0 State Route 534, White Haven, PA 18661

Discover a wooded, flat-terrain tract in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, offering a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and buildability just outside White Haven. This property borders both the former Mountain Laurel Golf Club and Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 40, a 6,202-acre state-owned tract managed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission in Kidder Township. Together with the adjoining ground, this location puts a buyer within reach of more than 6,000 acres of public hunting land, an exceptional amount of accessible acreage for anyone looking to hunt deer, black bear, or wild turkey without leaving their own neighborhood. The property is zoned Resort Commercial (R/RC) under Kidder Township's zoning ordinance, a district designed to accommodate private recreation and lodging uses such as ski resorts and golf courses alongside permanent and resort-oriented residential and commercial development. That designation adds meaningfully to this tract's flexibility, opening up possible uses beyond a single-family home, cabin, or straightforward recreational property, subject to township review and approval. The property itself carries meaningful timber value, with a mature wooded canopy across the tract. Unlike much of the surrounding mountain terrain, this land is flat, which opens up numerous buildable areas and makes the ground easy to walk, hunt, clear, or develop. A newly constructed driveway and gate are now in place, giving the property secure, ready-made access from the road, an improvement that removes one of the biggest hurdles land buyers face when evaluating a wooded parcel. The tract carries 100 feet of road frontage, keeping legal and physical access straightforward. Zoning approval and build permits are already in hand for a single-family detached dwelling and a pole barn, giving a buyer a significant head start on construction without the delays that typically come with the permitting process. Location is a major part of this property's appeal. It sits just outside White Haven, an established Pocono foothills community, and is only about a minute from the Interstate 80 interchange at White Haven (Exit 273), putting the entire Northeast Pennsylvania highway network, and the Lehigh Valley and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metro areas beyond it, within easy reach. The surrounding region is known for its rolling, forested terrain, trout streams, and public recreation land, including the neighboring Hickory Run State Park, which borders State Game Lands 40 to the south. Whether the goal is to build a home or cabin on flat, wooded ground, hold the timber as a long-term asset, or use the land as a base camp for hunting deer, bear, and turkey with direct access to the adjoining public land, this Carbon County tract offers a level of flexibility that is difficult to find. With zoning permits already secured for a home and pole barn, a Resort Commercial designation that broadens future possibilities, flat and buildable terrain, established road access with a new driveway and gate already installed, and a boundary shared with state game lands, this is an efficient opportunity for a buyer who wants recreational land and future building potential in the same parcel.
