Tucked into the mountains of Michaux State Forest near Shippensburg, this rustic off-grid recreational cabin offers the kind of getaway buyers are always searching for but rarely find. Set along Means Hollow Road on state leased ground, this property is the perfect retreat for hunters, outdoorsmen, weekend adventurers, or anyone craving a private mountain escape surrounded by thousands of acres of public forestland. Positioned in a peaceful hollow with a mountain stream flowing just off the screened-in porch, this cabin delivers the setting people picture when they think of a true Pennsylvania woodland retreat. The surrounding area has recently seen selective timbering on nearby state land, opening up portions of the forest for improved visibility, expanded views, and even better hunting opportunity. Whether you are looking for a base camp, a seasonal escape, or a place to unplug and recharge, this property offers an authentic back-to-nature experience. The cabin is being sold fully furnished and as-is, ready for immediate enjoyment. Inside, you will find classic rustic charm, while outside the location speaks for itself. With Long Pine Run Reservoir, Caledonia State Park, and extensive state forest recreation nearby, this is an ideal hub for hunting, hiking, fishing, relaxing, and making memories in the mountains. This is a true recreational property and is not permitted to be used as a primary residence. The cabin is located on Pennsylvania state leased land, and the state land lease is mandatory. Because of the lease structure, cash sale only—no mortgages or liens permitted. If you have been looking for an affordable way to own a cabin retreat in one of South Central Pennsylvania’s most sought-after outdoor settings, this is an exceptional opportunity.
