There are lake houses… and then there are properties so rare, so breathtakingly complete, they feel as though they belong in another world entirely. Welcome to the true epitome of luxury waterfront living. Set on over an acre with nearly 300 feet of pristine lake frontage, this extraordinary stone ranch offers a lifestyle unlike any other. Tucked along the sparkling shores of Roaring Brook Lake, one of the Hudson Valley’s hottest hidden luxury enclaves just 58 miles from NYC, this waterfront masterpiece feels like a secluded European island escape. A gentle approach with parking for 8+ vehicles leads to a stunning stone-covered entryway where the lake immediately captivates you. Every step toward the home feels like paradise. The grounds are magical. Gracious stone pathways and vineyard-inspired walkways wind throughout the property, lined with custom tilework, peaceful hammock alcoves, scenic lounging decks, and mesmerizing water views. Outdoor living here is an art form. The fully equipped exterior cooking station features a premium DSC gas BBQ, refrigerator, prep station, and bar seating, all perfectly positioned for unforgettable evenings by the water. Nearby, a gorgeous stone gas firepit invites cocktails beneath the stars while alfresco dining becomes part of daily life. The waterfront itself is beyond dreamy. A substantial TimberTech dock with ladder access stretches into the lake, accompanied by a private boat launch and dedicated storage racks for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. With nearly 300 feet of accessible shoreline directly at your fingertips, the connection to the water is something rarely found in the Hudson Valley luxury market. One of the enchanting stone walkways leads to a detached guest studio that feels lifted from a boutique resort, complete with its own exquisite full bath, sleeping loft, and cozy lakefront living room. Perfect for guests, artists, musicians or peaceful office space. Serenity naturally flows towards the heart of the property...step inside the main residence, where every inch reflects impeccable craftsmanship and timeless luxury. Cathedral wood-beamed ceilings soar overhead while stunningly restored casement windows frame cinematic lake views from nearly every room. Rich redwood paneling adds warmth throughout, while the magnificent floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace anchors the living room perfectly. The kitchen is extraordinary, designed for both entertaining and everyday indulgence. Luxurious soapstone countertops, an oversized center island, custom wood cabinetry, Wolf oven, Miele dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer create a space as functional as it is refined. The open layout connects kitchen, dining, and living spaces with the lake as the centerpiece, equally suited to elegant gatherings or quiet mornings framed by majestic water views. Just off the main living area, a waterfront den offers incredible versatility as an office, media room, playroom, or possible fourth bedroom. A tastefully modernized hall bath and laundry room lead into the private bedroom wing. The plush primary suite offers a true retreat with heated bathroom floors and a spa-like bath. Two additional spacious bedrooms complete the home, each providing a calm, comfortable feel. Radiant heated stone flooring, reverse osmosis drinking water system, water softener and UV filtration systems, Ring cameras and floodlights, and a whole-house Generac generator add even more repose and peace of mind. This is not simply a waterfront property. It is an experience. Over an acre of curated beauty, nearly 300 feet of shoreline, 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, nearly 2,000 square feet of pure bliss, and a setting that feels impossible to replicate. A place where every day feels like vacation, and one of the rarest luxury waterfront offerings the Hudson Valley has ever seen.
