It is a christams tree farm and big fields along with a real thick creek bottom. I heard that he was going to build a house and that was it. As far as Iknow they are not developing it. but who knows.

SAD TO HERE. thats the sign of the times.Especially in the North east. In chester county a acre is going for 145,000. getting really tough to find a place to hunt other then the gamelands that have 25 hunters per sq mile

Around here, a 1.5 or 2 acre house lot goes for around $200k
Figure if they divided that up into even whole 2 acre lots, that's 43 house lots @ 200k apiece equals a gross profit of 6.6 million (8.6 minus the 2) before they even put a house on them! Maybe it costs them a couple mil to put in the road and utilities.. chump change to these developers.
That's where the world is going: The dreaded "cul-de-sac" is going to kill hunting in sub-rural America as we know it! [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

KIDD I found out on Monday the 35 acres where I hunt may sell to. My 9 year old finally said she wanted to go with me this year. I prayed that God would set aside the perfect spot for us to hunt on that she would see deer and we would have a wonderful time together. I pray the same for you and your son. God is not limited by land owners. He owns all the land and the deer in it and He is the one that will bring the harvests. The Bible said all good things come from the Lord and the special time with your son isa good thing. Pray and ask God to help you and you will be amazed what He gives you. He does exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.Ask the Lord and trust himand you'll be fine.

I'm from southern York Co. and I'll confirm the prices of land in this area. Land is out of control. I just had a 47 acre farm about 1/2 mile from my property go for $600,000. 1 acre lots are going for $90,000 - $120,000.

That's cheap depending where you are. My brother-in-law just sold his less then an acre w/a 4000 sqft house on it for 1.4 mill. The kicker is, it's called a tear down because he didn't build big enough. The day he closes the dozer moves in.
On the flip side, construction companies are moving in and buying property to sit on so they have reserve to build on. You want good land to hunt? Start looking for the principles of these companies and socialize. It's not hard to get permission to hunt there if you know them.
Good luck!
