If
you're looking for a change in lifestyle, living in or near
the Pine Barrens may be just what you need! Villages, towns
and cities in or near the Pine Barrens include Long Beach Island,
Waretown, Barnegat, Stafford/Manahawkin, Tuckerton, Little Egg
Harbor, Smithville, Port Republic, Egg Harbor City, Hammonton,
Williamstown, Medford, Browns Mills, Mount Holly, Chatsworth,
Tabernacle, Shamong, Whiting, Lakehurst, Mays Landing, Woodbine
and Pleasant Mills, just to name a few. Some are barely more
than a cross street, while others are bustling cities with hospitals,
malls and major housing developments. Yet others, such as Long
Beach Island, are beautiful oceanfront communities, yet just
a short drive from the Pinelands!
Email me personally at cathy@pineypower.com if you are interested in buying (or selling) a home in the Pinelands.
Sorry, but I do not participate in the sale of vacant land in
the Pinelands - unless you are interested in selling it to a
non-profit agency for preservation purposes.
Fortunately, The NJ Pinelands
Commission has a stringent management program in place to 
protect
the Pine Barrens. Within the Preservation and Forest areas,
little or no building is permitted. Many fringe areas are "rural
development" or "regional growth" areas where
limited building, still within Pinelands regulations, is permitted.
Take a look at the map
of the NJ Pinelands Management Areas to get a better
idea.
Homes
in the region vary greatly, from small condos and ranches on
75 x 100' lots to farms and estates on 25 or more acres. Of
course, with its proximity to the miles of waterfront and great
fishing in the Bays and the Atlantic Ocean, a great variety
of waterfront homes are also available. Great kayaking can be
had here, and for the adventurous, boating trips from the Atlantic
Ocean to deep within the Pine Barrens can be taken.
No
matter where you decide to live here in South Jersey, it will
be a close drive to rivers for canoeing and kayaking; sugar
sand roads for exploring; "lost towns"; great wineries;
and the beautiful white sand beaches of the Atlantic Ocean at
Long Beach Island, Atlantic City, Wildwood or Ocean City. If
you feel the need, both Philadelphia and New York City are about
an hour away. Of course, here in South Jersey, we live up to
its nickname of the "Garden State" with blueberries,
cranberries, eggplant, and the best Jersey Tomatoes and corn
ANYWHERE! Living here, you can enjoy a summertime of fresh seafood
-
perhaps crabs and clams caught in the bay, and Jersey corn,
all cooked on the grill - the best ever!
