What the owner loves about this home
Gently elevated off the road, this homestead is a peaceful nature-lover’s sanctuary embraced by the Shawnee National Forest on virtually three sides. Bathed in warm sunlight all day long, it offers the quiet serenity of a deep-forest setting without ever feeling closed in.
The full-length covered front porch is the heart of daily life here—a front-row seat to the beauty of the 2.15 acres. It is the perfect spot for sipping morning coffee while watching brilliant red cardinals, cheerful bluebirds visiting the feeders in both winter and summer, and hummingbirds darting by throughout the season. As twilight settles, the porch becomes an open-air retreat filled with the gentle, rhythmic calls of whippoorwills under clear country skies.
Out back, the rear deck looks straight into the lush canopy of the National Forest. White-tailed deer are frequent, peaceful visitors, wandering quietly out from the tree line and moving across the property on their way down to the pond across the road for an evening drink.
While the setting feels blissfully private and tucked away from the rush of the world, everyday convenience is remarkably close. You are only 10 minutes from daily essentials—including medical care, groceries, local dining, and the scenic Ohio River—and an easy, straight 30-minute drive to the Harrisburg Walmart. It is a rare blend of true wildlife sanctuary and comfortable country living. Priced to sell at $260,000. To make your move even easier, the seller is offering $5,000 in closing cost credits to the buyer at closing with an acceptable offer.
