About this land
Escape to open, usable land in Madison Township, Lackawanna County - a rare opportunity to build your dream home in a setting that offers both country seclusion and everyday convenience. The property is mostly open field, giving you a ready canvas for your new home, with a private, secluded field in the back that makes an ideal building site tucked well away from the road. Extensive road frontage provides real flexibility for your driveway and homesite placement, while mature stone walls trace the land's history and lend timeless character throughout. A portion of the property includes wetlands - and that works in your favor. These areas create a natural buffer that helps shield your future home from neighboring development, preserving the quiet, private setting that makes this parcel special. An old garage and single-wide trailer remain on the property. Both are uninhabitable, but the existing utilities on site may be usable, potentially giving you a head start as you plan your build. The location is hard to beat. You're within easy reach of both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre for work, shopping, and dining, yet the property itself feels a world away. Weekend recreation is close at hand, with Lake Wallenpaupack, Kalahari Resorts, and Pocono Raceway all nearby, plus all the outdoor adventure the Pocono Mountains region has to offer. Whether you're envisioning a primary residence or a peaceful country retreat, this parcel delivers the space, character, and setting to bring that vision to life. Open field, historic stone walls, generous road frontage, and a private rear building site - all in one of Northeast Pennsylvania's most convenient rural locations. Opportunities to build on land like this, this close to major towns and four-season attractions, don't come along often. Come walk the property and picture the possibilities for yourself. Total acreage is comprised of 2 lots Interior stone walls Open fields great for lower construction cost and hobby farm ready More than 900' of road frontage Wetlands creating great buffer from any neighboring development Real estate agent must be present for all showings, stops and visits Garage and mobile home on the property should not be entered, viewed from exterior only

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
