About 10491 River Rd
This one-of-a-kind property in New Columbia offers far more than just a beautiful home and a renovated event venue—it presents a compelling opportunity to live, work, and serve from one well-positioned parcel. Set on a quiet country road in White Deer Township, Union County, the property includes two distinct structures: a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence and the Odd Fellows Barn, a restored ADA-compliant event facility, all situated on land zoned Village District and designated under Land Use Code 403 – Commercial Combination.
The home itself provides over 2,000 square feet of comfortable, functional living space, with a generous kitchen, formal living and dining rooms, and a flexible office or den on the first floor. Upstairs features three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite, two full baths, and ample storage including attic access. The home’s classic layout makes it perfect for full-time occupancy, a weekend retreat, or even use as guest housing or an onsite office for event staff.
At the rear of the property, the Odd Fellows Barn stands as a striking focal point—beautifully converted in 2019 into a modern event and gathering space while preserving its historic charm. The building is fully ADA accessible, featuring dual ramp entrances, wide double doors, and accessible restrooms. With parking for over 50 vehicles, the venue is ideal for weddings, fundraisers, community events, and more. It is currently operated by Lewisburg Lodge #96 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a nonprofit organization that has served the local community since 1844 and continues to steward the space with care and purpose. The venue has an active social presence via @oddfellowsbarn, showcasing its style and versatility.
Zoned Village, this property falls within one of White Deer Township’s most adaptable land categories—designed to support a mix of residential, light commercial, civic, and public uses. Combined with its Commercial Combination (403) land use classification, the site is ideally suited for continued mixed-use operation or thoughtful expansion. Potential future uses (subject to local review) may include boutique retail, educational workshops, wellness or arts studios, nonprofit programming, or even the development of a small business campus or co-working retreat. The current setup is already in full alignment with zoning, streamlining both financing and transition.
This property isn’t just move-in ready—it’s mission-ready. Whether you're a homeowner seeking a flexible homestead, a visionary investor, or a community leader ready to grow your impact, 10491 River Rd offers the platform, infrastructure, and story to make it happen.
