Some homes are where you live. This home is one where you can exhale and unwind. Set on 1.73 acres along scenic Pine Rd, this late-1800s farmhouse delivers that rare “weekend-away” feeling—except you get to come home to it every day. The porch is your reset button. Rock gently with a coffee or a cold drink in hand, as birdsong and crickets fill the air and a soft breeze stirs the trees around you. The yard gives you permission to slow down and enjoy the countryside setting. Occasionally, a train whistle calls from afar, reminding you the world is still out there—just not in your way.—country calm with a pulse of nostalgia. The centerpiece of the lifestyle is right across the road: King’s Gap Environmental Education Center, which turns this location into more than an address—it’s a way of living. With 25+ miles of trails connecting multiple day-use areas, and the mountaintop Mansion area offering panoramic views of the Cumberland Valley, you’re never more than a few minutes from fresh air and a mental reset. Open year-round from sunrise to sunset, it’s the kind of everyday escape most people only get on weekends. Living next to an abundance of trails, overlooks, and unspoiled nature brings an instant sense of calm—an opportunity to get grounded that you usually have to drive hours to find. And then there’s the kind of local charm people move here for: the King’s Gap General Store nearby—an old-time spot known for sandwiches, local mementos and crafts, and that “grab something simple and head back to the porch” vibe that makes this location feel like a true retreat instead of just a rural address. Practical value comes with the peaceful setting: geothermal heat, a durable metal roof, and a sturdy and energy-efficient insulated storm door—comfort and efficiency that pay you back season after season. Best part: you get the escape without losing connection—quick access to I-81 for commuting, errands, and everyday convenience, then back home where the pace changes the minute you pull in the drive. Carlisle, Grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment, and downtown are just a short jaunt down the road. If you’ve been craving space, simplicity, and a place that feels like a reset button, you just found it.
