Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase 30 acres of beautiful forested land with major trout stream frontage and located near the edge of the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania. This land is ideal for a permanent residence, recreational use or holding as an investment. It is very rare to find acreage along a first-rate trout stream. There also is excellent hunting and much wildlife in the area.
This is a very beautiful location. Most of the land is level creek bottom, and some is gently sloping. Your view includes many high hills surrounding the property. Autumn colors are spectacular. The property has a full quarter-mile of frontage on pristine Pithole Creek, a wonderful freestone trout stream that is about 50 feet wide. The water is cool and clear all summer long, and there are a couple of nice swimming holes on the property. The fishing is superb for both stocked fish and stream-bred brown trout. Even though it is along a major creek, almost none of the land is subject to flooding. The land is about three-quarters wooded, with many mature pines, hemlocks, oaks and cherries. There is some wetlands, which is great for wildlife. About two acres are in lawns, gardens and an orchard. There are apple and pear trees, 18 blueberry bushes, grape vines, and thousands of daylilies and irises.
The location is perfect for someone who wants to combine solitude with accessibility. The property is located about 10 miles from Oil City on a paved country road, yet there are only two neighbors and two camps within a mile. There are no structures and no signs of development for three miles both downstream and upstream from the road crossing. Electric and phone lines enter the property. Water is by an artesian well that has never dried up. Close to the Allegheny National Forest, a mile from a large State Game Lands tract, three miles from the Allegheny River and six miles from Oil Creek State Park.
There is an old mobile home and a horse barn that have little value. They could, however, be repaired.
30 Acres, Trout Stream, Great Hunting
