This wooded lot near Alum Bank is for someone who wants to build a home and not see the neighbors. It sits right off a paved road, there's a steel building already on it, and from the higher ground you can see out across the valley to the ridges.

It's all timber, mostly tall hardwoods on a gentle slope. Walk in a little way and the road goes quiet behind you. That's the whole idea here. You clear only what you need for the house, the driveway, and a yard, and leave the rest of the woods standing around you. From the road, nobody would know the house is there.

Then you open up one lane through the trees toward the view. From the higher ground you look down over open fields and out to the ridgeline. Picture the back porch or a wall of windows facing that way. Morning coffee with the sun coming up over the ridges. Evenings watching it go down.

The steel building is already up, which takes one big project off your list. Use it as a garage, a workshop, or a place to store materials and equipment while the house is being built. Once you're moved in, it's the shop or the extra garage every country home ends up needing.

Getting in and out is easy. No long lane to plow and no seasonal road. You pull in off the road any time of year, and so does your builder and your deliveries. There are a few different spots that could work for the house, depending on how far back in the trees you want to be. Buyers should confirm septic and site suitability as part of their planning.

Alum Bank is on Route Fifty Six in the Chestnut Ridge School District. Bedford and the Turnpike are about twenty minutes away. Shawnee State Park and Blue Knob State Park are close to the lake, the trails, and skiing in the winter. Johnstown, Bedford and Altoona handle the bigger shopping trips and medical care.

Privacy, a view, a building already standing, and a paved road out front. That's a rare mix for a homesite, and the best way to understand it is to walk the ground and pick your spot.
