Each of these has its own deed. The cottage property is one of the only properties in this area that has retained its \"grandfathered\" status in the Swatara Creek floodplain which means that the entire structure from ground level on up is completely covered by flood insurance. This property has many opportunities. It could be used as a business operating recreational day camps, outdoor training, fishing/watersport access, or other approved business. It also could be structured as a corporate retreat center or possibility of a day business retreat/meeting location. The opportunity exists (through approval of the township) to turn this property into a vacation rental which should command top prices given the privacy and recreational potential. There are numerous properties in the village of Union Deposit that have been converted to vacation rentals and are commanding $1200 to $2200 per week for vacation rentals. Hershey and the Central PA area have events year-round.This property is exactly 4 minutes drive to Hershey Park. It is also just 15 minutes to Harrisburg, 30 minutes to Amish Country, 3 hours to New York, less than 2 hours to Baltimore, 2.5 hours to DC. With this property being centrally located, the options are endless for the creative investor. Since I am now living permanently in Montana and do not get to this property as much, I desire to sell it.The property has not been appraised in the last three years. Last appraisals on the three (separately deeded) properties were: Main house on 1/2acre - $264,000; lot - $38,000; cottage & outbuildings on 1acre - $118,000. I am selling all three together for the price of $384,000. You can have instant equity in these properties with room for renovating.If you study the Central PA area, land and housing prices have not been affected by the downturn in housing seen in much of metropolitan USA. The Hershey area is one of the best areas for vacationing as you can see/visit so many different attractions (without major traffic concerns or overcrowded events) from amusement parks to Amish Country to easy access to Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, and DC.Please email me with interest. The property is currently managed by a local caretaker. Appointments necessary. Since this property is located down a road shared by private property owners (not for public access), I wont release the address on this post. Without a scheduled appointment with the caretaker expecting your arrival, any persons not invited will be considered trespassing.You may reach me by phone at 406-697-6215.Flathead Lake Kalispell Montana Missoula Mountain Billings Red Lodge Rocky Mountain Vacation Retreat Yellowstone Park Glacier Park Location: Hershey PA for Billings MTits NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
