Description
Nestled atop Rupp Hill, this stunning 180+/- acre wooded tract offers breathtaking views of Fairfield, extending into Southwestern Gettysburg. This expansive property provides a rare combination of natural beauty, seclusion and recreational opportunities, making it perfect for anyone seeking an unparalleled outdoor retreat, future family compound or hunting property. The land is rich in scenic beauty, with open timber and a lush understory of low forest forage, making it an ideal habitat for whitetail deer and other wildlife. The views from this hilltop are simply unmatched, offering some of the most incredible vistas in Adams County, where the landscape remains as picturesque as ever. Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in the extensive trail system crisscrossing the property, perfect for hiking, ATV use or even vehicle access. The trail through this property actually connects from MT Hope Rd all the way through to Cold Springs Rd! Small seasonal runoff streams enhance the land’s charm, and for those who love a good summer picking, the property is home to an abundance of wild blackberries and raspberries.
Zoned for land conservation, this property is perfect for low-density rural development, ensuring that the open land and natural features remain preserved, with minimal public sewer needs. The property’s wildlife habitat is second to none, offering some of the best whitetail hunting in the region. In fact, bucks over 140 inches have been harvested from this property and neighboring lands, creating a sportsman’s paradise. While the property currently has no structures, it does feature a well on the northern parcel and electricity is available nearby. The northern lot has previously passed a perk test, making it ready for future development if desired. However, those tests have since passed and buyers should do due diligence in renewing or conducting new perk tests if desired.
Located just under 10 miles from downtown Gettysburg and close to the Maryland line, this property offers easy access to local amenities while still maintaining complete privacy. Surrounded by rolling hills, state game lands and apple orchards, this property provides peace and tranquility with little to no risk of surrounding development, preserving its rural charm for years to come. This 180-acre wooded tract is one of the larger contiguous properties in the area, offering a unique opportunity to own a private escape with unparalleled views, abundant wildlife, and endless potential. Whether you're seeking a family estate, prime hunting land or a nature enthusiast’s dream property, this hidden gem on Rupp Hill is an extraordinary find.
