Calling All Homebuyers and Builders!
This exceptional 1.28-acre lakefront property on Lake Oscawana offers 104 feet of private shoreline. It includes an existing fixer-upper offered “As-Is” and fully-approved architectural plans for a modern luxury home, giving you the choice to renovate or build your dream retreat surrounded by protected lands and breathtaking views.
This is a rare opportunity to secure one of the lake’s most private and scenic parcels, bordered by forever-protected Town, County, and State lands, including the beautiful 15,638-acre Fahnestock State Park. Located at the quiet northeast end of Lake Oscawana, the property enjoys spectacular panoramic views of shimmering open water and wooded hillsides, creating a serene setting just 1 hour from New York City.
The approved plans envision a sophisticated modern home designed to maximize natural light and lake views. The layout includes 3 bedrooms, a den or office, 3 baths, multiple lake-facing decks, expansive windows, and approximately 800 square feet of customizable space on the walk-out lower level. The design emphasizes an easy indoor/outdoor flow for year-round enjoyment.
Approvals also include a 2-car carport and a private boat dock for motorboats, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or relaxing by the water. All approvals with the Town of Putnam Valley, Putnam County, and New York State agencies have been secured, saving years of planning and engineering work.
Lake Oscawana spans 386 acres and approximately 2 miles in length and is considered one of the most desirable lakes in the Hudson Valley. Residents can enjoy boating, wakeboarding, water skiing, sailing, paddleboarding, swimming, and excellent fishing, all in a clean and preserved environment.
With its combination of privacy, natural beauty, and ready-to-go approvals, this property offers a unique opportunity to create a custom lakefront retreat with some of the best views on Lake Oscawana. Annual taxes are $16,011, with Town and County taxes at $4,165 and School taxes at $11,846.
