Description

A tract of this size, in this location, does not come along often in the Laurel Highlands. These acres sit in the four season heart of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, a short drive from both Seven Springs Mountain Resort and Hidden Valley Resort and close to the Donegal interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Pittsburgh is roughly an hour to the west. That combination of mountain seclusion and interstate access is exactly what makes this corner of the state work as a weekend destination, and it is what gives this property a ceiling well above its current use. The tract is predominantly wooded, with mature hardwood cover, rolling to sloping terrain, and the kind of interior privacy that 129.6± acres buys you. Several natural building sites are already evident on the property, elevated benches and openings that would sit a home, a lodge, or a cluster of cabins with woods behind and no neighbors in view. There is more than enough ground here to develop and still hold substantial timbered acreage behind whatever you build. The property is improved with two older homes and associated outbuildings. All of the improvements are in poor condition and are offered strictly as is. The value in this offering is in the land. That said, the existing homesteads mean established access and a long history of residential use on the tract. Donegal Township does not currently administer a township zoning ordinance, buyer to verify with the Township and Westmoreland County Planning, which opens a wide door for a buyer with vision. Subdivide into several private wooded homesites and keep the balance in timber. Build a family compound with getaway cottages tucked along the ridges. Or develop the property as a glamping, cabin, or campground destination serving the year round resort traffic that already drives past this area, ski and snowboard season at Seven Springs and Hidden Valley, then mountain biking, hiking, whitewater, and fall color the rest of the year. Ohiopyle State Park, Laurel Hill State Park, Forbes State Forest, the Great Allegheny Passage, and Fallingwater are all within an easy drive. The Laurel Highlands hold some of the best big woods hunting in western Pennsylvania. This is quality whitetail country with a strong turkey population and genuine black bear activity, and 129.6± contiguous acres of cover gives you room to manage it, trails, food plots in the openings, and stand access without ever crowding yourself. Whether you are looking for a large private retreat, a timber and recreation investment, or a development play in one of Pennsylvania's most visited mountain regions, this tract gives you the acreage, the location, and the flexibility to make it happen.
