Woodland Lake Offers Relaxed Lifestyle
Tucked away amid soaring cedar pines and picturesque reservoir in Mendham Township, this tranquil community known as Woodland Lake continues to attract individuals and families to its charming homes and pastoral atmosphere.
Fondly recalled by many as a summer-only retreat dotted by its delightfully quaint bungalows, Woodland Lake is now regarded throughout the region as a year-round lakeside neighborhood that represents one of the metropolitan area's most unique "hidden gems."
With homes made available to only select family members of the community's original owners, Woodland Lake today provides an opportunity for buyers from all over to enjoy a sought-after lifestyle of serenity, safety and convenience.
Members enjoy exclusive amenities such as a clubhouse, private heated pool, tennis courts, playground and full lake privileges for warm weather recreational fun. A variety of bike and hiking trails and campgrounds situated on Morris County park land add to the wide assortment of activities that can be enjoyed all year long.
Quiet, private Woodland Lake roads add an extra measure of safety for young children, and school bus transportation to the blue-ribbon schools of Mendham is provided throughout the school year, with pick-up and drop-off conveniently offered right at the community's entrance.
Homes at Woodland Lake offer a cozy, getaway fell yet are updated with numerous amenities to provide comfort for year-round lakeside living.
A totally renovated cottage at 11 Lake Drive offers two bedrooms, one full bath, hardwood flooring, an abundance of windows, bright kitchen equipped with new appliances and cabinetry and a delightful wrap-around deck for $295,000. Another fully renovated home at 18 Shores Road features five spacious rooms including two bedrooms and two full baths, ample closet and storage space and a gorgeous deck beneath mature trees for $325,000.
With co-op ordinances still strictly enforced, the Woodland Lake community does not allow construction or expansion of homes beyond 3,000 square feet; therefore preserving the the quaint and appealing charm that has been the cornerstone of this neighborhood since its inception more than 40 years ago.
