I took this picture just after I got done walking our Big Dog Bumbles this morning. Bumbles loves jumping through and eating the snow while I enjoy the Absolute Peace and Quiet. The one good thing about everyones fear of snow here in the Pocono Mountains is that more and more drivers stay off the road. Rest assured if you go for a walk in the community where I live, Arrowhead Lakes, on a snowy morning, you will experience absolute peace and quiet. It is the most amazingly mind clearing activity. I even kept my snow blower in the garage this year so I can shovel by hand, all the while enjoying the stillness in this wonderful Pocono Lake Community.

It reminds me why we see so many winter renters just looking for that Zen like experience! Winter in the Poconos, complete with hefty amounts of the white fluffy stuff, our wonderful Pocono Rental Homes with blazing and roaring fireplaces inside offers the Endless Opportunities of Mind Clearing Peace and Absolute Stillness with Nature outside. Join the thousands every year who flock to the Poconos to Get Their Zen On! Book Your Zen Like Experience HERE!

PA Gameland Bordering Home in Amenity Filled Pocono Community

The Pocono Mountains in the Winter Time stimulates all of the senses. Walk outside and feel the brisk, cold air subtly take your breath away. Smell the wood burning from everyones fireplaces and wood stoves. Watch the smoke pumping out of the chimneys into the cold air while snow gently falls from the sky. What do you hear in the winter time? It depends on where you are. If you are real close to the Ski Slopes then you will hear all kinds of activities and excitement going on all the time. However if you pick the right spot, like backed up to 1200 Acres of PA Gamelands at the end of a cul de sac that has only 2 houses TOTAL on the street. I will tell you what you hear when you are situated on that kind of setting. Stillness!! Ever heard the statement "Stillness Speaks"? Well it does. It says "Shhhhh, Clear your Head and Just Enjoy all of the Beautiful Nature That Surrounds You"!

If I Told You that you Could Purchase a Home with this kind of setting, how much would you think it would cost you? How much would you think is a fair price for this Piece of Pocono Mountain Solitude? 3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms, Just under 1500 sq ft on close to a half an acre in a Lake Community in the Pocono Mountains with taxes less than $2000 per year. If I told you that it would cost you less than $135,000 would you believe me? Guess what, you can believe me and if you would like to schedule a Personal Tour of this home you can feel free to Call Me or Email Me!

Sherman Hosts Downtown Pocono Raceway Festival

Stroudsburg, PA (6/1/2009) - This Saturday the Sherman Theater will celebrate NASCAR's rich history in the Poconos with its inaugural Pocono Raceway Festival event hosted on Main Street in Stroudsburg. Running from noon to 8 p.m. the free festival features an assortment of NASCAR vehicles, live entertainment, games and race simulators, vendors, sidewalk sales, and for the first time ever - a free street concert by the Marshall Tucker Band. The theater will host a dedication ceremony on the festival's main stage in front of the Sherman Theater at 1:30 p.m. The dedication welcomes such notable guests as NASCAR president Mike Helton, Pocono Raceway founder Dr. Joseph Mattioli and current raceway president Brandon Igdalsky along with other invited guests of NASCAR. Immediately following the ceremony, the Sherman Theater will recreate history as it stages a reshoot of one of Stroudsburg's most popular historic photos which was taken directly in front of the Sherman Theater sometime in the late 1940s. ledville@noln.com
"With our new marquee in place, the festival seemed like the ideal time to reshoot the photo," said Sherman Theater President and CEO Richard W. Berkowitz. "This year is the Sherman's 80th anniversary and we wanted to document the theater's return to prominence in our community." The Pocono Raceway Festival will host more than a dozen racecars including NASCAR's #13, #19, #40, and #74 cars. "Whether or not you are a race fan, downtown Stroudsburg will be in bloom with over 100 vendors and retailers," said Berkowitz. "There will definitely be something for everyone as we roll out the red carpet to kick off the summer season." Along with the wide-variety of activities throughout Main Street, the festival features the talent of many regional musicians. Two stages will be active throughout the day and include performances by: North of the City, The Q & A Session, Randy Bigness & Friends, Long Time Comin', Blues Conspiracy, Riff Raff, TNT, Dealer in Wares, Blue Planet, Boots & Saddles, and of course - The Marshall Tucker Band. This event was made possible by Sherman Theater, Rotary Club of the Stroudsburgs, ESSA Bank and Trust, Pocono Medical Center, Pocono Mountain's Visitors Bureau, Schoch's Harley Davidson, and LT Verrastro Inc. For more information, call the Sherman Theater at 570-420-2808 or visit the Sherman Theater online at www.shermantheater.com.

Central Sewer Hookups Coming to a Screaming Halt in Arrowhead Lakes

In case anyone hasn't heard Arrowhead Lakes Community, after being instructed by the Department of Environmental Protection, has issued a halt on all central sewer hookups in the community until permitting from previous sewer hookups and the running of the main sewer lines have come into proper compliance.
Apparently all the ducks were not in order when this whole sewer project got started some 7 -8 years ago. This will not affect anyone who already has permitting in place to build but no future permits will be given to build with connection to central sewer until further notice. After speaking to interim general manager, Charlie Hozempa, he felt that given what is involved with the entire process it will probably a good year before anyone can start to hook up once again. As the community moves as quickly as possible to remedy this situation it cannot control the speed and cooperation of the engineers involved and of course the various governmental bodies of the different townships involved (Coolbaugh and Tobyhanna) not to mention any environmental agencies. These variables will no doubt take up the most time!
Who does this affect???? Well I will start by telling you who it doesn't affect. It doesn't affect anyone in the finished sewer sections which are sections 14 and up. For those lot owners in sections 1 - 13, I would take this time to invest in a 'wetland study' if you ever have any intention of either building on your lot or selling it. Just because there is sewer available or your lot falls within a finished sewer section, this doesn't mean that your lot is 'buildable'. A wetland study is required to build in this community and if you have any questions about this issue please feel free to use my contact information on the right and I will be happy to help you out. If a wetland study indicates the presence of wetlands on the property you might want to consider having the property surveyed and also the wetlands surveyed. This of course depends on how much wetlands your lot has. If it is a trivial amount that falls outside the setbacks of your building box then there is no reason to do anymore work but if there is substantial wetlands then it would be to your benefit to get both the parcel and the wetlands surveyed to see if you have a building box and if so, how much of a building box. This information can be the determining factor of whether or not you have a 'marketable' piece of property!
This will directly affect a few of my clients as they have waterfront property. One client was waiting for the sewer to come around the bend which should have happened this year and my other client had a land and home package set up but didn't get to the permitting stage yet so that will more than likely be shelved for another year as well.
If anyone has any questions on wetlands and whether or not your property has them please feel free to call me or email me and I will help steer you to the right people.
