For the most part, these are properties where you can plant a home, keep some critters, and just enjoy your country life. If you want to grow some specialty crops or do some light farming, this can be accommodated here as well.
#1178 - Western Montgomery County. NEW LISTING: "The Cornucopia" SOLD
- 28 mostly open acres - Tiny house - literally tons of fruit and nuts - private, with views If you are into huge variety of trees, fruits and nuts, then look no further - there’s never been a better, not in our experience. But there’s much more to recommend this place. 28.6 surveyed acres (can easily be subdivided), over 1800’ of road frontage, yet private, with exceptional 180 degree views. It is in an Amish area, quiet, yet less than 10 minutes to town, and very easily accessible to the produce auction too.
Most of the land is rolling and is in hay, yet there is a small amount of mature woods in 2 areas. Variety of soils, mostly excellent, all with southern exposure. There is a seasonal stream and a good pond site. And a drilled well. The tiny home (12X25”) is cute as it could be. Beautiful plank floors. It smells great too, woody. There are 2 shallow sleeping lofts. Included is a parlour stove. It has a composting toilet (near, but outside - no odor, clean), and a rainwater tank next to it. Hidden nearby is a fully cemented earth-covered structure for produce storage. Taxes are $1513.79 (no Star exemption taken) and it is priced to sell at only $140000. You’ll not find another like it, anywhere, at any price. |
OK, here’s a partial list of what is growing: a variety of apples, Asian pearl (2O plums (10) cherries, peaches, walnuts, pecans, gooseberries, rose and rose hips, pear-apple (a cross between the two), pear, grapes, a variety of herbs, hazelnuts, oaks, kiwi (2), alder, raspberries, …

#1170 - Central Montgomery County - SOLD - went well above starting price, multiple offers
- "Waterfall Heaven" - 30.4 private wooded acres - Long creek frontage w/numerous falls & swimming holes Want complete privacy and stunning scenery? This is it. We have 30.4 surveyed wooded acres accessed via a deeded right of way on a once-paved abandoned town road. At the end is a cabin and a >100’ waterfall with a swimming hole at its base. I have not measured it but can tell you that it takes a 140’ rope to rappel from the top to the water below. The water flows over flat rock and is surprisingly warm in the summer. In the winter, spectacular ice formations are found. Downstream in the gorge are a series of smaller waterfalls with their own swimming holes. One, the “Blue Hole” is said to be bottomless. But I’ll bet 15’ is more like it.
The property is generally steep with scattered leveler plateaus. It was once a Boy Scout camp and foundations for their buildings can still be found. It is heavily forested with mostly mixed hardwoods and it has been over 4 decades since any timber has been harvested. Side streams enter at two places and some of them have waterfalls as well. Yep, it’s scenic. And a short distance to I 90, though you’d never guess it when you visit there. The cabin was never quite completed. It measures 20x28’ and is situated to have a straight-on view of the main waterfall. It has a cathedral ceiling in part with a stairs to a single bedroom on the second floor. A deck wraps around 2 sides. And it is insulated so it can be used in the winter. You will need to replace the windows and some of the sheetrock as they have been broken over the years. It is about 1/3 mile from the cabin to the paved road and electric power. |
The owner bought it nearly 40 years ago to use for hunting and recreation but in recent years has not been able to visit due to the unexpected health issues that now prompt him to sell it. Taxes are estimated to be under $2000.

#1172 - Western Montgomery County. SOLD Immediately
30 acres 1/2 tillable lots of frontage A 30.4 acre piece of land, nearly square, with paved country roads on two sides., 2283’ of road frontage. Neighbors are a quiet mixture of Amish and non-Amish farmers + a few middle class working and retired folk. There are 2 fields with woodland between them. The 16 acres open land is divided about equally between the fields. The lower one was pastured most recently. They are rented to a local farmer, but you would not be bound by a lease and are free to use them anyway you please. In the woods is a seasonal stream. It has been 10 years since any timber was taken, so you are nearing another potential harvest there. Taxes are very low, under $550, it is priced to meet the market at $75000. |
