Fully Entitled 1.5-Acre Powered Poconos Basecamp - Ready to Build ($29,900) Stop fighting townships and start building. This 1.5-acre wooded parcel in Coolbaugh Township is a rare, fully entitled off-grid-style lot with a legally recorded, unappealable Zoning Hearing Board variance. The legal war has already been fought and won for you. This property is explicitly approved for a 560-square-foot (14x40) forestry and recreational basecamp structure. With PPL Electric available at the street, this is the ultimate foundation for a powered, high-end hunting camp, equipment vault, or forestry base. Build It Your Way (DIY or Turnkey): The heavy lifting is done, and the blueprint for success is already on the table. The current owner has already secured a detailed site-prep estimate from a trusted local excavator, as well as a quote for a premium, customizable 14x40 structure from a highly reputable local manufacturer. The Turnkey Route: Take our existing estimates, pull your building permit, place the orders, and have the site cleared and the building delivered without the guesswork. The DIY Route: Bring your own excavator, your own crew, or frame it yourself this spring. You control the costs and the timeline. What You Are Buying: The Land: 1.5 acres of mature Poconos timber (R-2 Zoning) with an active Micro-Woodland Management Plan. Owned free and clear with a clean deed, ready for immediate transfer. The Entitlements: The official ZHB decision is in hand and the appeal period has passed. You have the absolute legal right to place or build a 14x40 structure on this lot. The Reality (The Dry-Lot Advantage): This is a designated "dry-lot" parcel due to soil constraints for traditional septic mound systems, meaning primary residential dwellings are prohibited. However, this lot is explicitly approved and perfectly suited for a high-end, off-grid-style footprint. With PPL electric access readily available, the site easily accommodates modern electric incinerating (Incinolet) or high-end composting toilet systems. Agent Disclosure: Owner is a Licensed Real Estate Agent in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
