Broadwing Forestland Parcel 5 presents an excellent recreation and land investment opportunity with various habitat features and an ideal terrain profile. The property contains 86 + acres of recently harvested forestland, creating a park-like landscape that allows for a variety of land-use options.
Located in McCalmont Township, Jefferson County, Parcel 5 lies just 9 miles north of Punxsutawney and 7 miles south of Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania. Regional access is provided by proximity to I-80, traversing the state east to west. The property benefits from over 900 feet of public road frontage along the property’s eastern border on the west side of Dutch Mikes Road. Alternative access is provided by a shared right-of-way from Dutch Mikes Road and makes up the property’s western boundary for 1,670 feet of frontage. An internal woods road system allows for ample access throughout.
The topography features a flat rolling ridge along the northern boundary, giving way to gently sloping hillsides with south and east facing aspects. The elevation rises 300 feet from 1,440 feet at the southern boundary to 1,740 feet along the ridge.
Although subsurface rights do not transfer, the surface rights provide a mature tree species composition dominated by red oak, tulip poplar, red maple, and sugar maple. A recent harvest has created space for new growth under a scattered forest canopy. As the understory starts to regenerate, the habitat features will continue to evolve and provide the new landowner with a clean slate of management considerations and land use options.
The surrounding region provides its own wealth of recreational pursuits, with state game land, state forests, and the Allegheny National Forest nearby. Immediately proximate to Parcel 5 is an ownership mix of private and industrial forestland, open fields, and seasonal and year-round residences. These features culminate in a property that is well-suited for a recreational enthusiast, providing a wealth of opportunities for enjoying the land.
