A Lakefront Setting That Defines the Property

The strength of 31 Island Trail begins with its location.

Lake Mohawk is a private lake community in Sparta with boating, beaches, a historic clubhouse, boardwalk-style village setting, restaurants, docks, and seasonal lake activity. Within that setting, Manitou Island offers a distinctive residential environment surrounded by water, lake views, and a more private island-like atmosphere.

For many buyers, that setting is the point. The lifestyle is not simply about the house. It is about waking up near the water, entertaining outdoors, accessing the lake, and living in a community built around recreation.

The kitchen includes premium appliances, a prep kitchen, butler’s pantry, extensive storage, and strong connection to the surrounding outdoor living spaces.

The property includes:

• Saltwater pool

• Swim-up bar
• Multiple outdoor kitchens
• Outdoor televisions

• Pizza oven

• Integrated outdoor audio

The backyard experience feels intentionally designed around entertaining, relaxation, and waterfront living.

The property includes a new concrete seawall, boathouse, pontoon lift, and included pontoon boat, allowing owners to fully experience the Lake Mohawk lifestyle directly from the property.

The setting creates a stronger connection between the home and the water, making the outdoor experience feel integrated rather than separate.

The renovation focused not only on appearance, but also on long-term functionality and comfort.

The kitchen is supported by a prep kitchen, butler’s pantry, premium appliances, and extensive storage. The primary suite includes a tray ceiling, gas fireplace, steel-supported balcony, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-level bathroom.

The Lake Mohawk Lifestyle

Lake Mohawk is one of New Jersey’s most recognizable private lake communities, known for boating, beaches, docks, boardwalk-style village areas, seasonal recreation, and the historic Lake Mohawk Country Club.

Manitou Island offers a more private waterfront setting within that larger community environment.

For many buyers, the lifestyle is the primary attraction. The experience is centered around the water, outdoor living, boating access, and the feeling of retreat from everyday suburban living.
