You reach 147 Fetterman Lane through a red covered bridge over the West Branch of the Susquehanna. The house is a two-story vinyl and brick home from 1990. A second story and new roof came later. This home with 23 acres in Mahaffey, Pennsylvania, includes two lot certificates, Lots 21 and 22. The land itself belongs to the West Branch Covered Bridge Association. Owners share use of more than 23 acres and the river.
That structure matters. You are not buying a standard deeded farm. You buy the house plus membership-style use of the common ground. Taxes are low. An association fee is listed around thirty dollars a month. Well water and a septic tank serve the house. Off-street parking holds several cars.
You can check the full pricing history and listing details in the source link below the photos. Ask the agent how certificates, bylaws, and river access actually work before you write an offer.
Kitchen First: Walnut Counters and Green Cabinets
The renovated kitchen is the room people will remember. Lower cabinets are painted a strong green. Uppers are white. Walnut butcher-block counters run the L-shape. Hex tile backs the sink. Bamboo shades cover the windows that look into the trees.
The kitchen with green lower cabinets, white uppers, walnut butcher-block counters, and a window over the sink.
A white fridge and electric range sit on the left. A black dishwasher tucks under the long counter. The floor is light tile. This is not a huge gourmet kitchen, but the counters and cabinets are new enough to feel current. The space opens toward dining and living, so the cook is not cut off.

Living Rooms That Share One Floor
A purple front door with a wreath opens into the main living area. A beige sofa faces a round ottoman. Beyond that, a round table sits by more green cabinets and a printer nook. Laminate flooring runs through. The plan is open enough that kitchen, dining, and sitting share light.

Turn the other way and a sliding barn door hides the stair. A leather sofa and a fabric sofa face a wall-mounted TV over a wood console. A ceiling fan turns above. Doorways lead to a den or office and a bath. Fresh paint shows throughout.

The stair itself has wood treads and a pale riser pattern. Storage sits under the run. This is the heart of a small two-story house that grew when the upper floor was added.

Pellet Stove, Den, and the Added Second Story
A black Harman pellet stove sits on a tile pad in front of a slatted wood wall. A tall clock and a hutch keep the room traditional. Sheer curtains let daylight in. Forced-air propane heat backs up the stove. Cooling is listed as other, so confirm that on a visit.

The main floor also holds a den or office, laundry, and an all-season room that steps to the deck. Two full baths were updated when the second story went on, one up and one down. Three bedrooms sit in the house. Carpet shows in the sleeping rooms. Laminate and tile cover the main floor.

The green bedroom reads as a primary suite in use, with a wall sconce and extra chairs. Closet space is practical rather than oversized. Take a look at these interior shots, and find the complete photo gallery linked at the end of this tour.
River Bank, Covered Bridge, and the Yard
A gravel path follows green grass along a quiet stretch of river. Trees stand on the far bank. This is the outdoor living space that comes with the certificates: fishing, kayaks, swimming when the water allows. The association land is the reason the listing mentions 23 acres.

McGee’s Mills Covered Bridge is the landmark at the entrance. Red sides, white portal, a height sign of 8 feet 6 inches. It is the last covered bridge on this branch of the Susquehanna. You drive through it to reach Fetterman Lane.
The historic covered bridge that leads from the highway toward the house and the river lots.
The house itself sits on a grassy yard with pines, a large boulder, and a dirt drive that puddles after rain. Light gray siding, brick at the base, a small upper deck. A 12-by-12 shed on a concrete slab holds tools. A fenced back yard is meant for a dog and for grilling on the added deck. Gutter guards went on with the new roof.

Mahaffey and Life on the West Branch
Mahaffey is a small Clearfield County borough on Route 286. The local real estate market is quiet and priced well below bigger Pennsylvania cities. Nearby wineries and state game lands draw weekend traffic. The river is the daily draw here.
Schools follow the local districts. Shopping means a drive. Prime location in this case means the bridge, the bank, and shared acreage, not a short walk to a grocery store. Confirm association rules on building, guests, and watercraft. Those rules shape what you can do on the 23 acres.
Who This House Fits

Walk through the bridge. Stand in the kitchen. Read the association papers. If that mix of house, river, and shared ground still works, the listing agent has the rest of the photos and the numbers.
