ELK YOU CAN ACTUALLY HUNT, and not just look at! HIGHLAND RANCH is located in north-central Pennsylvania, this outdoorsman's paradise is something unique to behold. Held by the same family for 150 years, an exceptional property like this one does not come along very often. Unlike many properties in the Pennsylvania mountains that are comprised of terrain so steep it is not usable, this paradise is rolling-to-flat and all of it is very usable. There is a vast trail system throughout the property allowing easy access and use for hiking, atvs, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and much more.

ELK YOU CAN ACTUALLY HUNT, and not just look at! HIGHLAND RANCH is located in north-central Pennsylvania, this outdoorsman's paradise is something unique to behold. Held by the same family for 150 years, an exceptional property like this one does not come along very often. Unlike many properties in the Pennsylvania mountains that are comprised of terrain so steep it is not usable, this paradise is rolling-to-flat and all of it is very usable. There is a vast trail system throughout the property allowing easy access and use for hiking, atvs, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and much more. One large and one small spring-fed pond(s) have been stocked with large-mouth bass for your fishing pleasure. There is also a run-in-shed (on skids for moving) for horses if you desire, and a metal "gong" set up at 1,000 yards to test your long-distance rifle skills. The lodge interior is paneled with knotty-pine, has 7 small bedrooms, sleeps 17, has a full kitchen, fireplace, large covered front deck, big-screen tv, internet, a pool table and much more. The entire property has roughly 5 miles of 10' tall game-fence around the perimeter to provide you all the privacy you desire watching or hunting the private elk and deer herds. We even have 5 white-elk, not to be confused with albino. White elk are extremely rare, with only 1 in 100,000 being white. They are healthy and similar to piebald deer, and are very rare indeed. The "neighbors" to this property are comprised of large private tracts of land and are excellent "partners" in keeping others far from the borders, providing a truly private, exclusive experience.
Furthermore, the elk on this property may be kept from migrating from our perimeter fence but don't think for a second they are not wild. These elk have been born here for many many generations and their only contact with humans is when they are hunted. Their behavior is as wild as any whitetail deer.
There is a private deer herd on this outdoorsmans paradise as well, with genetics from 200"+ bucks. Just like the elk, the deer are very wild indeed.
* * * For greater details please see us at highlandranchusa and then just add a dot and a com. The vast majority of the property is forest with a few open areas.
Multiple springs on this property feed streams with water that is as clean as clean water gets, as it comes out of the ground here, right on this property.
Whether you want a personal hunting paradise, a hunting business, a retreat for photo safaris, riding ATV's, horseback riding or just a wonderful, exclusive place to escape to with your friends and family, you will find none better than this.
ONE LAST THING. To fully understand the quality of this property, look at all the other properties within the northern PA mountain (wilds) area that are larger than 200 acres. Click on their photos, and then it will allow you to see the "Property Map". Under the "layers" in that map, select "Terrain" or "Vintage Topographical" or "Topo". This feature goes by different names for some reason. Then look at the terrain. Most of the other properties have a huge percentage of the property at a steep incline, making so much of those other properties to be almost unusable, except for a small area here and there. Often those other properties are divided by public roads, rivers or the property itself is a peculiar shape hindering its usefulness or access. We have none of those issues. Our topo map shows the beautiful and unique property that this is. Thank you for looking!
