Welcome to 871 Alexander Spring Road, offering an impressive 11.5 acres in a beautiful setting just minutes from downtown Carlisle. With a combination of open and wooded acreage, mature trees, privacy, and substantial existing improvements, this property presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking for land with valuable infrastructure already in place. A major highlight is the 30' x 50' four-car detached garage with four overhead doors, along with an additional 30' x 32' workshop featuring overhead-door access. Both buildings have undergone extensive improvements, including new siding, entry doors, garage doors, windows, lighting, insulation, and mini-split heating and cooling systems. Each building also offers attic storage with pull-down stair access, adding even more usable storage space. Even better, the two buildings are served by a brand-new electrical system dedicated solely to the garages/workshop and separate from the electrical service for a future home. An existing septic system designed to accommodate a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is also already in place, providing another valuable improvement for buyers considering future building plans. The former residence has been removed, leaving an excavated basement area at the former homesite. A paved driveway and other established site improvements remain, giving buyers a head start as they explore the possibilities for the property's next chapter. Surrounded by natural scenery and wildlife, the approximately 11.5 acres provide plenty of room to spread out while keeping everyday conveniences close at hand. Located along Alexander Spring Road with easy access to downtown Carlisle, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and I-81, you'll enjoy a desirable combination of privacy and accessibility. Whether you're envisioning a future homesite, need substantial garage and workshop space, want room for equipment or hobbies, or simply appreciate having acreage with significant improvements already completed, 871 Alexander Spring Road offers an increasingly hard-to-find opportunity.
