Escape to this idyllic lake front home offering breathtaking lake views and magnificent sunsets. Surrounded by an acre of rustic nature with 200 ft. of lake front and private dock, it offers unusual privacy, beauty, and serenity. The charming house offers a “great room” with huge original stone fireplace and 10 ft ceilings, and a 40 ft long glassed-in porch overlooking the lake, perfect for summer and winter quiet enjoyment as well as varied entertaining. It is well suited for artists, writers, musicians or outdoor enthusiasts and uninterrupted remote work. The lake offers swimming, boating (no motors), fishing or just hanging out on the water, and ice skating in winter. It also offers direct access to a variety of wildlife (eagles and blue heron fly over the lake in front of the house). There are numerous private lake hiking trails and public hiking trails in Norvin Green State Park (adjoins lake property) which are easily accessed by foot from the house, and the NYNJ Trail Conference offers trail networks within easy drives. The lake community is open and inclusive to those interested but also respectful of those who prefer their own company. This idyllic property offers a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility and is ideal for Weekend and Summer Getaways or Year-Round Living, with Rt. 287 only 1.5 miles away and Manhattan only 25 miles away.
