About this land
Located in Gaines Township, Tioga County, this 53.34± acre recreational property consists of three adjoining parcels totaling 36.86, 9.95 and 6.53 acres. The property is predominantly wooded and rises from the Route 6 valley into the surrounding mountain terrain, offering a combination of hardwood forest, varied topography, established access and direct adjacency to Pennsylvania State Game Lands No. 208. One of the property's strongest features is its direct boundary with State Game Lands No. 208. The Pennsylvania Game Commission lists SGL 208 at approximately 8,858± acres in Gaines and Clymer Townships. The surrounding public land provides extensive additional recreational opportunities and habitat for deer, black bear, wild turkey, ruffed grouse and other wildlife. Access is another significant attribute. The property benefits from multiple recorded rights-of-way associated with the three parcels. The 36.86± acre Mount Laurel Lane tract has deeded access, while the 6.53± acre and 9.95± acre parcels are served by a recorded 50-foot private right-of-way associated with Highland Drive. The deed also includes rights associated with access to Pennsylvania State Game Lands. Buyers should review the recorded documents to verify the exact location and permitted use of all easements and rights-of-way. Electric runs through the Mount Laurel Lane tract, adding another useful feature for potential recreational or residential use, subject to applicable approvals and utility availability. Existing roads and trails provide access into portions of the property, while the wooded slopes and mountain setting create excellent opportunities for hunting, hiking, camping and other outdoor recreation. The property is conveniently located near Galeton, Wellsboro, Pine Creek and the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon region. Nearby attractions include Leonard Harrison and Colton Point State Parks, Tioga State Forest and the Pine Creek Rail Trail, providing access to hiking, biking, fishing, sightseeing and year-round outdoor recreation. The three-parcel configuration adds versatility to the property. The 36.86± acre tract forms the larger wooded component, while the 6.53± acre and 9.95± acre parcels provide additional access from the Highland Drive side. The smaller parcels are part of the Phoenix Run Estates subdivision and are subject to recorded protective covenants and private-road provisions. Oil, gas and mineral rights do not convey and will be retained by the seller. With direct adjacency to more than 8,800 acres of State Game Lands, multiple deeded access points, electric through the Mount Laurel Lane tract and a wooded mountain setting near some of north-central Pennsylvania's best-known outdoor destinations, this property offers an attractive combination of privacy, recreation and access.

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.
