Overview

Description

Tucked deep within 8.6 private, wooded acres, this property offers the kind of seclusion and natural setting that's increasingly hard to find. The long approach through the trees opens to a rustic home with stone and wood character, a spacious driveway, and an attached two-car garage. Inside, the layout delivers generous square footage and multiple rooms ready for reimagining, making it an ideal opportunity for buyers who want land, privacy, and the freedom to shape a home to their own vision. The main living area features a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove insert and large windows overlooking the surrounding forest, creating a warm, cabin-style atmosphere. The kitchen blends natural wood cabinetry with modern appliances and a functional peninsula layout, offering a solid foundation for updates or a full redesign. Additional rooms throughout the home provide flexible space for bedrooms, offices, or hobby areas, with skylights and natural light enhancing the upper level. There are two full bathrooms, a laundry area, and a full basement that adds significant storage and workshop potential. With no HOA or community restrictions, the acreage invites possibilities--gardens, trails, recreational use, or simply the peace of owning a large, private parcel in the Poconos. This is a rare opportunity for buyers and investors seeking land, privacy, and a home with character that can be transformed into a personalized retreat or full-time residence, all while remaining accessible to town conveniences, outdoor recreation, and major Pocono attractions.
