Fifty five minutes from midtown Manhattan but a lifetime away, a hidden gem exists in the Hudson River Valley, passed from family to family for nearly a century. Built in the style of the Great Camps of the Adirondack Lakes, a rustic, hand-hewn log cabin sits in a pine forest on the shore of a private glacial lake, isolated from the population of the world's busiest urban center yet teeming with fish and wildlife. This is the Cabin on Indian Lake.The Cabin on Indian Lake is a hunting lodge, hand-built between 1918 and 1922 primarily from chestnut trees hand-hewn on site. The main floor consists of a 23' x 16' Great Room with stone fireplace, two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a bathroom. The Great Room and bedrooms all open onto a stunning 45' x 10' covered porch with natural railings, overlooking Indian Lake. All floors are hand-laid pine, and the 15' high cathedral ceiling is enhanced with operable skylights. A rustic staircase from the Great Room leads to a 20' long open loft, whose skylight, window, and central 6'6" headroom makes it available as a third bedroom.Down an iron spiral staircase adjacent to the fireplace is the lower level. Made completely of stone from the property, the staircase descends into a large living area with two doors opening onto a 45' x 10' covered lower porch, also overlooking the lake. A large stone bedroom with private bathroom connects to the living area, and also has its own door opening onto the lower porch. Both rooms are paved with rough-hewn slate flooring. The cabin is serviced by new 120 amp electrical service from New York State Electric and Gas, cable television and broadband Internet service from Cablevision, and multi-line telephone service from Verizon. Water is supplied from a new, private well on the property, and heating is provided from both a new oil burner with new underground oil tank, and new baseboard electric heating. Outbuildings on the property include a recently renovated garage, a small playhouse, and the lodge's original outhouse which is now used for storage. A 0.6 mile private, paved drive connects to the town-maintained road, and hiking trails throughout the property provide access to neighboring properties.Additional property info: http://www.forsalebyowner.com/listing/4-bed-Log-Cabin-Home-for-sale-by-owner-19-Camp-Collins-Road-10579/23957747?provider_id=28079
