Description
Welcome to 1373 Jacks Mountain Rd in McVeytown, Pennsylvania, a newly constructed Amish-built cabin completed in 2025 and set on 1.87± acres in scenic Mifflin County. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a high-quality, move-in-ready cabin with modern utilities already in place, including well, septic and electric. Located just north of Route 522, the property provides convenient access while still offering a quiet rural setting surrounded by the natural beauty central Pennsylvania is known for.
The cabin features approximately 1,326 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, constructed with true craftsmanship and attention to detail. Built using post and beam construction, the structure offers both durability and timeless appeal. The exterior showcases hemlock board and batten siding, providing a classic rustic look that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Inside, the cabin is finished with tongue-and-groove pine, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The interior layout is both functional and appealing, beginning with a well-designed kitchen that features rustic cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers. This space combines traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience, offering ample storage and usability for everyday living or hosting guests. The kitchen flows naturally into the main living room, creating an open and comfortable gathering area. The living room provides a welcoming space to relax, entertain, or unwind after a day outdoors, with natural wood finishes enhancing the cabin’s character.
The layout includes one bedroom, one full bathroom and a spacious loft that can serve multiple purposes, including additional sleeping space or the potential for a larger second bathroom. The open interior design allows for flexibility and functionality, making it suitable for both personal use and income-generating opportunities.
Comfort is ensured year-round with an electric mini split system that provides both heating and cooling. The build quality of this cabin stands out, with careful attention given to materials and construction methods. This is not a typical cabin build, but one where no corners were cut, offering long-term durability and reliability.
One of the standout features of this property is the large wraparound covered front porch. This space is ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings and seasonal views of the area. Whether you are looking for a quiet retreat or a place to host guests, the outdoor living space adds significant value and usability.
Location is a key advantage of this property. It is situated within a short driving distance to State College, making it an attractive option for those looking to enjoy Penn State events, dining, and amenities while staying outside the immediate congestion of town. The strong proximity to State College significantly enhances the appeal for short-term rental use, especially during football weekends, university events, and peak travel seasons.
In addition to State College, the property is conveniently located near Lewistown and Huntingdon, providing access to shopping, services, and additional recreational opportunities. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being close to the Juniata River, known for fishing and kayaking, as well as Raystown Lake, one of Pennsylvania’s top destinations for boating, camping, and year-round recreation.
This property is well-suited for a variety of uses, including a private getaway, full-time residence, or short-term rental investment. With its modern utilities, new construction, strong rental potential, and prime central Pennsylvania location, this cabin offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term value.
