About this property
Rustic mid-century modern sprawling ranch, built in 1951. Designed with entertaining in mind, whether in the very large dining room with cathedral ceiling, the generously sized living room with wood burning stove, or the private screened in porch - your friends and family can make themselves right at home.The primary bedroom includes a tucked away stackable washer/dryer, ensuite bathroom and access to the back deck. The three other bedrooms are spaced apart with privacy in mind. Another full bath and 1/2 bath round out the single floor living. A full, dry basement boasts the newly installed furnace and allows for plenty of storage. The 3-acre lot is mostly cleared and ready for gardens, a pool or whatever your heart desires. The small pond is also a great place to find peace and serenity. Minutes to numerous trails, ponds, and protected NY State forests. Less than a 1/2 hour to Catamount and Jimmy Peak for skiing. Close to the Berkshires, Chatham, Hudson and I-90.

Questions to ask before you buy
Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
- Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
- What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
- How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
- What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
- What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
- How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
- How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
- What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
