About this House
Understand this before anything else, because it defines the property: these 105.5 acres are landlocked. There is no deeded access, no road frontage, no easement, and no driveway serving the tract. The only way to reach this land is on foot, using the public walking trails that run to it, specifically the Appalachian Trail and the blue blazed Winter Trail. There is no vehicle access of any kind and none is likely to be created. A buyer should plan on hiking in and hiking out every single time. That one fact is the entire reason this offering exists at this price. Land of this size on the Kittatinny Ridge does not usually trade at that number. Access is why it does here. For a buyer who genuinely accepts the walk-in limitation, this is a rare chance to own better than a hundred contiguous acres of Pennsylvania mountain ground at a price most buyers cannot find on anything close to this scale. The tract sits on the slope of Blue Mountain above the borough of Palmerton in Carbon County, looking north and east out over the town and the valley below. The property physically touches the Appalachian Trail and the Winter Trail, so a buyer walks the public trail to the boundary and steps onto their own land. No crossing a neighbor, no asking permission, no gate to negotiate. For a landlocked parcel, that is about as clean a walk-in situation as you will find. Elevation and slope work in this property's favor. Several points along the tract open to real long views across the Aquashicola and Lehigh valleys, the same vantage that draws hikers to this stretch of ridge in the first place. Anyone who has climbed the Appalachian Trail out of Lehigh Gap knows the character of this country: rocky, steep, high, wide open in places, and genuinely quiet. Cover is a mix of forested ground and open land. The wooded portions give the tract shade, structure, and cover for wildlife, while the open ground provides sunlight, longer sightlines, and the best of the views. There is no marketable timber on the property, so this is not a timber play. It is a recreation and ownership play. There are no improvements of any kind. No buildings, no utilities, no well, no septic, no interior roads. It is raw, undeveloped Pennsylvania mountain acreage. What may matter most to the right buyer is who owns the land around it. This tract adjoins ground held by the United States of America and the National Park Service, which manages the Appalachian National Scenic Trail corridor, along with the Palmerton Municipal Authority and the Wildlife Information Center, Incorporated, which operates as the Lehigh Gap Nature Center and holds a wildlife refuge of more than 750 acres on this ridge. In practical terms, this 105.5 acres is surrounded by conserved and publicly held land. The solitude here is not a temporary condition of the market. It is structural. No one is building a subdivision against your line. Hunting is permitted on the property itself, subject to Pennsylvania Game Commission regulations and to a buyer confirming what may and may not be carried across the National Park Service trail corridor to get there. Beyond hunting, the land suits a hiker, a backpacker, a birder, a naturalist, a photographer, or anyone who simply wants to own a large wild piece of mountain and walk it on their own two feet. Buyers who own or use adjoining ground may also see strategic value in a contiguous 105.5 acre block in this location. On history, this stretch of Blue Mountain was affected by decades of zinc smelting in Palmerton and falls within the area addressed by the Palmerton Zinc Pile Superfund site, where Blue Mountain is a designated operable unit. That history is also the reason the Lehigh Gap Nature Center's restoration work has been so widely recognized, and why the mountain today carries the native grassland and returning forest that hikers come to see. Any buyer should review the EPA and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection records for this parcel as part of their own due diligence. Location rounds it out. Palmerton sits at the center of the Lehigh Gap outdoor recreation corridor. The Appalachian Trail crosses the ridge here. The Lehigh Gap Nature Center maintains miles of public trail nearby. The Delaware and Lehigh Trail follows the river below. Jim Thorpe, Beltzville State Park, and the greater Pocono region are a short drive, and Allentown and Bethlehem are roughly half an hour away, which puts this land within weekend reach of the Philadelphia and New York metro areas. Anyone considering this property should walk it before making an offer and do their own due diligence on access, boundaries, zoning, permitted use, environmental record, and any restrictions of record. The seller and listing broker make no representation that legal vehicular access can be obtained. Sold as is, where is, with access exactly as described. For the right buyer, that is not a drawback. It is the whole opportunity. Contact the listing Land Specialist to arrange a walk-in showing.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am so happy that my grandchildren are attending S. S. Palmer Elementary School! The quality of the education that they are receiving is far and above what I expected from a small-town school. The teachers are amazing. They give so much of themselves, and receive little, if any, recognition or thanks from the administration or school board. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers who have had my grandchildren as their students. You are the best! I now understand why my grandchildren love going to school. They are learning so much more than 'just the curriculum'. They are being educated and prepared, even at their young ages, to be the very best they can be, and are developing a lifelong love of learning. Thank you, teachers!Other Review15y ago
