About this home
Nestled in the forest of Lower Pottsgrove Township is a property you don’t want to miss! There aren’t too many properties left this size with the amount of potential to be whatever you want it to be! Within minutes from town to buy supplies or any medical needs, this space offers both the connivence of peace and privacy and the choice to get what you need only a short drive away. Because this property is not move in ready- it will need to be purchased with cash or construction loan. What sits on the property is a newly framed up and weathered tight building, new metal roof, new water pump and pressure tank with a brand new water softener. It will need a septic, plumbing and electrical work because it is an empty box waiting for you to customize it to your taste. With oversized headers already in place for windows or doors of your choosing, and no interior framing, you can choose your layout - leaving this a completely blank canvas to fit your personal needs. There are also 2, 3 car detached garages, a 30,000 gallon gunite pool that needs work, two sheds and a huge deck for camping down at the creek. The property is already set up with inoculated logs that will fruit mushrooms such as shiitake, lions mane, chicken of the woods, oysters and turkey tail. The property also has fruit trees such as apples, peaches and figs. Blueberry bushes and strawberries were recently established in raised beds. Grape vines, raspberries and blackberries are planted along with sun chokes, horseradish and elderberries. There are several different medicinal herbs and flowers within the garden space that will return for you every Spring. The property is mostly heavily wooded with sugar maple, hickory, oak and beech. Tapping for maple syrup has been done by owners and oak and beech is an excellent substrate for shiitake mushrooms to grow on, leaving you the resources to continue to grow mushrooms. The land has been grazed for the last 5 years using a method known as Management-Intensive Grazing or rotational grazing. This has already begun the process of regenerating the land and leaving the soil much more fertile. This property is ideal for the beginner homesteaders, contractors that can do the work themselves or the investors that would like to fix to rent or split the property into 2 parcels. The possibilities are really endless! It is a unique and very special property you need to come and see!
