Property Description
There's a certain kind of buyer who reads "backs to state forest" and immediately wants to know how literal that is. Here, it's completely literal. Walk out the back of this property and you're in Michaux — no trailhead to drive to, no lot to park in, no gate. Thousands of acres of ridge, hardwood, and mountain laurel start where the property stops. If you hunt, that's your season handled. If you hike, that's your Saturday. And if you just want to sit outside with coffee and watch the light come through the trees, the large front deck does that job every morning of the year.
The house itself is a 1990 rancher, 1,524 square feet above grade and about 2,140 finished with the lower level — with roughly 2,868 usable square feet all in. One level living, is worth more than people give it credit for once you've hauled groceries up a flight of stairs a few thousand times.
The kitchen has been renovated with lots of counter space, a breakfast bar and stainless appliances, and the attached morning room off the back is the room you'll end up in without meaning to. The primary suite is a real one — double vanity, jetted soaking tub, walk-in closet — not a slightly larger bedroom with a label. Three bedrooms and two full baths total, with a mix of LVP, wood plank, and carpet, plus a few strategic casement windows that crank open and actually pull air through.
Now the part that matters on a mountain property: the mechanicals are sorted. Primary heat is radiant floor, run off a tankless boiler — the kind of warmth you feel underfoot on a January morning rather than hear rattling out of a vent. Electric baseboard stands by as backup, so there's redundancy when the weather turns. Plumbing is PEX throughout. The radiant heat and water heater were installed March 2025. The full partially finished basement underneath and an oversized one-car garage plus space for the mower, and whatever else the season requires.
The lot is rolling, wooded, and just under half an acre off a quiet road in Franklin Township — the kind of road where you notice a car because there usually isn't one. Gettysburg Area School District. Caledonia State Park and the Appalachian Trail are a short drive, and Route 30 puts Chambersburg, Gettysburg, and the daily commute within easy reach.
