This lake front summer cottage is located on the western shore of Raccoon Island, where the water is deep and the sunset view is magnificent. Raccoon Island is also 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 truly is. The island is quiet and peaceful, and of course car traffic is minimal. In fact, most people say that when you're vacationing on Raccoon Island it doesn't even seem like you're in New Jersey. Some of the homes on the island have more privacy and some have less. Here, the privacy is remarkable. As you can see in the photo, no other homes are within sight. If you’re looking for a secluded getaway on almost one acre where trees are your neighbors, you’ll find it here. In addition to such a wonderful setting there’s more. There’s a boat house and two forty foot long deep water docks. These offer substantial space for docking and sun tanning, and swimming off your dock here is as good as anywhere on the lake. The orientation of the cottage really takes advantage of the beautiful sunset view. Elevated slightly above the water, every room has a view of the lake. And relaxing on the porch or sitting on the deck enjoying sunsets across the water are moments that are sure to create lifetime memories. If you have ever dreamed of owning a vacation home on a private island, less than 1 hour from New York City, this is a golden opportunity to make it come true. Call Chris Edwards for a personal viewing. Chris has been boating on Lake Hopatcong for more than fifty years and has tremendous knowledge of the lake and lake front real estate. You'll be pleased with the results.
