Map This Listing

Switchgrass is an extraordinary expanse of prime acreage in desirable Saucon Valley. One of few remaining large parcels in the area, the 26-acre setting offers a vast stretch of open land buffered by a wooded hillside and treed hedgerows. This pristine property is currently enrolled in the Clean and Green Act for preferential tax assessment and is the perfect location for an estate home with spectacular views or a gentleman's farm with plentiful pasture areas. Preliminary site work, perc testing, and conditional township approvals give developers the option of an exclusive six home subdivision.  Recently constructed, a three bay garage with workshop and second floor stands ready to accommodate various needs.
 

Ultra peaceful and private, there is no sense of isolation here. Access to Interstate 78, prestigious hospitals and universities, and a host of shopping, dining and recreational venues is just minutes from Switchgrass.
