Bald Eagle Forest Gateway Retreat

Set in one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic and adventure-rich regions, this remarkable woodland retreat offers far more than just a cabin on acreage—it offers a gateway to over 100,000 acres of Bald Eagle State Forest, placing you in the heart of one of the state’s most treasured outdoor landscapes. This property is heading to onsite auction on November 22, 2025 at 2:00 PM, and it will be sold with reserve, giving buyers a rare opportunity to compete for a truly special piece of ground in Union County. The listed price represents only a suggested opening bid and does not reflect the final sales price, which will be determined by seller confirmation on auction day.

This offering consists of approximately 8 wooded acres tucked into a secluded and naturally beautiful area, paired with a rustic three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath cabin that provides the perfect basecamp for outdoor living, hunting, recreation, and quiet country escapes. Though peaceful and private, the location is also extremely convenient—just 15 minutes from Lewisburg and Mifflinburg and only 45 minutes from State College, giving you access to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and cultural attractions while still enjoying total immersion in nature.

The land itself is the kind of property that outdoor enthusiasts dream about. Surrounded by vast public forestland, this tract feels much larger than its acreage suggests. With the Bald Eagle State Forest at your doorstep, you essentially gain access to tens of thousands of acres of protected land for hiking, hunting, wildlife viewing, trail riding, and exploration. This is a true sportsman’s paradise, and the surrounding woods are well known for their strong populations of deer, bear, and wild turkey. Trail camera photos from the property have already captured impressive bucks, confirming the quality of wildlife habitat in this area.

The wooded 8± acres provide privacy, shade, and a strong sense of being completely surrounded by nature. Tall trees, natural understory, and rolling terrain create a beautiful and functional landscape that supports wildlife and offers excellent outdoor recreation opportunities. Whether you are sitting quietly on the porch watching deer pass through, hiking your own trails, or heading out into the adjacent state forest for a day of adventure, this land delivers a true back-to-nature experience.

At the center of the property sits a cozy rustic cabin designed for comfort and practicality. With three bedrooms and one and a half baths, there is room for family, friends, or hunting buddies to gather and enjoy time together. The cabin has the charm of a classic woodland retreat, a place where muddy boots, camo jackets, and coffee mugs all feel perfectly at home. After a long day in the woods, this cabin becomes a warm and welcoming space to relax, cook a meal, and share stories around the table.

This property is ideal for a wide range of uses. For hunters, it is a dream setup: private acreage combined with immediate access to massive tracts of public land, all in a region known for its game populations. You can hunt on your own property and then expand into the surrounding forest for even more opportunity. For hikers and nature lovers, the miles and miles of forest trails provide endless exploration, from quiet walks to all-day backcountry adventures.

For those seeking a weekend getaway or vacation retreat, this cabin offers a peaceful escape from city life. You can unplug, breathe in fresh mountain air, and enjoy the kind of quiet that only a forest setting can provide. The lack of development, the natural surroundings, and the star-filled night skies make this a place where time slows down and stress fades away.

Even for investors or buyers thinking long-term, this property offers compelling value. Land that borders or sits next to large tracts of protected public forest is highly desirable and tends to hold its value extremely well. As access to open land becomes more limited, properties like this—private yet connected to huge natural preserves—become even more valuable and sought after.

It is important to note that access to the property is undocumented, which adds to its remote, off-grid character and sense of seclusion. For many buyers, this is part of the appeal: a place that feels hidden, quiet, and far removed from the rush of modern life. This type of access also tends to discourage unwanted traffic, helping preserve the peaceful nature of the retreat.

The auction terms are straightforward and designed to ensure a smooth transaction. A $20,000 down payment is required on the day of the auction, with settlement on or before January 22, 2026. Transfer taxes are to be paid by the buyer, and real estate taxes will be prorated. Because the sale is subject to seller confirmation, the final purchase price will be determined based on the auction results and seller approval on auction day.

This is not just a property—it is an opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Pennsylvania’s most desirable outdoor regions. With wildlife at your doorstep, a comfortable cabin to call home, and over 100,000 acres of state forest to explore, this Union County retreat offers a lifestyle that is rich in adventure, peace, and natural beauty.

If you have been searching for a secluded hunting cabin, a forest getaway, or a unique investment in a prime outdoor recreation area, this auction could be your chance. Mark your calendar for November 22, 2025 at 2:00 PM, and be ready to bid on a property that offers far more than meets the eye—an authentic, immersive, and unforgettable connection to the Pennsylvania wilderness.
