62 Stag Forest Rd, Forestburgh, NY 12777

This Secluded Lakeside Retreat in Forestburgh is a Rare Gem in the Catskills. Tucked away in the Forestburgh woods, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch-style cabin is more than a home it's a sanctuary. Perched above a tranquil lake on protected New York watershed land, this property offers both breathtaking views and peace of mind, as it sits safely above the waterline while remaining hidden among the trees. The land itself feels sacred, once a flowing river now held quietly in a serene dipping lake with a private deck, complete with a rowboat and two kayaks. Towering trees, including two ancient pine sentinels by the dock, create an almost mystical portal to nature's embrace. Built almost entirely of wood, the three-bedroom plus sleeping loft, two-bathroom, main house is designed for lake views from almost every window. The vast living room with an immense flagstone fireplace opens onto a spacious covered porch overlooking the lake, and a warm kitchen complete with its own hearth is perfect for gathering around on crisp mountain nights. Large Jefferson windows and original Andersen wooden-framed windows flood the home with natural light, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. The house has a unique history, sourced from the 1939 New York World's Fair Swedish Pavilion and rebuilt here plank by plank, including the carved. Beyond the main house, the property includes: * A grandfathered-in loft cabin at the water's edge ready to be reimagined * A utility shed, wood shed, and a large storage shed that can also be converted into accommodations * A deep freshwater well, ensuring pristine drinking water * An underground propane tank * Bonus: An adjoining lot with building rights for another house A Sustainable Future With protected land surrounding the property and the potential to go fully off-grid with solar, this home offers a rare opportunity for self-sufficiency in uncertain times.
