About this House
$2,500,000 - 65 Acres of Secluded, yet Centrally Located Property with Historical Ties to the Philadelphia Mob (Please email mark.kaschak@exprealty.com for the documents, which include FBI Field Reports, and the historical connections.
Located in Dorrance township of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, this 65-acre property is the embodiment of seclusion and privacy, so much so that it was reported to have been used as a cover by the Philadelphia mob for a still and other illegal black market activities during the 1940s. This claim is substantiated by newspaper articles, Luzerne County land deeds, FBI reports, and other records.
The owners of the property had associations with the Lanzetti gang, who operated in New Jersey and South Philadelphia. They were also associated later on with Philadelphia Mafia boss Salvatore Sabella from Western Sicily, and later on with Angelo Bruno. Visitors with past Mob connections and neighbors always ask, "Did you find anything here?"
The property is accessed by a 600-foot private road and features more than 2 miles of logging trails that are perfect for walking, running, horseback riding, and quad driving. There are many large fieldstone walls throughout left by the farmers who historically lived on the land. There is a swimming pond fed by pristine water from both a nearby artesian well and underground springs within the pond itself. There is also room behind this pond for a potential 4 to 6 acre fishing pond. The property also supports an abundance of wildlife such as squirrels, rabbits, deer, fox, grouse, turkey, hawks, owls, songbirds, ducks, geese, and more.
Location, location, location! It is only 15 minutes away from shopping, grocery stores, restaurants and bars, banks, gas stations, dry cleaning, schools and colleges, pharmacies, hospitals, and churches. It is located near Interstate Highways 80 and 81 and route 309. The PA turnpike is about 30 minutes away. Philadelphia is about an hour and a half to 2 hours away, and New York City is about 2 to 2 and a half hours away. Additionally, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Bloomsburg, Hazleton, Berwick, and the Pocono Mountains are all within 20 to 45 minutes away.
