This approximately 2,100-square-foot ranch is sited on ~10 acres within The Birches HOA. The home offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and a dining room that opens to the living room. Both a wood-burning fireplace and a wood stove provide warmth and character. The land is a standout feature, with established fruit-bearing trees and a fenced vegetable garden. An association shortcut adjacent to the property provides convenient access to the community's waterfront without going on a main road. This private lake community offers a dedicated waterfront area for residents, with a shared waterfront space. The community dock has a short waiting list, and there is lakeside kayak storage available. Copake Lake spans approximately 425 acres and is a full motorboat lake. The area is also home to Copake Country Club, a public 18-hole golf course, and The Greens Restaurant. Copake Lake Boat & Ski offers boat rentals and casual lakeside dining at the Mosquito Snack Shack, featuring burgers, fries, ice cream, and beer and wine. There is local music on the weekends. Columbia County provides year-round recreational and cultural opportunities, all this located approximately two hours from New York City and two-and-a-half hours from Boston.
