Property Description
A peaceful slice of Northeastern Pennsylvania awaits on 12.62 acres of rural Thompson countryside, offering the ideal blend of privacy, natural beauty, and a head start on building your dream home. The land features a gentle slope toward the back of the property perfect for capturing view. While the area surrounding the existing foundation provides flat, usable yard space for gardens, play areas, or outdoor living. A quality Superior Walls foundation (62' x 33') with poured concrete basement floor is already in place, rough‑plumbed for a bathroom and designed as a walkout daylight basement, giving you incredible potential for lower‑level living or recreation space. The first‑floor subfloor has been installed, and the septic design and permit are complete, making it easy to continue the build with existing plans or bring your own vision to life. The property is enrolled in Clean and Green, offering valuable tax savings. The setting is everything you'd hope for in rural Pennsylvania—pretty views, open space, and even the possibility of creating your own pond site, where you could enjoy slow mornings with coffee or unwind on your future deck or patio while taking in the peaceful landscape. It's a place designed for quiet living, easy entertaining, and year‑round outdoor enjoyment. Recreation is right at your fingertips: Elk Mountain, NEPA's premier skiing destination, is only about 15 minutes away, and the O&W Trails—ideal for hiking, biking, and snowmobiling—are under 10 minutes from your door. State game lands are also close by for those who enjoy hunting and exploring the outdoors. There is survey map of the property.
