River-valley farms, mountain timber, and significant recreational and gas-rights activity.
Working farms cluster along the West Branch Susquehanna and tributaries around Muncy, Hughesville, Jersey Shore, and Montgomery. Bottomland here is among the county's most productive.
Many properties have Marcellus history — structuring rights correctly at sale is critical and routinely six-figure-meaningful.
Mountain acreage, hunting tracts, and Pine Creek-area properties (Trout Run, Slate Run, English Center) draw steady out-of-area recreational interest from across the Mid-Atlantic.

Lycoming County splits into a working-farm valley economy and a substantial mountain-timber-recreation economy. Many properties carry significant Marcellus gas-rights history, which materially affects valuation and sale structure.
Per-acre pricing for valley farmland around Muncy, Hughesville, Jersey Shore, and Montgomery typically runs $3,500–$7,000, with quality bottomland higher and mountain wooded acreage often $1,500–$4,000. Properties along the West Branch Susquehanna and Loyalsock Creek command premiums. Gas rights and timber value can add or subtract meaningfully from base value.
The Pine Creek corridor — Trout Run, Slate Run, English Center, and the Tiadaghton State Forest edge — is one of the most desirable recreational and second-home areas in PA. Cabin properties, hunting tracts, and creek-adjacent acreage move year-round with peak interest in fall.
I sell Lycoming County properties with careful attention to gas-rights documentation, honest valuation of all components — ag, timber, gas, recreational — and direct outreach to the right buyer pool for each property type. A valley dairy and a Pine Creek cabin tract are entirely different sales.
Lycoming County valley farmland typically sells in the $3,500–$7,000 per acre range for general crop and pasture. Quality bottomland and operating farms can exceed that. Mountain wooded acreage typically runs $1,500–$4,000 per acre. Gas-rights and timber value materially affect totals.
Local expanding producers, energy-investment buyers, recreational and hunting buyers from out of area, timber buyers, and lifestyle buyers from higher-cost counties.
Well-priced Lycoming County farms typically sell in 90 to 180 days. Complex gas-rights situations can take longer to close cleanly.
