3035 Stillhouse Hollow Road Rd

There are properties you tour, and then there are properties you feel the moment you arrive. Tucked away on nearly sixty private acres in the rolling hills of Shippensburg, this extraordinary retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and seamless access to the outdoors. Bordering thousands of acres of the Michaux State Forest, the property enjoys a setting that feels both intimate and free. While the land itself encompasses nearly sixty acres, the experience extends far beyond its boundaries. Thousands of acres of protected forest stretch directly from your backyard, creating a sense of freedom and connection to the landscape that is seldom found in South Central Pennsylvania. The approach to the home sets the tone for what lies ahead. As the drive winds through the woods, the pace of everyday life begins to fade and the surrounding views gradually open. Though conveniently located near Interstate 81 and within reach of Maryland, the property feels worlds away, offering a peaceful retreat defined by quiet woods and sweeping mountain vistas. Outdoors, the land has been thoughtfully stewarded for recreation and enjoyment. More than two miles of private shale-lined trails wind through the forest, leading past a carefully planted wildlife food plot that regularly draws whitetail deer and wild turkey. With direct access to Michaux State Forest, the opportunities for hiking, hunting, and horseback riding extend for miles beyond the property itself. The home is positioned to take full advantage of its remarkable setting. A west-facing Trex deck overlooks nearly twenty miles of uninterrupted valley views, creating a space where mornings begin slowly and sunsets become a daily ritual. It is a view that transforms with the seasons and one that the current owners say will be the hardest part of leaving behind. The grounds are equally inviting. A three-stall horse barn with tack room and hay loft is ready for equestrian use, while a run-in shed with electric and water provides additional flexibility for livestock or equipment. A large pole barn offers generous storage with a rear loft ideal for firewood. Nearby, a charming she-shed creates a peaceful space for creative pursuits, hobbies, or a small home business. A waterfall koi pond, newly planted orchard trees, and carefully updated landscaping complete the outdoor setting, adding to the sense of tranquility that defines the property. Inside, warmth and comfort take center stage. The home offers more than 2,100 finished square feet above grade, complemented by a finished walk-out lower level that expands the living space. The renovated kitchen and living area flow naturally together, highlighted by natural wood tones and scenic views from nearly every room. The lower level centers around a wood stove and features updated luxury vinyl flooring with direct access to the north side of the property. Three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations, while the attached two-car garage with epoxy floors and new doors offers a clean and functional space with a polished finish. Properties of this scale and setting are increasingly rare in South Central Pennsylvania. With nearly sixty private acres, direct access to Michaux State Forest, and panoramic mountain views, this offering represents a truly exceptional opportunity for those seeking a mountain retreat, equestrian property, or private recreational estate. The property was appraised in November 2025 for $1,500,000.
