Set above a 10-acre lake fed by seven natural springs in the northern Catskills, The Lake House is a historic cedar-shingled farmhouse sited on 275 acres of rolling land. With bucolic views and century-old charm, the home features a swimming dock and twin piers along the shoreline. The interiors center around open living and dining areas, with a window-lined sunroom flowing onto a spacious deck that takes full advantage of the southern light and water views.

Entering through the front door, the main level opens into an airy living and dining room, framed by hardwood floors and paned windows. Through the dining area, the home’s quaint kitchen features deep blue custom tile counters and backsplash, a farmhouse sink, and vintage cabinetry.

The kitchen flows into a flexible adjoining room with bold cobalt tile floors, which can serve as a formal dining area or sitting room. Glass doors open directly onto the deck, offering seamless access to the outdoors and expansive lake views. Back inside, the home’s first level also features a small reading nook off the living space, providing a private escape from the rest of the first level.

Upstairs, a landing with a traditional country banister leads to two secondary bedrooms with uninterrupted views of the property. The primary suite anchors the end of the hall, complete with an ensuite bath that includes vintage dark wood cabinetry, a fully tiled stall shower, and brass fixtures that honor the home’s early 1900s roots.

Just beyond the house, a circa-1825 equestrian barn offers eight 12-by-12-foot stalls and a Southern yellow pine foaling stall. Tack and wash rooms are equipped with heat, hot water, and electricity. The barn opens onto 11 fenced acres of pasture, complete with a run-in shed, while wooded trails extend toward an open mountaintop that boasts panoramic Catskills views.
