Welcome to 584 McClelland Road, an extraordinary 127.98-acre estate offering remarkable architecture, complete privacy, energy independence, and direct access to some of Pennsylvania’s most expansive protected wilderness. At the heart of the property is an architecturally designed, approximately 7,000-square-foot residence constructed with timeless stone and cedar. Inside, the five-bedroom home features American cherry hardwood floors, soaring cathedral ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and thoughtfully designed living spaces filled with natural light and sweeping views. A distinctive bridge library connects two sections of the residence, while the fourth-floor observation tower and cantilevered balcony provide breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside. Designed with self-sufficiency in mind, the property is equipped to operate completely off-grid with a full solar array, battery storage, and an integrated 12,000-watt backup generator. Direct access to a natural gas well, supported by a multi-year natural gas supply agreement, provides an additional level of energy independence. Recent improvements also include three new furnaces, three Bosch heat pumps, dual natural gas or LPG piping, natural gas lines to the barn and workshop, a whole-house radon mitigation system, an upgraded well system, reverse-osmosis drinking water, and numerous electrical, fireplace, chimney, window, septic, and efficiency improvements. Multiple patios and outdoor living areas create peaceful spaces to entertain, relax, and experience the property’s abundant wildlife. A stream borders three sides of the estate, enhancing its beauty, privacy, and recreational appeal. Beyond the main residence, the property includes three barns and a private cabin, providing exceptional flexibility for equestrian or agricultural use, equipment storage, recreation, guest accommodations, or the creation of a private family retreat. The foundations of the barn and workshop have also been repaired and reinforced, further enhancing the property’s functionality and long-term value. The estate is bordered by Clear Creek State Forest and offers direct access through the surrounding public lands to the Allegheny National Forest and its more than 500,000 acres of outdoor recreation. Whether envisioned as a private luxury estate, recreational retreat, working farm, self-sufficient homestead, or legacy property to be enjoyed for generations, this is a truly exceptional and irreplaceable offering.
