Property Description

Most buyers looking for land in York County find one of two things: A small lot in a subdivision with neighbors on every side, or raw ground that needs a year of testing, surveying, and clearing before anyone can talk about a house. This 9 acre lot off Ridge Road is neither. The property is 9.014+/- surveyed acres of wooded ground in Fairview Township, York County, set back off Ridge Road inside a private, gated, lane. It is quiet, tucked away, and surrounded by woods. A building site has already been cleared, and the land opens up to views to the south. Stand where the house would go and you see trees and sky, not rooftops. Much of the groundwork is already done. The lot has passed perc and probe testing twice, in 2022 and again in 2023, with both tests completed by the township sewage enforcement officer and both sites rated suitable for an on lot septic system. A boundary survey was completed in 2024 and a corrective deed was recorded to bring it from 8.4+/- acres to 9.014+/- acres, so the lines are clearly marked and you gained over a half of an acre. An engineered stormwater management plan was started for the property, laying out a driveway, house location, and septic area. The township approval process was not finished, so a buyer can pick that plan up as a starting point or begin fresh with their own design. Access is already in place. A stone driveway follows an old logging road into the property and connects to Ridge Road by a recorded access easement over a shared private lane. You can drive in today and walk the build site. There is no builder tied to this lot. Bring your own builder, your own plans, and build on your own timeline. Whitetail deer move through these woods every day. There are several old and new buck rubs indicating a history of solid bucks on the lot. Mornings and evenings on this ridge come with wildlife right off the back porch once your home is laid. For anyone who wants room to breathe, space between neighbors, and woods on every side, this is it. The location keeps daily life easy. The lot sits in the West Shore School District, which carries the lowest school tax rate in York County. Lewisberry, Roundtop Mountain Resort, and Gifford Pinchot State Park are all nearby, and I 83 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike put Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, and York within an easy commute. If you have been waiting for a private, wooded lot that is ready for the next step, this is the one to walk. Generally when you buy a lot, you have all the expenses of clearing, percolation testing, site planning and more. This one is ready to save you the headache and has your name all over it!
