Contact seller for specific directions.     Majestic Lakefront home on 5+ secluded acres. Country charm greets you from the moment you enter the private gates and follow the winding driveway. You will pass wooden sculptures of forest dwellers leading to an exquisite two-story contemporary home. Beautifully manicured grounds, tall trees, open lawn and natural rock formations to admire or climb. You are now surrounded by breathtaking beauty with only the sound of the birds, the view of the lake – a private country sanctuary - you are home! Features include a deck that spans the full width of the house and leads to a fabulous lawn surrounded by tall trees. Entering the house, you are still connected to the outside and only separated by a wall of glass doors and windows everywhere. Stepping over the threshold, you know you have come home. The great room ceiling spans up to the second floor landing where two large bedrooms and a full bath offer space for guests and family. The great room sports hardwood floors, dining room, eat-at counter with bar stools, a raised hearth with a Vermont Castings Wood-burning stove; beautiful to look at but also efficient for heating and even cooking a slow stew while you are enjoying a boat ride or cross-country skiing on the lake in winter. The master suite is located to one side of the great room, while a tastefully designed den extends to the opposite side. You will also find a small deck off the dining room at the rear of the house where the barbeque is permanently attached to propane gas. The full finished basement with Sauna is open for anything. Have a large gathering of friends, create additional rooms for guests, an office, a Rec. Room, et. There is also another room ideally suited as a workshop to delight any hobbyist. Are you ready to play at the Lake? You have entered a wildlife preserve where nature abounds. Venture down a path created from materials indigenous to this land to the waterfront. Rest yourself at intervals on sturdy benches cut from fallen timber and listen to the rustling of the trees. Swinging Bridge Reservoir is a 9 mile motorboat lake reaching depths of up to 110 feet. The water flows freely and you will not find vegetation or algae when you go for a refreshing swim. The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset. You feel removed from all the hustle and bustle of the ‘real’ world, and yet, you are only minutes from Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, Forestburgh Playhouse, Racetrack and Racino in Monticello, and best of all, less than 2 hours from NYC. Compare to Chapin at half the taxes, all the charm!
