What a Location! Rare Riverfront Lodge on the Legendary & Highly Sought After Monument Pool of the West Branch Delaware River. The Ultimate Outdoor Retreat! A truly rare opportunity to own a mostly furnished lodge-style home with 450 yards of direct frontage on the magical Monument Pool of the West Branch Delaware River. Set on over 4 private, wooded acres in the Pennsylvania mountains, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is finished in warm pine and built for comfort, connection to nature, and adventure in every season. The lodge features a screened porch, mid-deck, and lower patio overlooking the river, plus an open concept living space with a wood stove. Upstairs, you'll find generous bedrooms designed for peaceful relaxation, while the walk-out basement includes space for gear and fly-tying. A detached 2-car garage has room for cars or big toys, and all your outdoor essentials. Whether you love fishing, hunting, hiking, or simply relaxing by the water, this location delivers. Just downstream from the private waters of the West Branch Angler and steps from thousands of acres of PA State Game Lands, you'll have year-round access to trout fishing, hunting, and endless ways to enjoy the outdoors. Launch a boat from your own private property between Hale Eddy and Balls Eddy or explore nearby shops and dining. Bring your gear, stock the fridge, and settle in. Properties like this don't come around often--don't miss your chance to own a piece of riverfront paradise.
