Land In Acme

A property like this comes to market once in a generation. Tucked into the folds of the Laurel Highlands in Cook Township, just minutes from Latrobe and Ligonier, this 302 acre wooded sanctuary offers something increasingly rare in western Pennsylvania: true scale, unspoiled timber, and roughly one mile of frontage on a stocked, high-quality coldwater trout stream. The crown jewel is Four Mile Run. This freestone stream winds through the heart of the tract, delivering nearly a mile of classic riffle-and-pool trout water: cold, clear, and stocked. It is the kind of water fly fishermen dream about, and the kind of feature that anchors a legacy property. The creek corridor and its riparian bottomland create lush, diverse habitat that draws and holds wildlife year-round. Completely wooded and divided by a township road for convenient access to both sides, the property is a hunter’s haven. Mature hardwood ridges rise dramatically from the valley floor, with elevations climbing more than 440 feet across the tract, creating the varied terrain, benches, and travel corridors that whitetail and turkey thrive in. Steep timbered slopes give way to gentle creekside flats, offering natural funnels, bedding cover, and endless opportunity for the serious hunter. Beyond the recreation, this is a working asset. The standing timber represents real, tangible value with future harvest potential across the mature hardwood stands. Old logging roads and landings speak to the property’s productive past and provide a framework of internal access. Several excellent build sites are scattered across the higher ground, ideal for a cabin, lodge, or full-time mountain retreat with commanding views over your own private valley. Whether you envision a family hunting camp, a fishing getaway, a timber investment, or all of the above, the canvas is here. Portions of the low-lying ground along Four Mile Run lie within the floodplain, the very feature that gives the property its exceptional creek habitat and fishery. Large recreational tracts of this caliber, with mile-long creek frontage, future timber, and buildable ground all in one, are genuinely scarce in this part of Pennsylvania. Properties pairing prime trout water with 300 plus acres of huntable timber simply do not last. Conveniently located near Latrobe, Ligonier, and the Route 30 corridor with quick access to the PA Turnpike, this is a legacy holding within easy reach of Pittsburgh yet a world away. Come walk it, fish it, and imagine what it could be. Offered exclusively by Whitetail Properties Real Estate. Call today to schedule your private tour.
