Property Description
This vintage lake front summer cottage is located on Raccoon Island less than one hour from New York City! This is the only island in Lake Hopatcong with a ferry. You simply drive your car onto the ferry and you're easily transported from the mainland to the island. This is one of the reasons why many people have been Raccoon Island homeowners for decades. Having to travel to your home by ferry makes the island seem like a "vacation destination" and it is. The island is quiet and peaceful, car traffic is minimal and many people say when you're vacationing on Raccoon Island it doesn't even seem like you're in New Jersey. This is an older home with the charm of days gone by yet features 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a fireplace. There is even a rocking chair front porch and the sunset views across the water are amazing. The huge property measures 0.6 acres with more than 200' of shoreline. And there is almost 1,000 square feet of dock providing lots of space for boats, kayaks, canoes and all type of water toys. The water is deep here and it's great for swimming and fishing. If you have ever dreamed of owning a home on an island this may be the chance to make your dream come true. Call now for more information. The ferry fee is $8.
