73 acres in the heart of the Cumberland Valley, priced at roughly $19,000 per acre. This property offers investors, developers, and agricultural businesses a large, usable parcel with Village Residential zoning, public sewer at the farmhouse, and quick access to the region’s major transportation corridors.
Location and access. The farm sits 4 miles from the PA Turnpike, 6 miles from Shippensburg, and less than 10 miles from I-81, one of the East Coast’s busiest freight and logistics routes. Hopewell Township Park is nearby. Its position between Shippensburg, Chambersburg, and the Carlisle corridor puts it in one of south-central Pennsylvania’s steadiest growth areas.
Zoning and development potential. Village Residential zoning may support residential subdivision or other permitted uses, subject to township approval. With public sewer serving the existing home, about 55 open, gently farmed acres, and frontage along Newburg Run, the land suits a long-term land bank, a phased development, or a hold-and-farm strategy. Buyers should verify sewer capacity and permitted density with Hopewell Township.
Income while you plan. About 55 tillable acres can generate cash-crop or lease income now. The infrastructure supports a commercial produce, greenhouse, or equine operation:
Two greenhouses (30x64 and 30x90)
36x48 two-story bank barn with milkhouse
36x52 stable
26x42 hay shed
33x44 shop
Two wells and a pond
These buildings could also serve an on-farm market, agritourism venue, boarding facility, or contractor and equipment base, where zoning permits.
Residence. An updated 1873 two-story brick farmhouse offers 1,538 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a walkout basement, public sewer, and a covered front porch with mountain views. It works as an owner’s residence, a manager’s quarters, or a rental.
Natural features. About 10 wooded acres around the pond provide buffering and recreation, and Blue Mountain forms the backdrop.
Few parcels this size near the Turnpike and I-81 come to market at this price. With the recent price reduction, this is an excellent time to take a closer look, whether you’re a developer, an investor, or an agricultural business ready to expand.
