Idyllic lake cottage in beautiful Putnam Valley, just an hour from Manhattan but worlds away! This updated, open floor plan is the perfect year-round retreat, set on 1/3-acre of dramatic glacial boulders and serene woods, backed by a large forested parcel. Generous deck overlooks winding roads and seasonal lake views. Lovingly updated with a new roof, appliances, bathroom. Mobile generator hookup. This home comes with a much sought-after membership in the private Chippewa Boat Club, just a short walk down the road. Club membership allows for private lakefront access and a private boat slip (including motor boats) to Lake Oscawana! The lake is a beautiful 386-acre naturally formed, stream-fed recreation lake.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
