MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T REFUSE

Park your boat in front of your house. Take a midnight swim.

Go fishing for that whopper any time you want.

Thank you for your interest. The lot is irregular in shape, being just over a tenth of an acre. 35 feet on the lake front side and 128.5 in depth (a little shorter on the other two sides).  

The house is a former fishing cabin that was expanded and winterized when I-80 opened up. Roughly 750 square feet, and consists of 2 bed rooms, 1 bath, a living room/ dinning room, and a galley kitchen, all on one floor. The basement is at ground level, on the lake side of the house, thou mostly it consists of crawl spaces. She has a roofed porch for the ‘front door’ (side) and had a deck on the lake side, with a sliding door. There are concrete steps leading down into the water for swimmers, but everyone jumps in off the dock.

I was in the middle of renovating so that’s why I structured the asking price as I did. None of it is really beyond the skill level of a good handy-man home owner. And if you want to live in her while you do the work; that can be done. 

A little about the place.

Lake Hopatcong was once two lakes, but the lower one was dammed, and used as a water source for the Morris Canal. When the canal was dismantled, the height of the dam was increased till now the water level is listed as 924 feet above sea level. And if you’re into fishing, I’ve seen (but never caught) bass and cat fish well over a foot long. Maybe 18” or more. No fish tale.

I am a gardener, but I lost a lot of the good soil I had built up when they put the sewer lines in. So the veggie garden last year was turned in to a large compost pile. If you’re into gardening (Hey this is the Garden State) you’ll have a rich soiled garden next year. I was looking forward to it, but…

They're not making any more lake front... so lets talk.

Call 973-876-4791 and make me an offer. You might be surprised at what I'll accept.
