Experience the best of lakefront living with this beautifully remodeled home on Chateaugay Lake. Boasting 385 feet of direct water frontage and nestled on a rare oversized 1.3-acre lakefront lot, this property offers a unique combination of privacy, space, and stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains—an opportunity that's becoming increasingly hard to find on Chateaugay Lake.
Step inside to find Brazilian cherry oak floors throughout and an open-concept layout that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The living room features stunning vaulted ceilings that create an airy, spacious feel, while the farmhouse-style kitchen—with its apron-front sink—overlooks the lake and flows seamlessly into the living area. Both spaces offer walk-out access to a gorgeous wraparound porch (added in 2020), ideal for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and everything in between.
The home includes 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a bonus room that's perfect for a home office or could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. Downstairs, a walk-out bar room opens up to an above-ground pool and offers incredible lake views—making it a fantastic space for entertaining year-round.
Additional updates include a new roof and new windows (2021) and a 25x25 garage offering ample storage. The grounds feature wild apple trees throughout, adding to the natural charm and seasonal beauty of the property. There's also potential for an additional building site, pending Adirondack Park Agency approval.
Whether you're casting a line in the lake, relaxing by the fire, or enjoying water sports in the summer, this home delivers the full lakefront lifestyle. Located just 35 minutes to Plattsburgh, 25 minutes to Malone, and only 1 hour and 30 minutes to Montreal—this rare Chateaugay Lake gem won't last long.
