About this land
Located at 618 Hollow Lane near Covington, Pennsylvania, this approximately 55.86± acre Tioga County recreational property offers a strong combination of wooded acreage, established camp improvements, multiple water features and gated private-road access. The property is already set up for recreational use with electric service, a well and septic system in place. A 2018 Dutchmen Aspen Trail camper provides an established base camp, while an equipment shed offers storage for tools, outdoor gear, ATVs and property-maintenance equipment. Survey and boundary information is available, and the property boundaries have recently been marked. Access is through the Cross Creek Pines development, which features powered gates at both ends of the development road. The gated access adds an additional level of control for property owners and their guests. Road maintenance and development provisions are addressed through recorded Cross Creek Pines covenants and road-maintenance documents, which are available for buyer review. One of the property's standout features is the approximately one-quarter-acre pond. Fed by two springs and approximately 12 feet deep at the center, the pond is stocked, according to the owners, with largemouth bass, crappie and channel catfish. A small stream located near the pond is a tributary to Morris Run, and an additional wetland area contributes another water and habitat feature to the property. A network of internal trails provides access throughout the acreage for hiking, ATV riding, hunting and general property management. The combination of wooded acreage, water sources, trails and varied habitat provides multiple areas to explore and enjoy throughout the year. Wildlife observed by the owners includes whitetail deer, black bear, wild turkey, bobcat, fisher and fox. The mix of timber, water and interior access adds to the property's recreational appeal for buyers interested in hunting, wildlife watching and outdoor use. At approximately 2,100 feet in elevation, the property also offers a quiet setting with very little surrounding light pollution. According to the owners, the elevated location and open night sky make it well-suited for stargazing. The existing improvements make the property usable without starting from raw land. Electric, well, septic, camper, storage and established access are already in place, while the pond, stream, wetland and trail system add recreational variety across the acreage. The property is enrolled in Pennsylvania's Clean and Green program according to owner-provided information. Buyers should verify current enrollment, taxes and any applicable program requirements through the appropriate county records. Oil, gas and mineral rights are not owned by the sellers and will not convey with the property. With its spring-fed pond, stream, wetland, trail network, wooded acreage, existing utilities and established camp setup, this property offers a well-rounded recreational tract for hunting, fishing, hiking, ATV riding and weekend use in Tioga County.

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.
