Property Description
The property has approximately 1,760 feet of road frontage on Globe Run Road and 3,100 feet of frontage on Eberle Road. The main entrance is located at 5126 Eberle Road.
This fantastic camp facility is located just 20-30 minutes from State College, Pennsylvania. With abundant, developable road frontage, completely wooded and beautifully aesthetic camp facilities, beautiful 7 acre pond, developed trail systems and plenty of room to expand, this property makes a great investment for a long-term youth camp, religious or holistic retreat, healing center, or just a wonderful private use camp or hunting and fishing retreat.
Upon entering the driveway past the “Golden Pond” sign at the road, the winding gravel road is a short, but pretty drive to the main complex of buildings. The “Ranger’s House” is a year-round, 6” tongue and groove log home in a wooded setting. It measures about 1,305 sf and has a full kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. It sits on a full cinderblock wall basement foundation. Electric baseboard heating is the primary source for heat. It also has a separate area for washer/dryer, 200 amp electric, and air conditioning. The basement is largely unfinished and has a deep sink and a ½ bath. The lovely wrap-around deck provides views of either the capstone feature, Lake Louise, or of the forest.
Lake Louise is a beautiful, approximately 7 acre pond with a man-made pond dike structure. Lake Louise is loaded with fish and is home to many ducks and geese throughout the year. It is used primarily for canoeing and kayaking and has a floating dock that is ready for use. The property comes complete with kayaks, canoes and life jackets to start making your own memories with today! A color-coded and marked trail system extends around each side of the pond.
Continuing inward, Legacy Lodge is a log-sided, 4,400 sf structure used as both the primary dining hall facility and for overnight camping rentals. It has a capacity of 60 campers. This building has also been rented for weddings in the past. The “Schreyer Family Great Hall” is exquisitely done, with hardwood floors on the main hall and ceramic tile at the entrances. The hand-laid stone fireplaces at each end of the hall, along with the open rafter ceiling, create a warm and awe-inspiring feeling upon entry. It has a full commercial, stainless steel kitchen that comes complete with everything you need to start serving upon purchase. Commercial stove, oven, refrigerator and freezer combo, pots, pans, dishware, silver and more are just some of what is included. See the list on our website for complete details.
