78.4 Acres of Recreational Land for Sale in Polk, Pennsylvania
Old Route 8 Lot WP001, Polk, PA 16342
This super unique recreational property has two gorgeous streams, Hemlock valleys and hardwood ridges. The access to the property is through a long right of way and would require some excavation and gravel near the end to be accessible by motor vehicle. In the current condition, the access is doable with an all-terrain vehicle. There are two streams on the property the larger of which is Victory Run, a gorgeous riffling stream. The timber was cut a handful of years ago but there is a nice residual stand of hardwoods and thick regeneration. The large mature Hemlocks that line the stream banks are breathtaking and they provide great cover for the deer. Many young conifers cover the forest floor and are littered with deer sign. A decent trail system around the property is easily navigated with an ATV or UTV. The diverse terrain adds to the beauty of the property. Along Victory Run stands one of only 22 (or so) iron furnaces dating back to the mid-1800s. The condition and workmanship of the furnace is amazing. The deed does have restrictions against damaging or removing the furnace. The New Route 8 does bi-sect the property and strands approximately 13 acres across Route 8 with no legal access at this time. There is a great hunting history on this property and additionally, there is the potential for joining a bordering hunting lease. Any seller-owned oil, gas and mineral rights will convey to the buyers. This property access is not just for anybody, it will take a person who is willing to leave the road as it is or do some work to make the property more readily accessible. If this sounds like the parcel you have been waiting for, reach out to the listing agent for more details or to schedule your private tour!
