I am in the final stages of making a land purchase in PA. Just waiting on the bank to do the appraisal. I have already signed the sales agreement and paid a security deposit. I have wanted this property ever since I was a kid. It is 91 acres and is next door to the house that belonged to my parents when I was growing up and that now belongs to one of my sisters and her husband. I have hunted on this land ever since I was in high school and now it looks like it will soon be mine. It includes a ten year old three-bedroom ranch with a full basement and three car attached garage. There is a natural gas well on the property with free gas to a four year old gas furnace. The house also has an oil furnace, wood burning fireplace and central air. The property is mostly wooded with one open field of about five acres with a small orchard at one end. The forest consists mostly of wild cherry, maple, oak and eastern hemlock. There is one decent sized stream that runs the length of the property and eventually flows into a stocked trout stream that is within walking distance of the house. The land consists of two nice ridges with a gradually sloping valley down the middle. The house sits atop one of those ridges. I killed my first turkey on this property years ago along with several other turkeys, deer and small game during the years since. The current owner took a nice gobbler there on the first day of the 2012 PA spring turkey season.
