    What's special

    Sturdy block shell
    Turnkey, Income-Producing Camp & Private Riding Compound with Unmatched Location! Welcome to 1478 Bark Shanty Road in Austin, PA—the ultimate property for outdoor enthusiasts, hunting clubs, or short-term rental investors. This property features a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom modular home (750 sq ft) situated on 0.89 acres of land with zero local zoning restrictions and an affordable annual tax bill of approximately $1,100. For the past 3.5 years, this property has been operated as a highly successful, turnkey Airbnb, generating a steady and proven net profit of $8,000–$10,000 annually. It completely pays for itself from day one! The property boasts substantial infrastructure upgrades designed for group use and expansion. Three years ago, a brand-new well pump was installed inside the dedicated well house, alongside an extensive utility project that put in 6 full-hookup RV lots. Local township rules allow for up to 3 personal-use RVs to be hooked up simultaneously, making this the perfect private setup for a group of family and friends to park their rigs and set up camp together. The property operates on two independent septic systems—one dedicated to the primary structures and a separate system built out specifically for the RV lots. Additionally, the property includes a historic block building (the former StarLite Inn / Al's Diner). While it currently needs a new roof, this sturdy block shell offers incredible potential to be converted into a private "man cave," a camper lounge, a workshop, or a secure pull-in garage for all your trail rigs. The property is being sold completely "As-Is." The modular home and the block building both need new roofs, and the modular will eventually require a newer furnace. This deferred maintenance has already been heavily factored into the aggressive asking price. Because of the unique investment and commercial-grade utility infrastructure, cash buyers or buyers with creative financing are highly preferred. Clean title, owned free and clear, and ready for a smooth transfer. Contact today to request historical Airbnb financial data or to schedule your private tour!
