A simple approach would be dumping the representation of scheme
objects (e.g., lists) to a file:
csi> (define my-list '((1 2 3) (4 5 6) ("a" "b" "c")))
csi> (with-output-to-file "my-file" (lambda () (pp my-list)))
csi> (with-input-from-file "my-file" read)
((1 2 3) (4 5 6) ("a" "b" "c"))
There is also the s11n egg:

PS: I don't know what Java's properties files are, I considered the
second paragraph from your message.
Best wishes,
