Welcome to your home and recreation paradise all-in-one. This incredible property boasts over eight acres of endless enjoyment. The half-acre pond is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, plus ice skating in the Winter. Apple and pear trees, blackberry, blueberry, red raspberry, and black raspberry bushes, chestnut, and walnut trees all provide a bountiful harvest. The field can host soccer, football, kickball, baseball, and frisbee games. Rough Run Creek meanders through the woods which are perfect for more fishing, hiking, and exploring. Mature trees and bushes abound for climbing, hammocking, and creating secret spaces, the hillsides are great for mountain biking and sled riding, and the whole yard is fantastic for dirt biking and quads. The property supports more native wildlife than you can imagine, and also hosts a marshland with abundant cattails.
