Property Description
Perched on a wooded landing overlooking the sparkling waters of Pleasure Lake, this custom-built lakefront home delivers refined elegance, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and true private-lake ownership less than two hours from Manhattan. A sweeping gated driveway curves past a signature heart-shaped hedge to reveal the home. Inside, oversized windows and glass doors frame ever-changing lake views from every room. The sun-drenched chef's kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, premium stainless appliances (including an instant boiling water dispenser), a large island, and breakfast bar that opens to the barreled dining room and soaring living space with gas fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple sliders lead to a wraparound deck perfect for sunset watching, entertaining, and alfresco dining.The primary suite is a private retreat with lake-facing windows, direct deck access, and a spa-like bath with jetted tub and separate shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms each have private en-suite baths. Thoughtful amenities include a fully integrated stereo system, security and intercom, equipped gym, temperature-controlled wine cellar, radiant heat throughout, and a bright laundry room.Outside, enjoy your private grounds: lounge by the fire pit, rinse off in the heated outdoor shower after a swim, or stroll to your own dock and slip into the calm, protected waters. Pleasure Lake is a member-owned club founded in 1904 with a strict cap of 100 memberships, no short-term rentals, and motorboat restrictions that keep the lake quiet, clean, and peaceful. Roads are maintained year-round and the lake is patrolled daily. This four-season escape offers the rare chance to own one of the finest homes on Pleasure Lake, where every day feels like a permanent vacation.
