-unit mobile home park with 22 spaces rented
at $140 per space, which generates a yearly income of over $35,000. The park has
its own on site sewerage & water systems.
 There
is extensive road frontage on two roads, which offers the possibility of future
subdivision. There are four wells on property: one for each house, one for the
mobile homes, and one by large pond that is not in use. The pump on ranch house
is 3 years old, and the pump house for the mobile home park was recently rewired
and brought up to code and has a new well pump. The school tax for the farm is
$1498 and the township & county taxes are $839.
 Enjoy
the peaceful charm and recreational activities of the Poconos while being in close
proximity to major metropolitan areas. Because of its extraordinary location,
majestic size, natural beauty, scenic stream and ponds, and income potential this
is truly a one of a kind property.
