Beautiful Hemlock Farms

Jason Feinman, Realtor, e-PRO: Real Estate Agent in East Stroudsburg, PA

Imagine yourself in a "Fantasy land for adults", as my most recent home buyer put it. A community that is private and quiet yet offers the luxuries and protection you would find in a large town. Hemlock Farms has its' own fire and rescue squad, public safety force, church, synagogue, clubhouse with snack bar, library, pools (indoor and outdoor), beaches, lakes, fishing, boating, ball fields, ice skating and so much more. There is even an apple orchard you can pick fresh apples in. Hemlock Farms is also neighbors with Lords Valley Country Club, and offers some of the finest golf in the entire Poconos. The list of ongoing activities and clubs is endless. Shopping is right outside the community in the form of a Weis supermarket and the community is less than 2 miles from I-84. Everyone of my buyers has had nothing but rave reviews of the community and many home sellers there never even leave the community, they just buy a larger home within! Some home owners there have bought 2 and 3 homes! One of my clients is friends with the seller of her home who moved a couple blocks away! Try finding that in just any ordinary community! I invite you to see what Hemlock Farms is all about by calling me, Jason Feinman of Weichert, Realtors - Acclaim at 570-242-0299 or 570-629-6100. If you go to my #1 ranked Pocono real estate web site: www.YourPoconoHome.net, you can find a link to Hemlock Farms web site, and a full search of Hemlock Farms homes from the Pike County Multiple Listing Service. I hope you will make Hemlock Farms the place for "Your Pocono Home"!

The Poconos are the idyllic setting for your “Dacha” – Affordably have your vacation home or second home!

Renée (Renee) Hoover - Poconos, Pike, Wayne, Monroe Co: Real Estate Sales Person in Milford, PA

Dacha is the “Russian word for a seasonal or year-round second home” typically located outside the cities, according to Wikipedia.

They began to appear in Russia during the reign of Peter the Great as small estates in the country. The Dacha evolved through the years; some became a place of gardening for those who worked in the cities. (Source – Wikipedia)

The Poconos have become a highly sought out location for the Dacha, and those who have longed for a vacation home or second home. It is a wonderful concept that manBeautiful Lakesy have embraced. The Pike, Wayne and Monroe County areas of the Poconos and Northeastern PA, have the unique advantage of an ideal location for the Dacha or vacation home:

- close proximity and easy commute to the New York City Metropolitan area, including Brooklyn and Staten Island and the northern New Jersey areas;

- it forms a central hub expanding to other metro areas, such as Philadelphia - and Scranton / Wilkes-Barre, and

-it offers 4 seasons of endless fun!

Along with its perfect location, the Pike County, Wayne County, and Monroe County areas of the Poconos truly symbolize and embody the meaning of “Dacha,” offering Four Seasons of Endless Fun for every age group and for every interest type.

The Delaware Water Gap The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area offers boating, water rafting, kayaking, fishing, swimming, biking and much more. Ski at Shawnee Mountain, Camelback, Alpine Mountain, Big Bear – to name just a few. We offer an abundance of golf clubs with courses designed by the best, such as the Jack Nicklaus designed Great Bear Golf Course, as well as hiking and backpacking trails and thousands of acres of preserved Federal and State lands and parks.

Antiquing is plentiful throughout our communities. We have wonderful inns to host you.

Hideout Beach Area
