473 Mahanoy Valley Rd Duncannon, PA 17020
Description
Set on 16.83 acres along Mahanoy Valley Road in Perry County, this property offers a balance of residential comfort and natural land features in a quiet rural setting. Located in the Newport School District, it's truly a space for outdoor living with quick access to local amenities all while maintaining privacy. The property includes a single-story ranch-style home with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. Situated above the front yard and pasture, the home overlooks open ground with broad views of the surrounding countryside and mountain hillsides of the State Game Lands across the street. A detached garage provides space for parking or a workshop and a separate equipment barn offers storage for tools, implements or recreational vehicles. The land features a mix of open pasture and wooded areas, offering multiple potential uses. Portions of old pasture fencing remain and could be repaired or replaced to support livestock or hobby farming. Trails weave through the woods, leading to a spring-fed pond and continuing down toward Losh Run, which flows along the property’s boundary. This combination of pond and creek frontage adds to the property’s habitat diversity and scenic appeal. The area is known for producing large whitetail deer and the property offers hunting opportunities supported by its wooded cover, open travel corridors, and water sources. The internal trail system makes it possible to reach much of the acreage on foot, horse or by ATV, providing access for hunting, hiking or simply enjoying time outdoors. Despite its private setting, the property is close to nearby towns. Newport is approximately 6 miles North, offering schools, shopping and services. Duncannon is about 7 miles southeast, providing additional amenities and commuter access and Harrisburg is only a 20 minute drive! Envision your young family playing and enjoying the outdoors, growing up in the creek and the pond. Campfires and hosting of family and friends, taking in the views and making memories. Properties like this don't come up often and certainly not at a price like this! Oil, gas and mineral rights will convey with the sale. The property is served by existing utilities and has year-round access from Mahanoy Valley Road with a shared driveway.
