A renovated, turnkey farmhouse, privately set on 21.76 acres. Though the house was built around 1875, the recent renovation makes it functionally a new house. There are porches on both the front and back of the house, and a large stone patio in-between that looks out over the grounds. The house is perfectly situated to overlook land that gently slopes down to a level expanse that has recently been opened up, graded and reseeded, to afford more distant views. Inside, a kitchen, dining area, half bath, and living room with a wood-burning stove make up the first floor. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two baths, one of which is part of a dreamy master suite. Passing from the master bedroom into the bath is a brief space with shelves to the left and right; a pleasing nook for books or display of favorite objects. Then the spacious white tiled bathroom beckons with its luxurious claw foot tub (with shower), and vintage pedestal sink. The second full bathroom combines white shiplap walls with white tile and vintage fixtures, along with a modern walk-in shower. Double doors in the hallway open to a well-lit closet with washer and dryer.

Property includes a wooden garage with sliding doors can accommodate two cars, although it could also be repurposed as an entertainment space. There are French doors leading to a small cleared area behind it, that looks out through the woods and over the spring-fed pond.

At the end of a winding woodland drive sits a secluded lakefront hideaway. This three-bedroom house sits on five beautiful acres. Tucked into the woods of Forestburgh, a blueberry lined footpath leads to your lakefront dock on Wilderness Lake. The owners have always felt magic here, and they wish for the next owners to feel it too.

Inside the 1240 sq. foot home, a great room opens through a wall of glass to a spacious deck, or cozy screened in porch. All are perfect spaces for relaxing and entertaining. If you love cooking, this modest but perfect kitchen was designed by a professional in the food industry and has been enjoyed by many of her chef friends. Besides the first floor living area,there is a full walk out basement with plenty of potential for finishing into your workshop, studio, music/theatre room, or maybe another bedroom and bath.
