Open House, Sunday July 25 at 9 Beaver Trail, Lake Tamarack, Stockholm - Hardyston NJ

Open House, Sunday July 25.  9 Beaver Trail, Lake Tamarack, Stockholm - Hardyston NJ

9 Beaver Trail, Lake Tamarack home for sale, Stockholm NJ

 Those interested in a vacation property in a Sussex County NJ lake community and folks wanting a small ranch home for sale with an easy commute are likely visitors to my Open House at 9 Beaver Trail in the Stockholm section of Hardyston.  I'll open the doors on Sunday the 25th at 1:00 p.m. and start packing up at 3:30, unless demand dictates I stay later.

 Even though it needs work, I expect this Lake Tamarack home to be very popular. When listed, it was the second cheapest and had BY FAR the largest lot.  Yesterday another seller reduced the asking price, so we are now third on the list. That GSMLS currently indicates 9 Beaver Trail will be the only Lake Tamarack Open House on July 19 - that too could change once other agents read this post. LOL.

 Because 9 Beaver Trail is a furnished (and small) home, I'll only let one party in at a time.  To avoid long waits, I ask potential buyers working with a real estate agent to get him or her to show you the home. Why wait in line when your agent can help avoid that?

9 Beaver Trail - Stockholm NJ home for sale. Vacation or live here!

Meanwhile, here are a couple video posts for you:

This lake community ranch home for sale sits on a double lot - THE largest now available for sale, yet it is the second cheapest within Lake Tamarack. Used for 45 years by one New York family as a summer vacation property. (Per Mapquest, 9 Beaver Trail in Stockholm NJ is about 43 miles from midtown Manhattan.)

Note: On July 19 another seller reduced the price. As a result, 9 Beaver Trail became the third cheapest within Lake Tamarack.  Open House on July 25.

Those who regularly read my blog know I've written a lot about the lake communities in Sussex County NJ.  A year-round paradise, these homes for sale are very popular both as permanent residences and vacation properties, averaging 50 miles from New York City, Here are some of the reasons people love the 34-acre Lake Tamarack in the Stockholm section of Hardyston Township.

 

Lake Tamarack, a wonderful Sussex County NJ choice

Stockholm - Hardyston, 07460

Located within the Stockholm section of Hardyston NJ, Tamarack is a private lake community with roughly 320 homes.

Right off Route 23, where there is an NJ Transit bus stop, this is wonderful community. Once all summer cabins, most are now year round homes in a town with a well-rated school system.

Members (residents and their guests) can swim, fish or boat in the 34 acre lake. Located in the front-range hills of the Appalachians, there are ski slopes in the next town.

In addition to dropping the price more than $25000, the sellers have added an incentive of up to $8000 towards closing costs.

Considering that this breathtaking 2002 custom Colonial on 32 acres is now less than $700000, an $8000 incentive is amazing!

  • Lovely as a year-round home, a spectacular vacation property less than 60 miles from New York- Manhattan, per MapQuest, or a bed and breakfast on the site of Kilpatrick's Reenactment. (CNN's Lou Dobbs lives on a different Wantage farm.)

You won't be doing tons of repairs, so both your toolbox and credit card can gather dust! Frankford NJ shares a zip code with Branchville, so 11 Worthington Road may appear as in either town based on how a website designates.  Make no mistake, however. It is the same 3 bedroom ranch home in wonderful condition - inside and out. The great condition lends special appeal to New Yorkers seeking a carefree, year-round vacation property in the mountains but it also would be a fabulous residence.

Not all seeking homes for sale want to play handyman or handywoman - or pay a contractor to perform those services. Even if you did want to tinker, I suspect new septic installation might be beyond your goals! 11 Worthington Road boasts recent well & septic work, carpets, paint, appliances, etc. Both your toolbox and credit card will get a break giving you more time (and $$$) to enjoy other amenities in the Frankford - Branchville area.  Sussex County NJ is a fabulous spot 12 months a year: golf 3 seasons, ski in winter, pick apples in autumn, hike in spring, swim in summer.  Or get pampered in an area spa when you're not feeling sportive!

     A big thanks to my motivated seller, Marge, for the toolbox-credit card angle! She is eager to discuss your offer on this ranch home for sale at 11 Worthington Road, Frankford NJ!

Minerals Resort Hotel and Spa - Vacation Ski Condos for Sale, Vernon NJ

Irene Kennedy's photo of Minerals Resort and Spa Vernon NJ

Minerals Resort is a lovely and popular vacation spot in Sussex County NJ - about 50 miles from New York City. Even on this off-season weekend, the hotel was fully occupied. The delightful indoor and outdoor pools, spa, fitness center, indoor tennis courts, handball, basketball, sauna and steam room make this a great getaway. Only skiing at Mountain Creek is seasonal! Several of these Vernon NJ condos are for sale.

For information on the optional rental pool that owners may join, see RealtorIrene Blogs about Sussex County NJ Real Estate: Short Sale - Minerals Resort Hotel and Spa - Vernon Vacation or Ski Condo - Income-Producing Sussex County NJ real estate for sale.

Just today following checkout time, I showed a couple from New York City Minerals Resort condos for sale and we wrote up an offer on one! Alas, it is significantly below the list price of $50,000.  Now, remember that there are only two styles of condos. To be in the rental program, each must be in pristine condition and furnished identically. So, we can readily compare apples to apples.

Minerals Hotel & Spa Activity on Ski or Vacation Condos for sale Over the last 6 months, 2 like Minerals condos sold - $30K and $31K.  As the listing agent for the one currently Under Contract, I can vouch that this sale will be right in line with the others.

 My potential buyers of this Minerals Resort condo are saavy. I showed them this information - also relayed to the listing agent when I called him about our offer.

What would you have offered for an identical Minerals Resort and Hotel condo for sale?
