Mountain timber, recreational acreage, and one of PA's least-developed counties.
Sullivan County is one of PA's least populated counties — the second-smallest by population. The land market is small but real, with consistent specialized demand.
Hardwood timber, recreational land, and small rural homesteads dominate. Working farms are scarce, mostly small operations in the few cleared valleys.
Out-of-area hunters and the historic Eagles Mere resort community drive most of the buyer pool. Eagles Mere is a unique high-end lake community that supports premium real estate values.

Out-of-area hunters, cabin buyers, and remote-lifestyle buyers make up most of the buyer pool.
Sullivan County is small, mountainous, and lightly populated. The land market here is recreational and timber more than agricultural, with working farms scattered and small around Laporte, Dushore, Forksville, and Mildred.
Per-acre pricing for general wooded acreage typically runs $1,500–$4,000, with cabin sites, timber-rich tracts, properties with utilities, and Eagles Mere-area parcels going considerably higher. The Eagles Mere community itself sustains premium pricing entirely different from the rest of the county — it's effectively a separate real-estate market.
The Loyalsock State Forest, World's End State Park, the Loyalsock Creek, and the surrounding hardwood country all support a real recreational market. Hunting clubs, fly-fishermen, and cabin buyers from the Philadelphia metro, Lehigh Valley, and NYC regularly close properties here, especially August through February.
I sell Sullivan County properties as the recreational and lifestyle land they are, with honest descriptions and accurate pricing for the specialized buyer pool. Patient marketing of 6–12 months is normal here; quick turnaround is the exception, not the rule.
Sullivan County land typically sells in the $1,500–$4,000 per acre range for general wooded acreage. Cabin sites and timber-rich tracts can exceed $6,000 per acre.
Hunters and recreational buyers from out of area, timber buyers, hunting clubs, remote-lifestyle buyers, and occasional retirees.
Well-priced Sullivan County properties typically sell in 120 to 240 days. Specialized buyer pool means patient marketing is essential.
