Build Lot With Marketable Timber In Lehigh County

Here is a rare chance to pick up a manageable piece of rural Lehigh County ground on Scholler Road in New Tripoli, Pennsylvania. At 3.5+/- acres, this tract is sized for a buyer who wants elbow room and a quiet setting without taking on the upkeep of a large farm or timber tract. The property sits in a low traffic, rural part of northwestern Lehigh County, and it offers a straightforward path from raw land to a finished build site. Access is already handled. The tract carries ample frontage along Scholler Road, and a gravel entryway has already been constructed, so the first and often expensive step of developing a raw lot is behind you. That gravel drive also serves as a deeded right of way for several neighboring properties located behind this parcel, which is worth understanding up front as you plan where to place a home or a cabin. Electric line runs at the road, which shortens the utility work needed to get a build site online. No perc test has been completed to date. One of the stronger features on a tract this size is the standing timber. The property has marketable timber available, which gives a buyer the option to capture value from a harvest and put that money back into construction costs, a driveway extension, or site preparation. That flexibility is not something you usually find on a small residential building lot, and it is part of what separates this parcel from a typical subdivision lot. Beyond the build site, the setting is what sells this one. The rural character of the area, the wooded ground, and the quiet road make this a property where you can step out the back door and enjoy your own land. Whether the goal is a full time residence or a weekend getaway retreat within easy reach of the Lehigh Valley, 3.5+/- acres is enough ground to spread out, put in a garden or a food plot, run trails, and simply have space around you. The location is hard to beat for anyone who wants land without a long commute. New Tripoli sits on the northern edge of the Lehigh Valley, roughly 14 miles northwest of the Allentown area by way of PA Route 309. Leaser Lake, a 117 acre state owned impoundment managed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission with a 4 mile shoreline trail and three boat launches, is right in the New Tripoli area. The Blue Mountain ridge and the public land and Appalachian Trail corridor along it lie to the north, and PA Route 309 carries you across the mountain to Tamaqua in about 16 miles. Kempton is roughly 8 miles to the southwest. The parcel is currently enrolled in Pennsylvanias Clean and Green preferential assessment program. It will be un-enrolled, and the cost of that removal will be incurred by the seller, so a buyer takes the tract without that obligation carrying forward. For a buyer looking for a build lot for sale in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, with recreational upside and timber value already in place, this Scholler Road tract deserves a look.
