About this home
Imagine coming home to 5.78 acres of pure freedom, no community dues, no HOA rules, just your land. This rare property gives you room to breathe, explore, and create the lifestyle you've always wanted. Wake up to the peaceful sight of your own pond, where seasonal birds like the Florida Limpkin and Canadian geese stop to visit. Wander down to your 400+ feet along the stocked Tobyhanna Creek, where you can fish, relax, or simply enjoy the sound of moving water. You have exclusive access to some of the best streamside fishing in the area. The Duplex is perfect for generating income or hosting extended family. Both Units have 2 bedrooms and full bathrooms and laundry, this is an incredible setup for rental income or multigenerational living.
