Stillwater, Sussex County
What we see in Stillwater
Stillwater Township lies in the Kittatinny Valley of western Sussex County below Kittatinny Mountain, bordering Fredon, Hampton, Walpack, and Frelinghuysen and Hardwick in Warren County. No interstate, U.S., or state highway crosses it; County Route 521 is the main road. The township holds Swartswood State Park, New Jersey's first state park, along with lake communities at Swartswood Lake, Paulins Kill Lake, Fairview Lake, and part of Crandon Lakes.
Selling a house in Stillwater: what's different here
Summer cottages turned year-round
Swartswood Lake became a resort in the early 1900s, and Paulins Kill Lake was created by damming the Paulins Kill in the 1920s. Summer cottages and cabins around these lakes have grown into year-round homes. Converted cottages can have small footprints, older additions, and systems that inspectors question. We buy them as they are.
Stone houses and mills
Stillwater village centers on the First Presbyterian Church with a historic core of stone houses and mills, and the township has 18th-century stone houses such as Whitehall, built in 1785, and the Wintermute houses. Very old homes can be costly to insure and repair. We buy historic properties without asking you to fix anything.
Farm and dairy country
Agriculture and dairy farming remain central to Stillwater's character, and the whole township drains to the Paulins Kill. Farmhouses and acreage are difficult for many buyers to finance, and appraisers may struggle to find similar sales. We buy rural Stillwater property for cash, including land with barns and outbuildings.

Questions from Stillwater sellers
Stillwater FAQ
Can you buy a converted summer cottage at Swartswood or Paulins Kill Lake?
Yes. We buy lake cottages and cabins that became year-round homes, in their current condition, for cash.
Do you buy in Middleville or Stillwater village?
Yes. We buy houses in Middleville, Swartswood, Stillwater village, and the rest of the township.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a Stillwater house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Sussex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
