This property will be offered at Public Auction on Monday, August 3, 2026 @ 6pm. The listing price is the opening bid only and in no way reflects the final sale price. 10% down due at auction, 2% transfer tax to be paid by the purchaser, real estate taxes prorated. This country property, set in scenic Rapho Township farmland, features beautiful rolling pasture and tillable acreage, offering an appealing blend of open space and agricultural potential. The first floor of the home includes an eat-in kitchen, living room, pantry/dining area, laundry room, full bathroom, and a versatile bedroom or office space. The second floor offers an open landing area, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The basement is currently unfinished, providing ample storage and future-use potential. Outside, a covered porch provides a relaxing spot to take in the surrounding countryside. The property is further enhanced by several outbuildings, including a bank barn, horse barn (recently renovated), and chicken coop, making it well suited for livestock, storage, or hobby farming. While the existing home is adequate, the setting and layout would also make this an ideal location for new construction. Enrolled in Pennsylvania’s Clean and Green program, the property may offer favorable tax benefits. Overall, this property presents a rare opportunity combining scenic farmland, functional improvements, and long-term potential.
