Raise your family or retreat in a natural setting where civilization is at your fingertips, not your back door. This large home is surrounded by, and filled with the beauty of nature. It borders Rothrock State Forest and Sinking Creek, with hundreds of miles of forestry roads for horseback riding, XC skiing, biking etc. The third largest lake in Centre County is only a mile away for great morning kayaking, sailing or fishing, and it is just a short drive to Penn State University. Enjoy hiking among the evergreens, springs, a small pond and some open pasture with priceless mountain views. The Colyer area is known as ideal for horses, hiking, kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, snowmobiling and cross country skiing. Entertain in the open concept living/dining room that leads to a large screened in porch where you can enjoy the sounds of nature, or watch the stars from the large elevated deck. Listen to owls call across the valleys or watch from the screened porch as deer come down to the springs and ponds for a drink. There are four “official” bedrooms, with the potential to have six by making a small upgrade to the current septic system (permit already on file if desired). Consider a country inn, B&B venture (B&B permit already on file), Penn State retreat or the home you've been searching for to live the outdoor lifestyle. If you want a house to raise a future family, you can live in one part of the house (there is a separate entrance to the upstairs) and run the remainder as an inn or B&B until you need the extra space. The basement and garage have extra high ceilings so could be finished for additional space. There are several sheds including a log cabin, wood shed and large concrete-floor utility shed. This home was professionally engineered by a local company and built to high standards by the owner and a well-respected area contractor. The home was intended to be the owner’s retirement home. The owner and his family lived in the home for 25 years and have what is needed to homestead here comfortably, living off of the land. A Snow plow, loader/hoe tractor and implements are available for separate purchase to the buyer.
