In the heart of Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley, where fertile farmland meets the quiet ridges of the Appalachian foothills, sits a place where life slows down and the land begins to tell its story. Tucked along a winding lane beneath mature shade trees, this 40b1; acre working farm blends natural beauty,… Read More productive land, and a timber frame lodge-style home into a setting that feels both private and timeless. A flagstone walkway leads to the front porch, where mornings begin with coffee and birdsong and evenings end watching the sun fade overhead. Inside, walnut beams frame the foyer and reflect the craftsmanship carried throughout the home. The living room offers a warm welcome, while the recently remodeled kitchen features quartersawn white oak flooring, custom cabinetry, and durable countertops designed for everyday living. The main level includes a full bath, home office with walnut built-ins, bright laundry room, and a mudroom finished with authentic barnwood. Upstairs, the primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms, and two full baths. The third-floor loft provides a private retreat with gable ceilings and wooded views, ideal as a bedroom, lounge, or guest area. The finished lower level adds flexibility with a bedroom, bathroom, hobby space, cold storage, and a second kitchen with walkout access to the yard. For those who appreciate the efficiency of an outdoor wood boiler, the home is already equipped to take advantage of it. Prefer the simplicity of modern electric heating and cooling instead? Brand new mini-split systems were installed in 2025, providing efficient heat and air conditioning throughout the home. Outside, the property invites you to enjoy the land. A fire ring and picnic area create a perfect gathering place, while a professionally installed zipline stretches across the hillside for family fun and adventure! The acreage balances farming and wildlife habitat. Mature oak and hickory trees provide ideal cover for deer and turkey, while three established food plots help support consistent hunting opportunities. Apple and pear plantings add natural forage, and a watering hole encourages steady wildlife movement. Several large whitetail deer have been taken off this property producing over 130-inch class whitetail bucks. Agricultural improvements include a traditional post-and-beam bank barn with chicken coop above and milking stalls below, fenced pastures suitable for horses or cattle, a large equipment shop, and a greenhouse for early planting. The property also includes a productive garden, berry bushes, tea plantings, and a grove of mature sugar maples ready for syrup production. Rare tree plantings such as Chinese hemlock and dove tree add botanical character, while managed black walnut trees contribute long-term timber value. Three wells serve the property, including irrigation and backup supply. Located just minutes from Interstate 81, the farm offers convenient access to Carlisle, Harrisburg, and surrounding towns while maintaining the privacy and resources of a true rural retreat. Whether used for farming, homesteading, hunting, or simply enjoying life on the land, this Cumberland Valley farm offers a rare opportunity to live where craftsmanship, nature, and tradition come together.
