Homes for Sale in Tafton: Tanglwood North, Pike County PA

Pike County Pennsylvania is home many home owner associations / communities (also referred to as developments).  These developments are often quite different from one another by way of yearly dues, amenities offered, and lot sizes.  I'd like to introduce you to one of the more low-key Pike County communities: Tanglwood North, in Tafton PA.

Located in the Wallenpaupack Area School District, Tanglwood North is built up around a mountain - and a ski area!  Lot sizes range from about a half acre to an acre or so in size. The community offers centralized water, but each home will have its own septic system.  This community is well suited for those who wish to be in this lovely part of the Poconos without having to pay high community dues for amenities they probably won't be using.

There are a variety of homes for sale in Tanglwood North, ranging from simple chalets to more traditional Colonials as well as contemporary styles.  Currently there are around 300 homes in Tanglwood North, with another 435 vacant lots.

The main entrance to Tanglwood North is on Route 390 in Tafton, only a couple miles from Interstate 84 (Exit 26).  While the community is not gated, the private roads are for members and their guests only.

Tafton, like many little hamlets in the Poconos of Northeastern PA, is really quite small and rural; nearby Hawley is only about ten minutes away and offers supermarkets, pharmacies, a library, and several shops and restaurants. 

HOMES FOR SALE IN TANGLWOOD NORTH

There are currently 17 homes for sale in Tanglwood North (based on the Pike/Wayne MLS).  These homes range in price from $134,900 to $339,900.

My favorite one from the pick is this 1600 s.f. gambrel style chalet for only $159,000.  It is a warm and inviting home, and it has been very well maintained. The traditional lodge styling makes it appealing for those looking for a mountain home - this is IT!

Among its virtues are the dramatic knotty pine cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, finished basement, garage, wrap around deck, and my personal favorite- a screened porch!

This three bedroom, two bath home is bright and airy inside, with newer carpet and lots of light.  It's well worth taking a look...and it's in move-in condition.

You must see it to believe it - the pictures can not caputre the true character of this gem hidden in the woods!

Here is the list of all the homes for sale in Tanglwood North - definitely one of the Pike County communities to consider, when choosing a quiet place for your Pocono Mountain retreat.

EXCELLENT LOCATION - TERRIFIC HIGHWAY EXPOSURE - IT'S THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OF THE YEAR!

The Lake Wallenpaupack region is the one of the main hubs of the tourism industry in Northeastern PA.  Every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors and vacation home owners spend their weekends and vacations in the Hawley - Lake Wallenpaupack region. 

Two spacious commercial buildings for sale, on over 1/2 acre (0.636 acre) are in a prime business location on Route 6, just a minute away from Lake Wallenpaupack and another minute from downtown Hawley.  This is a key location - it is right on the "main drag."

The owners have stated that their business increased by 300% when they moved their business to this location. 

(So why is it for sale, you ask?  Simple - the owners are ready to retire and do other things.)

At present, this historic building is being used as a successful retail trade business - a combination of antiques and gifts.  Due to its flexible and versatile floor plan & industrial zoning, the property is quite suitable for any number of businesses, including the following possibilities:

• Medical, insurance, or other office
• Small restaurant/cafe
• Retail trade
• Business/residence - at one time there was a 3 bedroom apartment inside the building.  The owners revamped most of that space for retail showrooms, but the kitchen and bath remain - it would be a simple project to build some walls and once again have a private apartment on the property!
• Workshop/warehouse/furniture refinishing
• Art gallery/studio

Important:  check with Hawley Borough supervisors for approval of all projects, however! 

The current owners are only the third owners of this property and have owned it since 1987.  Originally, the main building (3,800 square feet) served as the Hawley Electric Plant. (See historical pictures here!)  In the 1970's, it was the location for the LaTournas cut glass business. 

Other features of the property include:

• Working fireplace
• 1,500 square foot metal building, heated; suitable for workshop, storage, more retail space.
• Public water & sewer
• 1 car standard garage
• Large amounts of storage space
• Ample parking

The current price of $479,900 is for the buildings and land only.  The merchandise and equipment can be negotiated at a reasonable price if interested.

Additional photos & local information below.  More information will be posted soon.  Please contact me for more information or to see this property.
