Description

Among the most desirable elements of any country house is a water feature, after all who doesn’t love a dip in a lake or a pool? Well, The Nest, a newly built 2 bed, 1.5 bath home, is not only a lake front home with 210 feet of Kenoza lake frontage, but also features an in-ground pool for those who prefer the comforts of saline water. Built over the course of 2023 and 2024, The Nest offers a truly turnkey and unique package of an easy living modern build, stacked with two extraordinary water features, to make this offering one-of-a-kind. The house is perched on the hillside with a birds-eye view of Kenoza Lake below it. The land has been extensively cleared to maximize the views and the light. You enter the house from the wrap around deck, through a pair of full-light french doors and it’s as if you’ve remained outside. Light pours in through the custom Andersen windows from every angle. This is a room to spend your day in - letting the light move throughout the space, and watching the ever changing scene on the lake itself. A modern kitchen with ample storage and a pantry match the light and airy feel of the home. I could happily spend many hours cooking for friends after a long day of paddling and swimming in the lake. A generously sized powder room sits at the back of the space. Down a custom spiral staircase you’ll access the lower level with the two bedrooms and full bathroom. The bedrooms mirror each other with sizable closets, big windows, and a door directly out on to the pool deck. An oversized full bathroom with soaking tub and rain shower is shared between the two bedrooms. Outside you’ll find the brand-new in-ground pool. Enjoy lounging poolside on the beautiful bluestone deck, while your friends and family head down the hill to take out the kayaks on the lake. An unfinished pool cabana houses the equipment, and is pre-plumbed to add a bathroom and/or kitchenette - a lot of flexibility in a compact space. A significant lawn rolls down the hill from the home to your private lakefront. You can imagine a variety of opportunities to explore here - a garden, a tennis court, a boathouse, or if you’re feeling truly ambitious - a larger primary home and keep The Nest as a poolhouse. A new teak-topped dock stretches out in to Kenoza Lake. A perfect place to tie off your toys and to do your cannonballs. Kenoza Lake is an 88 acre, electric motor only lake - always quiet and serene. The water is clean and calm, a perfect place to spend lazy summer days floating around. Kenoza Lake itself is set conveniently in the heart of western Sullivan County with access to so many of the towns and destinations that people love. You’re barely 5 minutes from Jeffersonville, 12 to Callicoon, 20 to Narrowsburg, and under 25 from Livingston Manor. You can’t place yourself much better than here - and that’s not even to mention that you could simply walk across the road and enjoy Kenoza Hall, a Foster Supply hotel with year round bar, restaurant, and spa. Come take a look at The Nest and you’ll see an unrivaled opportunity for the best of the Catskills lifestyle. Appliances: Electric Water Heater
