About this land

37± acres in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, set up for two things at once: serious deer hunting and a future build. The woods hold the cover and travel corridors that keep deer moving through, while the existing open ground gives you a ready site for a primary home, a weekend place, or a cabin. All oil, gas, and mineral rights convey with the sale - increasingly rare in this part of Pennsylvania, and it means the next owner controls what's beneath the surface as well as above it. Standing timber provides canopy and cover across the wooded portions and the open acreage keeps site prep straightforward. Excavation will still be part of any build, though tree clearing is minimal. Electric service runs nearby. Access is by dirt road frontage, with Interstate 81 an easy drive out. That puts the property within reasonable reach of Scranton and the broader Lackawanna Valley, and Dickson City sits under twenty miles away for groceries, retail, restaurants, and employment. For recreation beyond the property line, Elk Mountain Ski Resort is close by, along with a nearby golf course. Susquehanna County offers state game lands, trout water, and the rolling terrain of 37± acres with this combination of access, utilities, and rights is a practical starting point for a hunting retreat, a homestead, or a long-term land hold. All oil, gas, and mineral rights convey Not enrolled in Clean & Green Ski slopes and golf courses minutes away Easy quick access to I-81 Country region with a 20 minute commute to shopping, work and more

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
