I have been offered the opportunity to move again (yeah! NOT. ). While we are definitely interested, I hate the thoughts of moving per se. However, in preparation for it, I need to divest myself of a few things that won't fit in the moving truck. We have 24 beautiful acres on the Clarion River in NW PA. 750 feet of river frontage, 300 feet on the road, and approximately 2100 feet deep. It's ready to build (it was going to be where I retired to). Utilities are brought in underground to the cleared homesite overlooking the river. Perced and neighbors all have good wells. We built a new 24x48 barn with a concrete floor. Stone driveway to the building site. Field in front and wooded in back along the river. The river is 300 feet wide, full of fish, shallowish with a rocky bottom (no mud, nice clean water), so no outboards making noise. It's ideal though for canoeing, kayaking, or a lazy afternoon floating on an inner tube. The property is behind a gate that is opened by a hydraulic arm and operated by a garage door opener clicker so you never have to get out of your vehicle. The surrounding properties (two upriver and two downriver) are all beautiful log homes, owned by professionals, on between 20 and 55 acres each. Beyond that, miles of woods and farmland. Walk out your door with a rifle or shotgun in your hand, and hunt all day. Lots of deer and turkey, and the occassional bear. I have a 100 and 200 yard range set up in the field. It's super convenient, being only five miles from the interstate exit, yet feels totally remote. 10 miles to town that has all of the essentials (grocery store, gas stations, restaurants, and even a great hunting/gun/outdoors store), or 20 miles to a bigger college town with "everything". $159,900. If anybody is seriously interested, I'd be happy to show you around. I'll get a few pictures up later today.

This is where we intended to build. Utilities are brought in underground to here. You can see the river beyond. Looking back up the hill from the building site. The view from the back of where the house would be. Another angle, more view. The dogs in the river directly behind the homesite. And lastly, a sunrise during archery season a few years ago.

Thanks guys. It's killing me to sell it. I know I'll never find anything to replace it, but I certainly can't take it with me if we move. slg888, I have that exact same shot in the winter, all snowed up!

I'm interested. My son-in law is from Knox, PA. Is it near there? Please pm me with detailed info (address, township, google earth coordinates, annual taxes, etc.} We will be in the Harrisburg PA area over the holidays and could take a look at the property then if that works for you.

That is a gorgeous looking property. What part of UT is this possible move to? My brother lives in Vernal, UT in the Northeast part of the state and the Uinta Mtns are just north of town. A beautiful place as well. Good luck. Jim

Wow, I never thought I'd see you sell that piece of property. I figured they'd bury you there... Good luck wth the move.

Please pm me with detailed info (address, township, google earth coordinates, annual taxes, etc.} Check your PM's. Taxes are $400-ish a year. We will be in the Harrisburg PA area over the holidays and could take a look at the property then if that works for you. Love to show it to you! Let me know when you're going to be here.

What part of UT is this possible move to? SLC area. Though I'd rather live in the southern part, I think I can be hapopy there as well.

What a nice piece of propery. I could never live there though, because it's north of the mason-dixon.
