Sheesh! Thats a lot of $$$.

Beautiful piece of land at the end of Peter's Mtn directly across the Susquehanna River from Duncannon...

Yesh, but I want....

I wonder how it's zoned. Listing says perfect for dream home or corporate retreat; does that rule out subdivisions with lots of houses?

Also wonder if the Nature Conservancy or any local land trusts are interested.

Ha, that is some realtor's method of getting the asking price up high enough so the real negotiations start at a higher price. For $2.1 million you could get ocean front property in a place that has way nicer weather (and probably way fewer rocks).

Only $30,000/acre for land with no commercial value.

I have had the opportunity to go to several DuP1ont Retreats... once built they are awesome - generally they are unmarked unmapped compounds for the family and freinds - they have main house -support entertaining structures, landscaping offices, farming garages, Hunting rooms and rifles rooms and a long motel that is awesome with kitchens for 200 guests. don't disparage what you see... you are underthinking this.

The rich always take good care of themselves.

To be more clear, this property has nothing to do with the "DuPont Families". It is simply the name of the online publishing company.

The rich always take good care of themselves.

Thread hijack: the rich have, for the most part, worked their way up over many years, if not decades, if not generations, to be able to take good care of themselves.

Good for most of them. They aren't stealing from anyone. Anyone, so far in America, should be able to do so, IF they have the initiative, willpower and, yes, some luck.

If the land is next to the river it is probaly on a floodplane, totaly unbuildable.
