1024 Lakeview Rd Copake, NY 12516

This exceptional turnkey, waterfront home in the private lake community of Taconic Shores is new to the market after 50 years of continuous ownership and enjoyment. Sited on one of the nicest waterfront lots in the community, the original 1959 cottage has been creatively expanded and updated over the years - while tastefully maintaining and enhancing its original charm. The owners have meticulously maintained the property since 1975. The main level features an open kitchen-dining room-living room with hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace and slider to the deck overlooking the front lawn and waterfront. A slate entry, generously sized en-suite bedroom with lake view, second bedroom, two full baths and a den/office/laundry complete this level. The second floor is dedicated entirely to an oversized bedroom with deck overlooking the lake and en-suite bath. To complete the masterpiece, there is an oversized garage for your car and gear. The front lawn is gently sloping toward the water's edge and your large platform dock. Eastern views over the tranquil waters inspire daily. This home would be special anywhere, but sited waterfront on Robinson Pond makes this opportunity truly one-of-a-kind! 100-acre Robinson Pond is a diverse eco-system that has recently seen osprey and bald eagles take up residence. The Roe Jan Kill runs through it and a 10 hp motorboat limit creates a slower pace where the tranquility of a blissful eco-system can always be found. Centrally located between Hudson NY and Great Barrington MA, there are year-round activities for everyone: Catamount and Butternut ski areas, Copake Lake Country Club, Hudson Valley Rail Trail, Bash Bish Falls, farmers markets, fine dining, theater and music - just to name a few! Experience for yourself what lakeside living in Columbia County is all about.
