28 Richland

Imagine pulling in off Richland Road, the trees closing in behind you like a curtain drawn on the rest of the world. This is where your story starts. Nearly 6 acres of mature Cumberland County woodland, tucked into one of Dickinson Township's quietest pockets, are waiting for the next chapter. And here's the best part: the heavy lifting is already done. Established site access greets you at the road, a blue shale and limestone-lined driveway winds back through the timber, and the building area is cleared, prepped, and perk-approved. Property perimeter fencing is already in place, and a fenced-in orchard sits established and ready for the next steward to enjoy. You can walk this land knowing the homework has been handled, the path to your forever home is cleared, and all that's left is to decide where the front porch faces. Stand in the building area and listen. There's no road noise pressing in, no rooftops staring back at you through the windows, just the soft rustle of hardwoods and the occasional turkey calling from the timber. Neighbors are close enough for comfort, a friendly wave at the mailbox, a helping hand when you need one, but tucked far enough away that you'll never feel like anyone's living in your back pocket. Picture morning coffee on a wraparound porch watching deer slip through the back of the property. Picture your kids running barefoot down that blue shale drive, picking apples from the orchard on the way back to the house. Picture summer evenings around a fire pit, holidays with the whole family pulling in to a place that finally feels like home. For the hunter in the family, this one hits different. Mature whitetails have already been caught on camera moving through these woods, and while just under 6 acres might not sound like a hunting tract on paper, the layout, the cover, and the way the timber sits give you real room to slip out the back door, climb a tree, and put your tag on a Cumberland County buck without ever loading up the truck. Backyard hunting at its finest. Carlisle Area School District. Easy access to I-81 for the daily commute. Close enough to town for groceries and a quick dinner out, far enough away that the stars actually look like stars. Properties like this, with the privacy, the acreage, the location, the perimeter fencing, the established orchard, the driveway already in, and the prep work behind it, don't sit long in this market. The lot has been waiting. The trees have been growing. The orchard has been ripening. The only thing missing is you. Bring your builder. Bring your plans. Bring your dreams. The hard part is already behind you.
