Description
Situated in the quiet countryside along Sleepy Hollow Road in Perry County, this 10+/- acre property offers a mix of homesite potential and recreational land, ideal for those seeking a balance between accessibility and privacy. As you arrive, you’ll cross a small bridge over a meandering stream that flows through the tract before continuing up a shared private gravel drive that leads into the property. Electric service runs along this drive, simplifying future building plans.
The terrain features a beautiful south-facing hillside that captures sunlight throughout the day. From the building site atop the slope, you can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding valley, taking in both sunrises and sunsets from your own piece of Pennsylvania’s countryside. The approved perk test ensures readiness for construction, allowing for a future home, cabin or recreational retreat.
The land includes a diverse timber mix of hardwood and softwood species, including white, red and chestnut oaks. This composition not only provides a healthy forest stand but also supports excellent wildlife habitat. Whitetail deer and wild turkey are frequent visitors, drawn to the acorns and natural cover throughout the property. Whether you prefer quiet mornings in the woods, working on small food plots or simply relaxing by the stream, the land offers space for recreation and enjoyment.
Enrolled in Pennsylvania’s Clean and Green program, the property benefits from reduced taxes while maintaining its rural character. The combination of natural beauty, hunting potential and buildable opportunity makes this an appealing choice for a wide range of buyers - whether you’re searching for a weekend getaway or a permanent country homesite.
Located conveniently within reach of several towns and recreational attractions, this property combines seclusion with accessibility. Nearby State Game Lands 170 and 256, the Appalachian Trail, and the Juniata and Susquehanna Rivers all offer extensive opportunities for outdoor adventure just a short drive away.
This tract provides a rare opportunity to own a manageable-sized piece of land that offers both immediate recreational use and long-term residential potential. With its blend of timber, water, wildlife and prepared utilities, it’s ready for your vision - whether that’s a hunting camp, family retreat or a custom home overlooking Shermans Creek Valley.
