Step into a unique opportunity to purchase a true piece of Pike County history. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was once the Rowland School House, originally attended by some of the area's earliest settlers in the 1800s. Sitting on a private, fully fenced 0.82-acre lot, this property offers privacy, character, and the chance to bring new life to a historically significant structure.
While the home does need updating and some TLC, it offers a functional layout and a rich history that's hard to find. The expansive wraparound deck provides a great outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining, and a detached garage offers valuable storage or workshop potential. Whether you're looking to renovate for yourself or as an investment, this home presents a rare canvas in a peaceful setting—with no HOA restrictions to limit your vision.
The lot provides plenty of space for gardening, recreation, or expansion. The wooded lot and natural surroundings create a tranquil backdrop, and the fenced yard offers added privacy and peace of mind. Inside, the home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with multiple living spaces that could be reimagined to suit modern needs while still preserving the historic charm.
Located just minutes from the Lackawaxen River, renowned for fishing and kayaking, as well as Woodloch Resort and Big Bear Ski Mountain, you'll have year-round access to outdoor adventure and recreation. This property is ideal for those with vision—someone who appreciates history and is ready to put in the work to bring it back to life.
Don't miss your chance to own a truly distinctive property with deep local roots and exciting potential. Schedule your showing today and start planning the transformation.
