Property Description
This is not just a home. It’s a private Pocono compound built for those who need space to build, store, create, and escape. Set on over 6 wooded acres within Hickory Run Forest, this property delivers a rare combination of land, infrastructure, and flexibility that is nearly impossible to replicate in today’s market. The centerpiece is a $200,000+ Amish-built 60x40 detached garage and workshop designed for serious use. Featuring three oversized bays, full concrete flooring, electric, extensive lighting, built-in workbenches, utility sink, and a finished upper-level loft, this space is ideal for contractors, car collectors, hobbyists, or anyone seeking a true live-work environment. Whether you're storing equipment, working on projects, or creating a private retreat for your passions, this structure defines the property. The main residence is a handcrafted log home offering authentic mountain character and a warm, lodge-style atmosphere. Inside, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and tongue-and-groove woodwork create a timeless interior anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the main living area. The open-concept layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, providing a functional space for everyday living or weekend gatherings. A loft overlooks the main level, offering additional flexibility for sleeping, office, or recreational use. The walk-out lower level adds usable space for storage, workshop expansion, or recreation, while the surrounding acreage provides privacy, separation, and long-term flexibility. Multiple included parcels enhance the scale of the property and contribute to a setting that feels secluded, yet remains accessible. Located just minutes from Jim Thorpe, the PA Turnpike, and year-round Pocono attractions including hiking, skiing, and outdoor recreation, this property offers both convenience and escape. Whether used as a primary residence, second home, or a functional live-work compound, the value here is in the combination of land, usability, and infrastructure. This is a property designed for a specific buyer. Someone who understands the value of space, privacy, and purpose-built improvements. Opportunities like this are limited, and replacement cost alone makes this a compelling offering in the current market. Property is being sold as-is. Buyer to verify all measurements, parcel information, and permitted uses. Multiple tax parcels included in the sale.
