Property Description
Set on 4.8 mostly wooded mountainside acres in Peters Township, this expansive circa-1879 property offers a rare blend of history, flexibility, and income potential. With 3,590 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, and 2 baths, the home is currently used as a single residence but is already equipped with three separate electric meters, providing an excellent framework for conversion into two or three units with the right updates and improvements.
Inside, the home showcases some original wood floors, large living spaces, and two working wood-burning fireplaces that add warmth, charm, and character rarely found in today's homes. A metal roof in good condition and individual baseboard electric heat support long-term durability and flexible future layouts. Multiple porches invite you to enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings and seasonal mountain views.
A truly unique feature of the property is the 18x16 stone Colonial-style outbuilding, dating back to 1765, complete with a loft, fireplace, and its own spring fed well. This structure offers potential as an Airbnb, guest house, studio, or private retreat, subject to buyer due diligence.
The property is served by public sewer, a significant advantage for investors considering additional units. Exterior improvements include a paved driveway, a newer 24x24 two-car detached garage, a 20x19 one-car garage with an attached shop, and a 10x24 shed, offering ample space for vehicles, storage, and hobbies.
Located in the Tuscarora School District, and in Peters Township where no zoning currently applies, this property presents a rare opportunity for both investors and owner-occupants seeking space, privacy, and upside.
Ideal for the buyer with vision — restore, reconfigure, or reimagine this one-of-a-kind property and unlock its full potential.
