Tionesta Lodge - 223.5± Acre River Retreat With Lodge, Guest House And Priv

This 223.5+/- acre property near Tionesta in Forest County is a truly distinctive recreational offering with an uncommon combination of acreage, water and improvements. Surrounded by a large expanse of wooded and recreational land, the property offers an extraordinary level of privacy and a setting well-suited for a family legacy property, corporate retreat, hunting camp, or private recreational compound. The property is just a short drive from the Venango Regional Airport, providing convenient access for guests traveling from outside the area. Water is a defining element of the property, with nearly one-half mile of frontage along the Allegheny River and Little Tionesta Creek meandering through the center of the property. The creek is a true centerpiece of the setting, while multiple islands along the Allegheny River add character and create opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, and wildlife observation. The 223.5 +/- acres include a mix of wooded and open ground, providing habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, and small game. Trails throughout the property provide access for hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing, and exploring the diverse landscape. The centerpiece of the improvements is a massive stone lodge designed to accommodate large gatherings and extended stays. The main lodge features an expansive great room with approximately 26-foot ceilings, a large fireplace, stage, and generous gathering areas. A large covered deck overlooks Little Tionesta Creek and takes full advantage of the property's unique setting. Additional improvements include a renovated stone guest house, multiple private cabins, and a large garage suitable for equipment, vehicles, and recreational gear. Outdoor gathering spaces include a pavilion and fireplace, multi-level decks, and stone patios overlooking the water. The combination of the massive lodge, separate guest accommodations, extensive acreage, and central creek creates an unusual opportunity for a family to establish a lasting legacy property or for an organization to create a private retreat away from the congestion of more developed destinations. The exceptional privacy is perhaps the property's most difficult attribute to replicate. The surrounding recreational land, extensive acreage, river frontage, islands, and creek winding through the center of the property create a setting that feels removed and private while still being accessible. Whether used for family gatherings, corporate retreats, hunting and fishing, or simply enjoying the outdoors, this property offers a rare combination of scale, natural resources, and substantial existing improvements in the Tionesta area.
