Extraordinary Riverfront Retreat on 12.91 Acres! Perched on a hillside overlooking the Juniata River, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath log home captures sweeping views of the river, mountains, and nearby golf course. Designed for relaxation and unforgettable gatherings, the property features an expansive, level riverfront entertaining area that has even hosted weddings. Enjoy the heated saltwater in-ground pool, hot tub, partially covered wraparound porch, pavilion, Amish-built gazebo, and hammock pergola. A game room/bar takes entertaining to another level, with a side patio and front that opens to showcase the expansive views! Discover a naturally fed pond stocked with fish, a children's playset, and a currently unused chicken coop. Logging trails wind through the wooded acreage for hiking and exploring, while direct river access invites kayaking, fishing, and days spent on the water. Inside, the warmth of log home living continues, with a lower-level bunk room offering additional space for family and guests. Conveniently located a short drive from Raystown Lake and Penn State, this one-of-a-kind retreat blends privacy, recreation, and memorable spaces to gather. Whether a full-time residence or weekend getaway, it's a place to make lasting memories! *All information including taxes, square footage, coordinate location and land quantities are estimated.
