About This Home
Vacation at home and live your best life in this meticulously maintained, energy efficient waterfront cottage. Tucked away on a rustic private road on the scenic shores of Lake Zoar, this light filled home offers a rare opportunity to embrace a peaceful lakeside lifestyle as either a year round residence, or an enchanting weekend getaway. Imagine feeling a million miles away from the fast pace of the world while remaining just minutes away from local shopping, dining, and highway access - all while being less than 90 minutes away from Manhattan. Stepping inside, the open concept main level offers seamless indoor/outdoor living and exceptional craftsmanship with carefully curated features throughout the entire house. The home features designer inspired lighting throughout that uses only 10% of traditional energy consumption. In the cozy living room, fully wired for surround sound, enjoy energy independence with a high efficiency wood stove insert in your fully operational fireplace. French doors open to a covered deck for year round enjoyment of your one of a kind lake views. Just off the living area, the chef's kitchen is equipped with a custom gas range, dishwasher, commercial grade refrigerator, and a massive granite island looking out over the water, supplied by mountain fed well water, freeing you from reliance on public systems and unwanted chemical treatment.
