The first thing you'll notice isn't the house, it's the property! Stretching across more than one-third of an acre, this is one of the most beautiful parcels in all of Lake Peekskill. Nearly 60 years of loving care have transformed it into a picture of timeless landscaping, with mature trees, lush greenery, and level, manicured grounds that invite you to slow down and stay awhile. It's easy to imagine summer barbecues that linger into the evening, morning coffee surrounded by birdsong, bike rides to the lake, peaceful walks through the neighborhood, and gathering outdoors with the people who matter most. This is the kind of property where memories are made. A charming flower-lined pathway leads you to two welcoming and separate entrances, one with a scenic front porch. Step inside and you're greeted by a graceful dining room that flows naturally into a spacious eat-in kitchen, creating a warm place for everything from holiday meals to quiet mornings with coffee. Just beyond is a sizable living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and connected to a sun-filled enclosed porch where walls of windows overlook the spectacular property through every season. The main level also offers a versatile den that has comfortably served as a guest room and third sleeping area for years, but would make an equally wonderful home office or study. A full bath completes the first floor. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms, each ready for a fresh vision. While the home could use cosmetic updating, the character, craftsmanship, and solid bones are already here. Downstairs, the possibilities continue. The expansive basement stretches nearly the full length of the home and already includes a half bath with the potential to become a second full bath, offering an incredible opportunity to create more than 2,000 square feet of finished living space. A charming root cellar connected to the garage provides unique storage for wine, preserves, or seasonal items, while thoughtful built-ins and tucked-away storage spaces throughout the home add charm and practicality. Outside is where this property truly stands apart. Whether you're gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, this yard offers a setting that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. With a garage and abundant parking, there's room to host, relax, and enjoy every season.

Some houses are measured in square footage. Others are measured in moments. Coffee before a stroll to the lake. racing barefoot to the beach. Long afternoons drifting across quiet water. A book that somehow takes all day because the porch keeps asking you to stay. That is life at Roaring Brook Lake. Just 59 miles from New York City and minutes from the Taconic State Parkway, this is the kind of place people spend years searching for. Here, vacation isn't something you plan. It's simply how life feels. The lake itself is extraordinary. Waterfront homes routinely command seven-figure prices, yet this property sits only about 200 steps from Children's Beach, offering nearly the same lifestyle for a fraction of the cost. Launch a canoe, kayak, paddleboat or electric motorboat, fish from the dock, swim to the floating platform, relax on the sandy beach, or enjoy the playground. There are no mandatory HOA fees, just a peaceful lakeside setting that feels like a hidden escape. Before you reach the front door, you understand why homes here rarely change hands. A graceful circular driveway winds through mature trees and curated gardens lovingly shaped over decades. Color follows the seasons. Stone patios invite mornings, summer dinners, barbecues, or quiet moments beneath the trees. A gentle creek runs along the front of the property, adding a rare touch of charm. And then comes the porch. Wrapped in magnificent stone, it feels less like an entrance and more like another living room. Breakfast lingers. Afternoon naps come easily. Conversations stretch past sunset. On rainy days it becomes the best seat in the house. It is one of those rare spaces that changes how life feels. Inside, authentic mid-century character has been beautifully preserved. Rich wood floors, walls, built-ins, and craftsmanship bring warmth and soul. Every room has its own personality, every window frames a peaceful view. The kitchen features a charming built-in breakfast nook. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace where quiet evenings practically write themselves. Glass doors open to a covered patio, blending indoor and outdoor living. A dining room sits nearby for gatherings large and small. The first floor offers a spacious primary bedroom and full bath. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms with built-in closets, window seats, and timeless detail. A half bath offers future potential for expansion. The lower level includes a walk-out basement with flexible space for a home office, studio, or gym, plus storage, utilities, and access to an oversized two-car garage. Maybe it's the gardens, the porch you'll never want to leave, or the lake just down the road. Whatever it is, life slows the moment you turn into the driveway. Homes like this are rare. This summer, make it yours.

