An authentic deck house constructed and owned by the same family since the 1960s, ‘Camp Long Lake’ sits on over 100 acres of land at the foot Overlook Mountain. Surrounded by pristine woodlands and a stunning, private, 7-acre pond, this property is an ideal Catskills retreat, complete with a tennis court, bath house and two garages. Enjoying absolute seclusion and close proximity to the towns of Saugerties and Woodstock, this home is perfect for those who want to unplug in the beauty of nature, without sacrificing access to the restaurants, renowned music venues and cultural offerings that the region is known for. Architecturally, the home is a classic mid-century deck house. The main floor features an open plan with the kitchen, living room, and dining rooms all with sweeping water views. Vaulted mahogany ceilings and oversized windows draw one’s attention to the southern face of the house, all oriented toward the private pond. The living room features a beautiful fireplace and custom millwork with an integrated media center, a chic enclosed bar, and plentiful storage. The spacious deck wraps the southern and eastern elevations rendering it easy to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, perfect for summertime gatherings. The primary bedroom, also featuring pond views, is located on the main floor of the home with its own deck access, a large en-suite marble bathroom and a walk-in closet. Adjacent to the primary bedroom is an office, which could function as an additional sleeping area if desired. On the lower level of the home are two more bedrooms (one with an-ensuite bathroom), ideally set up for privacy when hosting guests. Each bedroom also enjoys a view of the pond. There is an oversized screening room which doubles as an informal den. There is also a mudroom and 2 car garage. Central heat and A/C throughout the home ensures comfort in this well-appointed house. Outside, there are multiple options for outdoor recreation and entertaining. The pond is pristine and swimmable, perfect for the long days of summer. The bath-house, with storage for kayaks, canoes, and fishing gear also has a built-in hot-tub for cooler days and evenings. There is a full-sized tennis court alongside the pond as well. Over 130 acres of pristine woodlands suitable for walking, hiking and biking, ensure absolute seclusion and adventure at this idyllic Catskills hideaway. There is also a 3-bedroom raised ranch and a 1-bedroom Sears Cottage at the foot of the property, perfect for extended guests, caretakers, or income producing rentals. There is no shortage of options in the surrounding area; the quaint Village of Saugerties is 10 minutes away, with charming coffee shops and restaurants to choose from. Woodstock is just 15 minutes away, with many options for dining and renowned music venues. Skiing at Hunter Mountain is under 30 minutes away, and hiking options in the surrounding area are endless.
