Ozaukee & Washington County Real Estate: Wisconsin: Belgium

I don't ever remember walking along the beach or strolling around the quarry at Harrington Beach State Park in the middle of the winter. But this winter is different.

So far this year, we've had minimal snow and unusually warm temps. Today we made it into the 50s. Add bluer than blue skies, a breeze out of the west, and the golden sun, and you have the makings of the perfect day to play hooky from work.

So that's what I did -- at least for part of the day. I couldn't resist.

If you haven't been to Harrington you should take some time to visit. Located in Belgium, just 25 minutes or so north of Milwaukee, this state park offers year-round activities including camping, fishing, cross country skiing, and hiking.

This is the place we'd go to as kids for some summer fun, whether we biked there from home or drove down with the entire family piled into our old green Dodge on a  Sunday afternoon.

No matter the season, there is awe everywhere you look. It's the perfect place to go when you want to play hooky for the day.

Location is the key word! This fully improved 2.5 acre parcel of land is situated between I-43 and County Highway LL in Belgium. Electric, gas, telephone, and cable, are available, and there is approved access from both Lakeview Drive and LL. This parcel is also located near gas stations, restaurants, a coffee shop, a day care center, hotel, and doctor's office. The seller is including approved architectural and engineering plans for a shopping plaza. This is a great investment for the right person with the right ideas! List price is $250,000.

You can email, call or text me for more information.

Looking for a place where you can find just about anything at a "steal of a deal?"

Then be sure to stop in Belgium this Saturday, May 8, 8:00am-4:00pm for the annual community rummage sale.

A map of all participating households is available throughout town, and food and refreshments will be available at Community Park, located on Main Street Proceeds benefit various local community projects.

Belgium is located about 20 minutes north of Milwaukee right off of I-43 (exit 107).

Renee passed away early this morning, Saturday, April 18, 2009. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
