A rare chance to control nearly 10 contiguous acres in one of Luzerne County’s most desirable lake communities. This 9.58-acre wooded tract sits just off Lake Silkworth, tucked behind an established neighborhood with access from a paved public road and quick connection to Route 29. Large parcels of this size in such a mature lake area almost never hit the market, making this an exceptional opportunity for builders, investors, or anyone looking to create a private retreat. An older survey shows a historic lot layout with dozens of small lots envisioned on the property, underscoring the land’s past consideration for residential development. While any new project must comply with current zoning and subdivision regulations, the legacy plan highlights how the site could be reimagined for modern-sized homesites, a cluster of cabins, or a private family compound. The terrain is generally wooded with a gentle roll, offering multiple potential building areas and natural buffers. This parcel also comes with shared lake access and rights via a right-of-way directly in front of Lake Ave, on the lake just below the property. Recreation is close at hand: enjoy boating, fishing, and swimming on Lake Silkworth along with easy access to nearby state lands and the broader Back Mountain/Wilkes-Barre region for shopping, dining, and services. This is an ideal land-bank play or a candidate for a thoughtful future subdivision in a steadily tightening lake market. Buyer to perform all due diligence and verify zoning, utilities, access, and any potential subdivision or development options. PIN: 40-G5S1 -002-002-000 Tax assessed: $66,500
