About this land

Escape to open, usable land in Madison Township, Lackawanna County - a rare opportunity to build your dream home in a setting that offers both country seclusion and everyday convenience. The property is mostly open field, giving you a ready canvas for your new home, with a private, secluded field in the back that makes an ideal building site tucked well away from the road. Extensive road frontage provides real flexibility for your driveway and homesite placement, while mature stone walls trace the land's history and lend timeless character throughout. A portion of the property includes wetlands - and that works in your favor. These areas create a natural buffer that helps shield your future home from neighboring development, preserving the quiet, private setting that makes this parcel special. An old garage and single-wide trailer remain on the property. Both are uninhabitable, but the existing utilities on site may be usable, potentially giving you a head start as you plan your build. The location is hard to beat. You're within easy reach of both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre for work, shopping, and dining, yet the property itself feels a world away. Weekend recreation is close at hand, with Lake Wallenpaupack, Kalahari Resorts, and Pocono Raceway all nearby, plus all the outdoor adventure the Pocono Mountains region has to offer. Whether you're envisioning a primary residence or a peaceful country retreat, this parcel delivers the space, character, and setting to bring that vision to life. Open field, historic stone walls, generous road frontage, and a private rear building site - all in one of Northeast Pennsylvania's most convenient rural locations. Opportunities to build on land like this, this close to major towns and four-season attractions, don't come along often. Come walk the property and picture the possibilities for yourself. Total acreage is comprised of 2 lots Interior stone walls Open fields great for lower construction cost and hobby farm ready More than 900' of road frontage Wetlands creating great buffer from any neighboring development Real estate agent must be present for all showings, stops and visits Garage and mobile home on the property should not be entered, viewed from exterior only

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

    1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
    2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
    3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
    4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
    5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
    6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
    7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
    8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
    9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
