About this land
Rare opportunity to own acres of pristine, off-grid recreational timberland in the heart of Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Nestled one and a half miles back on a gravel dead-end road, this secluded hunting and recreational tract borders two of southwestern Pennsylvania's most iconic natural landmarks - Ohiopyle State Park to the south and the Bear Run Nature Preserve lands to the east. Properties of this caliber, with this level of privacy, natural beauty, and conservation-bordered boundaries, simply do not come available often. The land is blanketed in mature hardwoods, offering a diverse and dynamic landscape that includes steep terrain, hardwood benches, ridge tops, creek bottoms, and level ground - providing exceptional habitat diversity for wildlife. Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts will immediately recognize the quality of this tract. Abundant wildlife sign has been observed throughout the property, including whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear, making this a true multi-species recreational paradise in one of western Pennsylvania's most productive wildlife corridors. Water resources are outstanding. Lick Run crosses a corner of the property, and several unnamed secondary streams and natural springs are distributed throughout the tract, providing consistent, year-round water sources that are a major draw for wildlife and add significant value to any recreational or hunting property in southwestern PA. A well-maintained network of old logging roads winds throughout the entire tract, making navigation easy and property showings a breeze via side-by-side or ATV. Whether you're scouting for deer, checking trail cameras, or simply exploring your land, you'll have excellent access to virtually every corner of this 211.5-acre property. Located completely off the grid, this parcel offers a rare opportunity for true self-sufficient outdoor living. Bringing conventional power to this remote location is virtually impossible, but a well-positioned clearing deep within the tract provides an ideal building site for an off-grid cabin or camp powered by a solar energy system. Prefer something more turnkey? Pull in a camper or RV and start enjoying this incredible property immediately. The location - just one mile from where Bidwell Road terminates at the Youghiogheny River - puts world-class whitewater paddling, hiking, and fishing within easy reach. This is the kind of property that defines what it means to own a true piece of wild Pennsylvania. Whether you're searching for a premier hunting property in Fayette County, a private off-grid retreat, or a high-quality timber investment in southwestern PA, this tract delivers on all fronts. Recreation properties bordering Ohiopyle State Park rarely reach the open market - don't miss your chance to make this one yours. This listing is shown by appointment only. Buyers must be accompanied by a licensed real estate agent. Buyers are strongly cautioned not to enter or walk the property unattended.

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.
