Tom's Treasure
Ask Ron Westover
Tom's Treasure is a 35-acre tract of land located in the quiet setting of southern Clearfield County. This property is completely wooded and stocked with over 300,000 board feet of high-quality mature timber. This is rural Pennsylvania at its best, with small farms scattered throughout the country side. The area will give you the feel and smell of country. Sylvis Road is a secondary road with Route 219 four miles to the west and Route 36 two miles to the east.
This is nicely rectangular shaped piece of property has 860 feet of road frontage on each side of the road. A high value of this property comes from the quality of the timber. The stand is stocked with a nice mix of Red Oak, Tulip Poplar, Soft Maple, Veneer Quality White Oak, Hemlock, and the balance in miscellaneous species. Many trees fall into the 18" to 24" diameter classes. It has been about 20 years since the last timber harvest. The last sale was managed by a consulting forester who conducted a harvest in line with proper thinning and timber stand improvement practices to maximize the accelerated growth of the residual stock. A timber appraisal was completed on June 27, 2023. The volume is estimated at 329,004 board feet, with a value of $96,069. The new buyer will have the opportunity to conduct a timber sale for an immediate return.
The property terrain is slightly sloped providing some nice opportunities for home sites along Sylvis Road. There are a few seasonal streams that run water in normal spring and fall conditions. Electric stops at the neighboring property to the east. There is a gas line through the property on the south side of the road, and an AT&T line on the northern section. Both lines run in an east to westerly direction. The property has good potential for small game and whitetail hunting with an abundance of nut bearing Oaks, Hickory, and Beech. Any hunting stands or shacks to be removed.
