If the feeling of seclusion is your goal, you’ll enjoy this renovated 2024 ranch in the Berkshire Valley section of Wharton, set among the wooded hills of the NJ Highlands. This exceptional retreat is surrounded by acres of dense, verdant woodland with virtually no neighbors in sight: a rare level of seclusion that is nearly impossible to find this close to everyday conveniences. Lake Hopatcong and hiking trails are just minutes away, and the Mt Arlington train station sits roughly five miles from your door, making commuting a seamless part of your day even as you enjoy a lifestyle that feels worlds removed from the ordinary. Inside is a breath of fresh air with tones of bright modern minimalism throughout. The eat-in kitchen includes a unique counter w/seating perfect for casual dining. Open living and dining area boasts warm light wood floors, recessed lighting, modern ceiling fan & sliding glass doors to private deck overlooking wooded backyard. 3 bedrooms continue the cohesive, contemporary feel throughout the home. The full bathroom is impressive with its spacious glass-enclosed walk-in shower w/built-in bench and stackable laundry units. The finished basement is your blank slate ready to make your own. Another full bathroom completes the lower level. Outside you’ll enjoy the salt water in-ground pool & concrete patio, all backed by dense forest stretching up the hillside. Detached garage for storage & workspace. A rare Highlands retreat that must be seen.
