About this home
1800 square foot renovated cabin on 190 acres in Howard, PA, just minutes from I-80 and approximately 30 minutes to State College and Penn State, offering a rare combination of privacy, access, and long-range mountain views.
Set in the heart of Central Pennsylvania, this property borders a recreational corridor with immediate proximity to Pennsylvania State Game Lands 92 and the Sproul State Forest—together creating over 280,000 acres of public land within a few miles. For buyers searching for a hunting property, recreational land, or a private retreat with direct access to hiking, wildlife, and outdoor lifestyle opportunities, the location alone answers the question of long-term value and use.
The cabin itself has been thoughtfully renovated over the past decade, blending rustic character with modern upgrades. The open-concept main living area features vaulted wood ceilings, skylights for natural light, and a stone fireplace that anchors the space. The kitchen includes updated finishes such as granite countertops and functional flow into dining and living areas—built for hosting after a day outside. A loft sleeping area expands capacity, making the property well-suited for group use, whether for Penn State football weekends or seasonal retreats.
Step outside and the setting becomes the focal point. Elevated views overlook rolling ridges and wooded valleys, while a network of established trails runs throughout the 190-acre parcel, making it easy to access different sections of the land for hunting, hiking, or ATV use. A fire pit area and outdoor gathering space create a natural extension of the home.
For buyers thinking beyond the current cabin, the property offers flexibility. There is room and usable ground to build an additional residence, garage, or pole barn, allowing you to scale the property to match your long-term vision—whether that’s a legacy property, a primary residence, or a multi-structure retreat.
This is the type of property that works in multiple directions. A Penn State getaway within reach of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, and Washington. A hunting and recreational property with access to thousands of acres of public land. Or a private setting to build and expand over time.
If you’ve been looking for a property that combines acreage, access, views, and a move-in ready cabin, you’ll want to see how this one fits your plans....
