Living on the Edge of the Wild: Properties Bordering State Game Lands
For those who crave space, solitude, and a daily connection to nature, owning a home that borders Pennsylvania State Game Lands offers something truly special. These properties provide a sense of peace that’s hard to describe — where your backyard stretches for miles, and your neighbors are more likely to have antlers or wings than lawnmowers.
Why Buyers Love These Properties
Homes and parcels bordering State Game Lands are perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. Imagine stepping out your back door into 21,000+ acres of unspoiled forest, ready for hiking, birdwatching, or hunting — no long drives, no crowds, no limits.
These properties also tend to offer:
- Ultimate privacy and seclusion
- Direct access to trails and wildlife
- Long-term peace of mind, since no one can build behind you
It’s the best of both worlds — your own Pocono retreat with nature as your permanent neighbor.
Things to Consider Before Buying
- Boundaries: Always confirm exact borders and access points — a good local Realtor (👋 that’s us) will help verify maps and easements.
- Land use: Zoning and township regulations may affect hunting, construction, or fencing near Game Lands.
- Utilities: Some of these lots are off-grid or semi-rural — knowing the infrastructure ahead of time saves surprises later.
Where to Find These Hidden Gems
From the wooded stretches near Brady’s Lake to the quiet edges of Thornhurst Country Club Estates, properties bordering State Game Lands can be found across the Poconos — though rarely for long.
