Rustic cabin with private dock located on a small private lake. Enjoy peace and tranquility from your deck while you take in the best nature has to offer in this 2 bedroom cabin with direct waterfront access. This property is a private co-op owning 110 acres in Putnam County with a large lake surrounded by 28 cabins concealed from the lake by trees and plantings. Shareholders hold leases to their cabins. The lake is motor-free and offers swimming, fishing and (non-motor) boating. The cabin is seasonal since the community water is turned off from approximately the middle of October until the middle of April thus making it the perfect three-season get away. The community is careful to preserve the quiet and historic nature of this special place. The cabins were built starting in the 1920’s and the ability to make changes to their exterior, size, structure and concealment is greatly restricted in order to preserve their rustic character. Likewise, the community considers itself the steward of the lake and the surrounding wooded landscape. Financing is not permitted. Final sale is dependent upon co-op Board approval of prospective buyers. Please note there is no toilet in the cabin, only an outhouse.

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.
