About This Home

161 N Portaferry Lake Drive

Welcome to Cathedral Rock, a truly unique lakeside retreat steeped in history and set on 8.2 acres with 330 feet of frontage on Portaferry Lake. Once the site of a Boy Scout camp from 1947 to 2006, this remarkable property blends rich heritage with modern luxury. Its namesake, Cathedral Rock is a towering boulder that rises near the house where scouts once gathered for spiritual services and outdoor climbing adventures. The main residence, constructed in 2015, is a custom designed contemporary home offering a blend of modern amenities and rich architectural character. This thoughtfully crafted two- bedroom, three full and one half bath home features granite countertops, a stainless-steel kitchen sink, two antique stained-glass windows, an antique transom window from an Argentinian Villa, a vaulted living room ceiling, and a historic fireplace mantel from the Waldorf Astoria. The spacious primary suite offers an en-suite bath, a cozy sitting area, and large picture windows with serene views of the lake. Also upstairs, a bridge offers elevated access to Cathedral Rock, enhancing the home’s seamless connection with its natural landscape. The fully finished walkout basement, features a professionally outfitted home gym, a full bath complete with a built-in sauna and steam room, a media room and access to an outdoor patio-perfect for barbecues and entertaining. Alongside the main house, there is a beautifully renovated guest house that was once a camp counselor’s residence. Thoughtfully updated, it includes its own kitchen, full bath, comfortable living area, and private bedroom. Enhancing these features, extensive professional landscaping has been designed to incorporate a nearby stream into the overall design, seamlessly blending the natural surroundings with the lakeside setting. The private lakefront with 330 feet of frontage offers an expansive view of Portaferry Lake and includes a permanent dock, sitting platform, a rustic lean-to and a private beach. This home is being sold fully furnished, to making it truly move- in ready. Make this one-of-a-kind property yours -where history, luxury and nature converged.