Just an hour north of Manhattan, step into one of the Lower Hudson Valley's most extraordinary private sanctuaries at 180 Dean Road. This enduring 70-acre estate comprising meadows, wetlands, and mountains is cradled by 1,000 acres of protected New York State forest and nestled behind a private gate — a tranquil and ensconced oasis from the bustle of city life. This is not merely a property. It is a world apart. The land itself evidences this property’s storied past. Sweeping lawns give way to English cutting and vegetable gardens, and miles of meandering stone walls trace the contours of the land, undying remnants of a bygone era. More than two miles of 80-year-old heritage-groomed hiking trails weave through moss-lined wilderness, crossing three spring-fed creeks before arriving at the crown jewel: a large private lake bathed in southern light from sunrise to dusk. Every season here is an invitation, whether it be the late summer evenings spent fireside, long hikes through the changing colors of autumn, skating beneath the open winter skies, or the welcome return of greenery in the spring - the property is constantly captivating. At the heart of the compound, the cedar-and-stone lodge is a cozy marriage of heritage and refinement. Born from an original 1950s-era cabin, the expanded residence unfolds around a beamed great room anchored by its original wood-burning stone fireplace. This house is the type of space that makes you exhale the moment you enter - a true home. Throughout, bluestone and hardwood floors speak quietly to the region, grounding every room in lasting, unpretentious beauty. The primary suite is a true retreat: a gas fireplace grounds the generous seating area while panoramic lake and stream views unfold beyond the expansive windows. The spa-caliber bath delivers twin vanities, a soaking tub, dual rain-head glass shower, radiant-heated bluestone floors, and a private double dressing room and closets. The lower level boasts a guest bedroom, its own fireplace, a full bath, and a private stone patio edged by the sound of running water. A handsome upper-level office with walls of windows overlooking the property completes the main residence, a work-from-anywhere space that never lets you forget where you are. From the chef's kitchen, French doors open to an expansive deck with a screened gazebo and a stone fire pit — seamless indoor-outdoor living at its finest. An attached garage, dedicated dog spa, and whole-house generator round out a property that is as thoughtfully engineered as it is beautiful. Near the main residence, the renovated one-bedroom caretaker's cottage has been thoughtfully refreshed, including an updated kitchen and bath, hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, designer fixtures, fresh tile, and a modernized HVAC system. The cottage can continue to serve as lodging for a live-in caretaker or as a turnkey retreat for visiting family, a private creative escape, or the foundation for a multigenerational compound. Perched near the peak of the property, the newly renovated 4,100-square-foot conditioned barn is a study in considered reinvention. Recovered old-growth pine and insulated-glass overhead garage doors define the ground-floor studio and workshop; climb to the upper level, and two dozen newly installed skylights transform the gym, full kitchen, and private guest suite into sun-drenched spaces that feel anything but rustic — a brand-new HVAC system ensures year-round comfort throughout. For those with vision, the foundation for the next chapter is already in place. County-approved plans for an additional four-bedroom septic system await, clearing a major hurdle for a residence above the lake - an opportunity to make your own mark on this exquisite preserve.

OldWalls is one of the area’s finest historic properties, originally envisioned by the legendary American sculptor Chester Beach and his artist wife Eleanor. Completed in 1918, the estate was constructed of massive hand-laid native stone with walls over two feet thick, crowned by a slate roof — a testament to old-world craftsmanship rarely seen today. The compound includes nine bedrooms across multiple stone buildings, designed in the Arts & Crafts style and enriched with Beach’s original artistry: hand-hewn chestnut beams, whimsical friezes, artisan plaster walls, stained glass, antique doors, and built-in sculptures created by Chester Beach himself. Highlights include a soaring Great Room with fireplace, a spacious Living Room with 112 hand-painted ceiling tiles, and a chef’s kitchen. Stone terraces open to breathtaking western vistas and sunsets. The grounds are a living landscape of English gardens, wisteria-draped arbors, fruit trees, roses, specimen plantings, and a majestic European beech. A potential pool site and grass tennis court (restorable or repurposable) expand the lifestyle options. Additional structures include the original Stone Artist Studio (c.1914), now a guest cottage; “The Camp,” a 1940s renovated cottage with Great Room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and loft; and a five-stall equestrian barn with heated tack room, laundry, hayloft, and groom’s quarters, complemented by fenced pastures, paddocks, and a riding arena. Set on ten+ acres across two parcels, OldWalls is a rare historic estate — a blend of history, artistry, and enduring elegance.
