    A rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary legacy holding in Middle Paxton Township, Dauphin County known as Flemish Down LLC. This offering consists of approximately 777± contiguous acres across multiple tax parcels, featuring a unique blend of productive farmland, mature timber, mountain land, historic improvements, and approximately one mile of Clarks Creek frontage. The property includes four residential dwellings, all currently rented. The main house located at 1231 Clarks Valley Rd is a substantial historic structure with multiple wings; the west wing ( 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths) is rented, while the center and east wings (approximately 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths) are retained by ownership. Two of the homes include barns. Additional residences include the farmhouse at 1241 Clarks Valley Road (3 bedrooms, 1 full and 1 half bath), the Woody House at 1061 Clarks Valley Road (3 bedrooms, 1 full and 1 half bath), and the Spring House at 1250 Whitetail Lane (3 bedrooms, 2 full baths). Beyond the residences, the property is richly improved with extensive agricultural and historic outbuildings, including approximately 12 stables, barns, an ice house, milk shed, chicken coop, workshop, silo, tractor shed, and additional support structures that reflect the property’s long agricultural heritage. Land use is diversified and income-producing, with residential leases, farming leases, and hunting leases. The hunting leases are annual and expire June 1, 2026: the residential leases are month-to-month; the agriculture lease is partway through a five-year term and expire December 31, 2028. Portions of the forested acreage are managed under a Silviculture Plan, supporting long-term stewardship and sustainability. Flemish Down has been held by the same family for generations, with roots dating back over a century. Historically, portions of the original holdings have been conveyed to conservation organizations and public agencies, including lands now associated with State Game Lands, public conservation, and the Appalachian Trail corridor, underscoring the property’s environmental and regional significance. This offering may appeal to conservation-minded buyers, family real estate trusts, timber companies, and public or quasi-public entities seeking large-scale land acquisition. Marketing will include exposure in the local MLS, commercial real estate platforms, and targeted outreach to qualified private and institutional buyers. Property consists of multiple parcels with varying characteristics, improvements, and encumbrances. Buyers are encouraged to conduct full due diligence regarding acreage, boundaries, leases, and land use restrictions. Shown by appointment only.
