Copake Lake, only two hours from NYC in the scenic foothills of the Taconic Mountains in Columbia County, is the ideal place for your summer home. From the wrap around porch of this charming 1890s farmhouse, on 5.2 acres, you'll enjoy stunning views of the lake and the Catskill mountain range. This unique home has one of the largest private waterfronts on the lake- 420 feet, with dock and a rare original boat house, complete with kayaks and floats. Pristine Copake lake is perfect for boating, swimming, paddle boarding and water skiing. The original character of this cottage is maintained in the handsome stone fireplace, bead board ceilings and patterned oak floors. The first floor includes the renovated kitchen, open dining room, large living room with fireplace and a den, which can double as a bedroom with en-suite bath. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, one full bath, and a loft area which can be used as an office or 4th sleeping nook- a cozy space for overflow guests. Sunshine streams through every window. Central air, outdoor shower, a large barn/garage, flagstone patio, outdoor barbeque and 5 acres of lawn and mature woods. Walk to Copake Country Club with public golf, lovely all- season restaurant and bar, and Copake Lake Marina with beer garden, snack bar and ice cream stand. Copake Lake is a quick drive to Hudson NY or Great Barrington, Massachusetts, minutes. 40 minutes to Tanglewood, and 10 minutes to Catamount Ski Area and Adventure Park. All this, only 2 hours from NYC and 2 hours from Boston. Additional contiguous property available.
