152± Acres in Lycoming County with a Private Trout Stream, Stocked Pond, and State Forest Border

This 152.2± acre property at 896 Mill Rd in Williamsport combines a large recreational tract, a substantial lodge, a private trout stream, a stocked pond, and direct frontage on Tiadaghton State Forest. It is a rare set of features to find together on one contiguous parcel in northcentral Pennsylvania, and it is set up for hunting, fishing, and heavy year-round use.

The Lodge

Built in 2014 by Amish craftsmen, the lodge totals 7,700 square feet across two stories, including the finished, heated screened porch and screened balcony, with 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.

The first floor includes two bedroom suites, a living room, a laundry room, a full bath, an office, and a great room with a wood stove for gathering. The dining room comfortably seats 30 with room to spare, and the kitchen is built for entertaining, renovated with brushed stainless appliances, a gas range with range hood, a second electric range with cooktop, a refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave.

The second floor offers 7 bedrooms, including 4 suites with jack-and-jill baths and one with its own attached bath and walk-in closet. Two additional living spaces give the floor room to spread out, plus a large front room with wall-to-wall windows overlooking the property and the valley beyond.

Heat is supplied by a 12-zone radiant floor system running on propane, with hot water heat throughout most of the lodge (the dining room is the exception), plus a wood stove in the great room as a second heat source. The well was installed in 2023, and the septic system dates to the lodge's construction in 2014. Closets throughout the lodge provide storage suited to a property that sleeps a large group.

A covered pavilion near the lodge adds a shaded outdoor gathering spot, and additional outbuildings on the property support storage and equipment for year-round use.

Private Trout Stream

A private trout stream runs through the property for over 3,200 feet, holding both native and stocked trout, most recently stocked in 2025. Multiple professionally engineered fishing holes create deep pools along the stream, giving anglers private water with minimal fishing pressure. A separate stocked bass pond sits near the lodge, adding a second fishing option close to the house.

Hunting and Access

The land is predominantly wooded with steep terrain in portions of the property, and it supports whitetail deer, black bear, and wild turkey. The scale and contiguous nature of the acreage, the wooded habitat, minimal disturbance, and direct access to adjoining State Forest land all support quality hunting. An extensive ATV and UTV trail system runs through nearly the entire property, making the steep terrain accessible for hunting, scouting, and general use.

Tiadaghton State Forest Border

The property directly borders Tiadaghton State Forest, one of its strongest features. This puts thousands of additional public acres immediately adjacent to the property line, expanding hunting and hiking opportunities well beyond the deeded acreage and adding privacy since that adjoining ground will remain public rather than developed.

Recreation

Between the trout stream, the pond, the hunting, the trail system, and the Tiadaghton State Forest border, this property supports use across every season: spring and fall turkey and deer hunting, summer fishing and trail riding, fall and early winter bear and deer season, and hiking into the adjoining Tiadaghton State Forest year-round.

Use and Ownership

The size of the lodge and the range of recreational features suit several ownership models: a large group retreat, a hunting camp, a corporate retreat, or a standalone sportsman's lodge. Short-term vacation rental use may also be worth considering, subject to local regulations and permitting.

Mineral Rights

Two-thirds of the Oil, Gas, and Mineral Rights are owned by the seller and will convey with the sale.

Included with Sale

The sale includes a side-by-side UTV, an aluminum trailer, and a log splitter.

Location

The property sits in Lycoming County near Williamsport, in a region known for large blocks of public and private timberland, quality deer and bear hunting, and trout water throughout the mountains of northcentral Pennsylvania. Williamsport offers full services, shopping, and dining, while the adjoining State Forest land provides additional backcountry recreation.

Why This Property Stands Out

Large recreational tracts come up for sale regularly. Tracts of this size paired with a lodge this large, a private engineered trout stream, a second fishing pond, and a Tiadaghton State Forest border do not come up often. This property was built and maintained for heavy year-round use by a large group, and it is ready for a new owner to put it back to work.
