Description

Discover an exceptional opportunity to step directly into a turnkey homestead lifestyle on 7.3 serene acres in Ashland, Pennsylvania. Positioned atop gentle, rolling terrain with panoramic mountain views, this property offers a rare blend of open land, established agricultural systems, and fully approved residential development plans—creating the perfect foundation for self-sufficiency, hobby farming, or a private rural retreat.

Designed and cultivated with long-term sustainability in mind, the property currently supports a thriving poultry operation of approximately 300 free-range chickens producing roughly 100 dozen eggs per week, with significant space to scale toward a larger operation. Complementing the poultry are young beef cattle, a protective Maremma sheepdog, a donkey, and a miniature horse, all of which can convey with the sale to maintain continuity of care and operations.

An expanding orchard—featuring apple, pear, plum, and peach trees—is already established, supported by an impressive water-collection system capable of storing 1,200 gallons for irrigation. The land has been professionally surveyed, clearly marked every 100 feet, and includes approved septic and perk tests, along with fully engineered and approved architectural plans for a 2,500 sq ft custom ranch-style home to be built adjacent to the existing barn.

A future owner can proceed immediately with construction, as the property qualifies for a construction loan, and all essential groundwork has been completed. Solar integration was planned for both the home and barn, offering a blueprint for a true off-grid lifestyle.

Additional features include:
• Full lineup of farm tractors, implements, and equipment for continued operation
• A large wood boiler and significant stockpile of split firewood
• A 2017, 32-ft camper, currently used for egg washing and onsite utility functions
• Ample open acreage for expansion, rotational grazing, additional crops, or new outbuildings

The current owner is willing to provide a transition period to train and familiarize the new stewards with all systems, equipment, and animals—ensuring a seamless handoff of this carefully developed homestead.

This offering is far more than land—it’s a fully realized starting point for someone’s rural dream, complete with infrastructure, approvals, and the irreplaceable beauty of wide-open skies and mountain vistas. The canvas is prepared, the groundwork is done, and the vision is ready for its next chapter.
