Belles Rd lot: 4 Here is what the market is telling us about rural building lots. Buyers love the idea of country living, but many walk away once they price out a well, a perc test, and a septic system. This lot near Alum Bank takes those costs off the table. Public water and sewer are already on site, and electric is close by. That shortens the path from closing to construction and removes most of the surprises that come with building on raw land. The ground is level and open, with no timber to clear and no hillside to cut into. Excavation and site work stay simple, and the house, driveway, and garage can be laid out however the buyer prefers. The lot suits a modular or stick built home, a single story ranch, a first home, or a spec build for an investor. There is still room for a lawn, raised garden beds, a patio or fire pit, and a small storage shed. The lot also comes with access to a community pool, an amenity rarely found with rural land. It gives families a place to cool off in summer without the entire cost and upkeep of a private pool. The setting is quiet and rural, with the open space and slower pace people come to this area for, while town stays within easy reach. Alum Bank is a small community known for its Classic Weekend each July, with car shows, tractor pulls, a fire company parade, and carnival rides. The borough of Bedford is about fourteen miles away for shopping, dining, and services, and Johnstown is about twenty seven. Outdoor options are strong. Shawnee State Park is roughly ten miles out, with a large lake for boating, fishing, swimming, and camping. Blue Knob State Park offers skiing, hiking, and mountain views. Gallitzin State Forest and nearby State Game Lands give hunters and hikers thousands of acres of public ground, and the region is known for quality trout streams. For history, the Lincoln Highway corridor, Old Bedford Village, and Gravity Hill are all nearby. The Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate Ninety Nine connect to Altoona, Pittsburgh, and beyond. A level, open lot with public utilities in place and a community pool is not common in this part of Pennsylvania. Buyers should confirm utility tap and connection fees and any community association requirements. Contact us to schedule a showing.
