Our Take
14 Mohawk Trail is a 1930 seasonal cottage in Sandy Hook, across the road from Lake Zoar. The property includes a generously sized lot with off-street parking, and the yard and front porch windows offer lake views. Cedarhurst Association membership, listed at $300 annually, provides lake access, a boat ramp, docks, and kayak racks. The home needs remodeling, is offered as is, and will not qualify for conventional financing. The roof and electrical panel appear to be brand new.

Read the full listing description
Welcome to 14 Mohawk Trail in Sandy Hook, the future home of your weekend getaways. This diamond in the rough, Seasonal Cottage, is perfectly situated across the road from Lake Zoar with a generously sized lot and a nice niche carved out for plenty of off-street parking. What an amazing view from your yard and front porch windows. Typically something money cannot buy, but right now it can. Bring your tools and imagination and build an endless amount of sweat equity. With some work, this home can be converted to a 4 seasons home where you can live, play, and work everyday feeling like you are on vacation. For only $300 annually and you have Lake Access, a Boat Ramp, Docks, and Kayak Racks with your mandatory membership to the Cedarhurst Association. Roof appears to be brand new, as well as the electrical panel. Check out the drone footage of what you will see every single day. The lake is amazing. It is no secret that this home needs remodeling, whether you are looking for a place to land or maybe an investment, or maybe even a VRBO, there is so much potential and equity to be made. Home is to be sold "as is" and will not qualify for conventional financing, but perhaps your dreams, a great blueprint, and a renovation mortgage may make it happen. Cash preferred.
