This private, guarded, 3-season community offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise just 30 steps from the water’s edge. Camp #61 is move-in ready, giving you direct access to lake life while surrounding you with the serenity of nature and 298 acres of community-owned forest.
The cabin itself blends rustic charm with modern updates. Inside, the open living room is warm and inviting with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a brick-faced wood-burning fireplace with stove insert, creating the perfect gathering space after a day on the lake. The oversized eat-in kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, pantry storage, and a chef-grade gas oven, making it ideal for hosting family and friends. The first floor offers two bedrooms and an updated full bath, plus convenient laundry. Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms, another full bath, and a loft overlooking the main living area.
Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a large front porch and oversized deck where you can relax, entertain, and soak in the peaceful surroundings. A spacious shed provides plenty of storage for your outdoor gear, kayaks, and fishing equipment.
Life at Estling Lake is more than just owning a home—it’s joining a community.

The neighborhood offers a wide variety of activities, from clubhouse events and pancake breakfasts to clubs, socials, and recreational sports through the Hub Lakes network. At the beach, enjoy lifeguards, swimming, fishing, boating, and even a diving board for summer fun.
Despite its secluded feel, the location is incredibly convenient. You can walk to the NYC direct train station, with just 33 miles to Penn Station, and the lively downtown of Denville, with its shops, restaurants, pubs, and brewery. Major highways are also nearby, making this hidden gem both private and accessible.
