Liberty Township at a glance
Liberty Township was formed from part of Hope Township in 1926. Mountain Lake, a 122-acre glacial lake, is the largest natural lake in Warren County, and the Mountain Lake Community Association helps care for its watershed. High Rock, south of the lake, is a popular hiking spot. U.S. Route 46 is the only major road. Liberty is in the Highlands region.

What buyers should check in Liberty Township

- Wells and septic. Plan for the required well test and septic inspection.
- Highlands rules. Check the parcel's designation for planned work.
- Property taxes. Look at the actual tax bill for the house, not an average, and compare Liberty Township's rate using the state's municipal tax data.
