0 Meadow Rd Blain, PA 17006

**Open House 4-6pm Thursday, May 28th, 2026*** Some properties make for a nice weekend. Others build a hideout you never want to leave. This 22+/- acre tract on Meadows Road in Blain, Perry County, is the second kind. Set deep inside Tuscarora State Forest with public land wrapping nearly every side of the boundary, it's the kind of property hunters and outdoorsmen spend a lifetime hoping to find and most never do. With the exception of one small section along a single boundary that adjoins a private neighbor, this tract is hugged by 96,000+ acres of state forest in every direction. Once you turn on to Laurel Run Road and roll towards Meadows, the rest of the world quiets down quick. A spring-fed pond sits at the corner of the tract and feeds Tamec Creek, a clear, cold tributary that winds down through the property, slipping under a new bridge built in 2022 before pouring into the wild waters of Laurel Run. Tamec Creek is the kind of small, unsung mountain stream that defines this part of Pennsylvania, narrow enough to step across in places, but constant, cold, and alive year round. The rest of the property holds mixed hardwoods and softwoods rising across varied topography that creates bedding cover, travel corridors, and the kind of natural pinch points hunters dream about. Recent timber stand improvements have transformed this tract into what is arguably the best wildlife habitat for miles around, opening the canopy and producing waves of low, early successional growth that whitetail, wild turkey, ground-nesting birds, and the occasional black bear cannot resist. A utility pole already stands on the property with power run in. There is also an old cabin on the tract, weathered and waiting for a new chapter, perfect for someone with a little vision. Prefer something simpler? Park a camper under the canopy, listen to Tamec Creek run past, and let the woods do the rest. Either way, you have a base camp planted in some of the most peaceful country left in central Pennsylvania. Step outside your door and you are minutes from the Sheriff Trail Trailhead. Campsite #75 sits right where Sheriff Trail meets Laurel Run Road, and the well-known Campsite #88, a large, flat, tent-only site set deep in the woods along the stream, is just up the way. Laurel Run itself runs with wild brook trout and a healthy mix of wild browns, while the North Branch is recognized as a Pennsylvania Wilderness Trout Stream. From your front porch you can hike or ride into 157 miles of state forest roads, 178 miles of hiking trails, and a 23-mile stretch of the Tuscarora Trail, the legendary northern bypass of the Appalachian Trail. This is not just land. This is the kind of place that resets you. The kind of place your children remember. The kind of property that gets passed down, not flipped. If you have been waiting for a true gem, nearly surrounded by state forest, with water, power, habitat, and history already in place, this is the one. Oil, gas and mineral rights will convey with the sale. Property was just surveyed in May 2026, see documents.
