Private Hunting Preserve With Trophy Elk And Deer

Surrounded by nearly 5 miles of 10-foot-high game fencing, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a fully enclosed, 584.2-acre wildlife sanctuary in the mountains of Northcentral Pennsylvania. This preserve is home to wild, free-roaming herds of trophy elk and whitetail deer that are carefully managed and genetically enhanced over decades.The elk herd was established in the 1990s with animals from Clearstone Breeding Farms, one of the first selective elk breeding operations in North America. Since then, the property has produced bulls exceeding 400, and the current herd of approximately 40 elk includes several extremely rare leucistic (white) elkstatistically just 1 in 100,000 are born this way. These animals were born on the land, raised wild, and roam freely within the preserve.The whitetail deer herd, also around 40 strong, began with native animals that were present when the perimeter was fenced. Selective breeding with bucks carrying 200"+ genetics has produced a healthy, wild herd with exceptional trophy potential.Unlike typical Pennsylvania mountain land, the property features usable, gently rolling to flat terrain throughout, making nearly every acre accessible. A well-maintained trail system allows easy travel across the property for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, or ATV exploration.Tucked into the landscape is a partially finished, off-grid lodge that serves as a rustic basecamp with strong potential to be transformed into a turnkey retreat. The lodge is powered by a propane generator, includes a private well and septic, and currently sleeps up to 17 with 7 bedrooms, a full kitchen, covered front porch, fireplace, and living space for family, friends, or paying guests. While functional as-is, it offers exciting possibilities for expansion or finishing touches to make it your dream hunting lodge, family compound, or off-grid getaway.Just a short 7-mile drive from Interstate 15, this property combines convenience with accessibility. Bordered by large, privately held tracts that act as a natural buffer from the outside world, this property is a private, secure, and truly exclusive wildlife estateperfect for the serious outdoorsman, entrepreneur, or legacy landowner.
