54 Acres $524,777

Approximately 700 feet of highway Route 435 (N Main St) frontage as well as AM Hughes Blvd/Eagle Lake Rd frontage. Gambling casinos in area. "Wall Street West" planned nearby. Part of the acreage was a blueberry farm so you can pick to your hearts content. There’s lots of wildlife for the hunter. Acreage has lake with great fishing. Pristine nature preserve. Forest timber has never been harvested. Was a sand and gravel pit long ago and still has vast mineral resources. Property is located near Eagle Lake Development, Lake Henry, Scranton and Daleville. Close enough to New York City for commuting. Perfect weekends escape from the city or for development.

Close enough to NYC for commuting?!?. RIGHT.
Also, how much are they asking?

Thanks for listing it! Are you the owner?

3   ELC   2012 Jul 17, 4:08am  

Yes I am.

It's done by many.

What else could I do on this forum to provide value to sellers like yourself?

I'm hoping for something beyond the usual one-way ad, where readers merely read by can't reply. It would be great to make listings into a discussion with other sellers, readers, landlords, and tenants.

Premium members can moderate comments on their own listings, so that's one feature.

Mount Pocono bus station in the freezing cold at 5:15 a.m. Monday morning. Certainly, it’s not unusual for families to flee the city for the promise of, as one woman put it, “a country lifestyle,” but to achieve a standard of living with safer neighborhoods and better schools, some commuters wake up around 3 a.m. (for those catching one of the even earlier buses) to catch a two-hour bus, to work eight hours and then get back on the bus for a two- to three-hour return trip — in traffic.

Commute Time and Cost
120 minutes from Mount Pocono to the Port Authority.
One way: $30
20 trips: $247.00

You have to look at what your income and expenses in the city would be versus the country but I agree, life's too short.

The ability to post photos, or at least thumbnails that would open to larger pictures. IMO there's nothing worse than a listing without lots of good photos. Check out this one I found on the South Florida MLS.

It's already possible but not obvious enough. You can click "Include image" when you compose or edit a listing and upload an image. Or if you have a URL to an image, just paste in the URL and the image will automatically get shown.

I did but I think I forgot to click Upload Image before I submitted the comment. But it only allow one image right? I guess I can submit multiple images with new replies to comments.

It should allow as many images as you want. Let me know if not.
