51± Acre Pocono Development Opportunity | Existing Income The Pocono Mountains remain one of Pennsylvania's premier tourist destinations, drawing visitors from New York, Philadelphia, and New Jersey seeking outdoor recreation, hospitality experiences, and short-term rental stays just hours from major metro areas. Opportunities of this scale and flexibility are increasingly rare. Located in Middle Smithfield Township, 174 Sports Camp Rd offers approximately 51.5 acres with existing infrastructure, current rental income, large recreational areas, multiple buildings, and substantial long-term development potential. Formerly operated as the All-Star Resort complex, the property is a rare find for developers, hospitality operators, investors, or visionary buyers looking to acquire a large-scale Pocono property where much of the early groundwork has already begun. Unlike raw land, this property already includes residential rental units and storage facilities generating income while future plans are explored. Large existing structures, open recreational areas, wooded trails, scenic natural features, and a substantial pond create opportunities for adaptive reuse, event space development, hospitality concepts, short-term rental communities, or phased residential development. Although there is no builder tie in - Preliminary planning discussions with builders and engineers have already explored the site's potential for residential and hospitality uses. While approvals have not been finalized, a framework for feasibility, subdivision, septic direction, and phased development has already been identified — giving a buyer a head start versus a typical raw land purchase. A builder experienced in barndominium and large-scale residential construction has been involved in early planning and remains available to continue with a future owner. Located near ski resorts, Bushkill Falls, hiking and nature preserves, casinos, waterparks, and shopping, this property sits within one of the Northeast's strongest tourism-driven markets. Full Development Opportunity package available upon request.
