2117 Tunnelton Rd

Set on 4.15 picturesque acres, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of early American history—beautifully preserved and ready for its next chapter. At the heart of the property stands an extraordinary barn, originally constructed in the mid to late 1700s by a descendant of a prominent Indiana County pioneer, whose larger landholdings once spanned approximately 2,200 acres acquired from William Penn’s lineage. Rich in heritage, the barn showcases hand-hewn chestnut beams—some stretching nearly 50 feet—reflecting craftsmanship that has endured for centuries. In the late 1940s, the original roof and rafters were thoughtfully replaced with a gambrel-style roof, now clad in metal—preserving the integrity of the structure while enhancing its longevity. Today, the barn remains a striking architectural centerpiece—equally suited to continue its traditional use, anchor a hobby farm, or be thoughtfully reimagined into a one-of-a-kind barndominium. The surrounding land offers sweeping panoramic views, open, level acreage, and gently rolling hills—an ideal canvas for future vision. With the added convenience of public water, a well, active septic system, and the rare benefit of free gas, the property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern practicality. Perfectly positioned for both tranquility and recreation, the setting is just moments from a stocked trout stream, 600 acres of state game lands, the West Penn Bike Trail, and Conemaugh River Lake Dam & park—complete with a canoe and kayak launch for scenic river floats. Whether building a custom home alongside the barn, embracing the property as a working farmstead, or selectively repurposing its historic timbers into a modern architectural vision, the possibilities are both versatile and inspiring. A truly special offering where history, landscape, and opportunity converge—inviting its next steward to preserve, enhance, and carry forward its legacy.
