Description
Price Adjusted! This 8.6-acre recreational property is located in Centre County, Pennsylvania, just south of Pennsylvania State Game Lands 33 and within easy driving distance of both State College and Altoona. Positioned on Jacobs Way, a privately maintained gravel road, the property offers year-round access in a secluded setting with no zoning and no deed restrictions, allowing for a wide range of recreational or residential uses.
The land is mostly wooded with a gentle topography, making it well-suited for wildlife, hiking or development. It features a recorded and approved septic test location, allowing future owners to move forward with on-site sewage system installation. The lack of zoning in this part of Taylor Township offers flexibility for cabins, RVs, tiny homes or full-time residences, subject only to state septic permitting.
The property is surrounded by rural forested tracts and lies just minutes from the expansive State Game Lands 33, offering thousands of acres of public hunting access for deer, bear, turkey and small game. The quiet setting and minimal nearby development create a favorable environment for wildlife and outdoor recreation.
Electric service is available nearby, and there are no wetlands or floodplain encumbrances noted on the parcel. The soils are well-drained, and the approved septic location is positioned with practical access to potential future building areas. Jacobs Way provides frontage along the parcel’s northern edge and is used only by landowners in the immediate area, helping preserve privacy and reduce traffic.
Located just 30 miles east of Altoona and approximately 28 miles west of State College, this property combines rural seclusion with access to key regional hubs. State College, home to Penn State University, offers healthcare, dining, supplies and cultural events. Altoona serves as a commercial and transit center for western Pennsylvania.
Whether you're looking for a hunting basecamp, seasonal recreation property, off-grid homesite or long-term investment in Centre County land, this property provides the acreage, access and permitting groundwork needed to move forward.
