Life on the Mountain
Ask Ron Westover
Discover peaceful mountain living on a mostly wooded 45-acre parcel located in southern Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. This charming 2,203 square foot one-story, wood-sided home offers the ultimate mountain escape. The journey begins just outside the small town of Westover, where a scenic, shared drive winds up Oldaker Lane for about 0.6 miles, gaining elevation until you near the top of the ridge. The Seller will provide a legally recordable Right of Way document for this shared access road. Here, wrapped in peace and quiet, you will find a 2-acre cleared homesite dedicated to the residence. The property also features a small barn with an attached open storage shed—historically used for livestock—offering excellent functional space.
The exterior of the home features nearly 90 feet of wraparound deck offering plenty of space for outdoor living and relaxing. The solid construction of the home features 8” thick walls. A metal roof was installed in 2007. The area around the home is flanked with a selection of shade trees, and the level terrain makes lawn care easy. Private on-lot well and septic systems serve the property.
Step inside the home to experience the rustic feature of natural wood lined walls and ceiling. Each room has a wood feature. The home offers an open floor plan with kitchen and dining room flowing seamlessly into a living room. The kitchen and living room have 10’ high cathedral ceiling, with the center section rising to a 13’ high peak, creating an airy atmosphere. A roomy master bedroom is complimented with a walk-in closet and very nice master bath featuring a walk-in shower. The master bedroom has a private exit to the sweeping wrap around deck. On the opposite side of the house are located two bedrooms, separated by a full shared bathroom. Currently one of the bedrooms is being used as an office.
This home features versatile multi-source heating and a built-in central vacuum system. The main heating system consists of traditional radiators throughout the home, serviced by a coal-fired boiler that needs a basic repair to be fully functional. The coal furnace was the primary heat source until last year. A secondary oil furnace provides heat to the living room and two bedrooms. For zoned climate control, mini-split systems offer heating and cooling in the living room and master bedroom. Supplemental propane heaters are located in the basement and laundry room.
The basement features a large open area with 8’ 10” high ceilings. This area could nicely be finished into a game room, family room, or an additional bedroom. The basement has access via a 30’ ramp to ground level outside. The ramp makes easy access to basement, and could be explored to be made into a handicap ramp.
Outside, your private mountain estate unrestricted acreage provides opportunities for exploration, creating walking trails, hunting, and simply enjoying nature. Despite its extreme seclusion, the property is in close approximately to Route 36. The small town of Westover provides a convenient local general store, while Punxsutawney, Altoona, and Clearfield are within a 45 minute drive, offering easy access to big box stores, restaurants, and theaters.
Additional outdoor recreational opportunities nearby: Prince Gallitzin State Park, Chetremon and Cambrian Hills Golf Courses, Rock Run Recreation Area (ATV Riding), State Game Lands, and Chest Creek – Stocked Trout Stream.
The Seller reserves a right of way across the property to access the adjoining 119-acre parcel.
