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

Meanwhile, here are a couple video posts for you:

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.

Perhaps you're interested in Stockholm NJ homes for sale.  Whether looking for a vacation property or primary residence, Sussex County is a totally rural, mountainous region within the greater Metro New York area - about 50 miles from NY City. Cool mountain air, crystal lakes, a slower pace and reasonable prices for homes for sale have always been inviting.

One attraction with Stockholm NJ homes for sale is the many Lakes: Tamarack, Deer Trail, Stockholm, Gerard, Summit and Beaver. It even has a nudist club, Rock Lodge that dates at least to 1940, based on the shown ad. I've touched previously on the background of our lake communities in this part of my series: Vacation Homes in Sussex County NJ - A Long Tradition! Somehow I don't see a post on Rock Lodge in my future - distant past, sure, but I wasn't blogging in my 20s.

 If you're seeking reasonably-priced Stockholm NJ homes for sale, consider a 4 bedroom Cape Cod, 3 Laurel Court. Beautiful wooded, private location without association restrictions and fees on the property! We've had many showings in the 17 days that this value-priced home has been on the market and I'm betting it will not be long before it goes under contract - so don't delay.

UPDATE: I'll be hosting an Open House at 3 Laurel Court in Stockholm NJ on Sunday, April 11 from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. This 4 bedroom home for sale, priced lower than even the 3 bedrooms in Stockholm, has generated a lot of interest. I predict this will be the first and last Open. So if you are thinking about a vacation home or new residence, come on Sunday!

********************************************************************

Still in time to benefit from the home buyer tax credits, I've just signed listing paperwork on a 4 bedroom, 1 bath Cape Cod. Located in the Stockholm section of Hardyston, this move-in condition home for sale is withing walking distance to one of Sussex County's few NJ Transit stops.  Perfect for commuters or New Yorkers looking for a vacation home in Sussex County!

Somewhat backwards, the seller has already purchased his new home: Agent 007 Works Magic - A Sussex County NJ real estate success story. The romantic aspect of this decision is a great one and the new place now is in wonderful shape. So time for me to get this 4 bedroom Stockholm NJ home for sale on the market and sold.  A solid Cape surrounded by woodlands, this will appeal both to year-round residents and those wanting a vacation property in our mountainous county.

Dr. Michael Hallacker, Chiropractor, has been helping me enormously for a year now. I've experienced unbelievable pain relief! Hallacker Chiropractic Center is at 2764 Route 23 North, Stockholm, NJ 07460; email is optimumhealth@drhallacker.com. Throughout the community, this family man is better known as Dr. Mike.

When the orthopedist couldn't do more, medication didn't work, physical therapy had minimal results and my pain levels soared, I was not a very happy camper. Hurting all the time stinks and negatively impacts every facet of our lives.  At Hardyston Day a year ago, my colleague introduced me to a fellow volunteer - Dr. Michael Hallacker of the Hallacker Chiropractic Center in Sussex County NJ. My coworker was a patient of Dr. Mike and praised his work.

Hallacker Chiropractic Center offers a holistic approach. Exercise, nutrition, stress reduction are all part of the healing practices that Dr. Mike preaches.  My first stop was Dr. Mike's monthly Wellness Seminar. What a great learning experience, as I knew nothing about chiropractors. Then I literally put myself in Dr. Mike's capable hands - and haven't regretted one moment!

While I knew chiropractors treated bad backs, they help many "body parts." Benefits aren't just for those in pain. Even young athletes rely on Dr. Mike Hallacker Chiropractor to improve performance and maintain fitness, thereby avoiding injuries! The center offers "Optimal Health and Fitness Classes" too!

Worried about medical insurance? So was I because mine didn't cover chiropractic care.  The Hallacker Chirpractic Center team will quickly set your mind at ease. Terri will interface with your insurance company and find a win-win solution, so don't let this prevent you from getting help. Terri will also squeeze you into the appointment roster, greet you with a smile and kind word, and make it seem like a pleasure to assist in any way possible. Just call Terri at Hallacker Chiropractic 937-697-2800.

Although Hallacker Chiropractic Center is located in the Stockholm section of Hardyston, NJ, Dr. Mike has regular hours in Franklin as well. He has an office within Nitro Fitness, even more convenient to fit into my schedule. Bet Dr. Mike's athletes also love the second location, as do the members of the Nitro gym!

Within 50 miles of Manhattan, weekend getaway or vacation homes for sale in Sussex County NJ, are very appealing to folks looking for a "country home" with little upkeep required.  Prices have fallen drastically, so more people from New York City are purchasing vacation homes in the rural Sussex area. Folks from other distant areas are also jumping on the bandwagon!

Vacation properties in Sussex County being purchased by distant owners is nothing new. In 1961 my great-uncle Joe and aunt Dot purchased a summertime log cabin in Lake Tamarack, Stockholm NJ. Brooklyn apartment dwellers, Dot and her 2 boys spent the entire summer enjoying the mountain air, lakes, hiking, etc. Joe came weekends and for his week's vacation. Dot's brother from Staten Island owned a lakefront cottage down the road; most of the neighbors were also city-dwellers seeking a great place to spend the summer.

The history of other vacation communities within Sussex, NJ is similar. Over time, most of the summer homes in Lake Mohawk, Scenic Lakes, Highland Lakes, etc., were converted for year-round residency or replaced by more modern homes.

The get-away appeal of Sussex County, NJ, is nothing new! Nor is it limited to summers - year round relaxation, strenuous sports and nature offer a 4-season change of pace. No matter what one's age, Sussex County NJ resort homes make a great place to have some fun.

In this little series of posts, we'll take a peek at why New Yorkers and even folks who own a beach house at Long Beach Island still want a ski condo near Mountain Creek, a small home adjoining Ballyowen Golf Course or one of the many other weekend getaway homes we have for sale in Sussex County!
