LIVE AT THE LAKE! Beautifully rebuilt in 2022, this modern Catskills retreat offers coveted access to Swinging Bridge Reservoir, one of the region’s few motorboat lakes. Set along a quiet, secluded cove, the property features a new private dock and effortless entry to deep, pristine waters ideal for boating, jet skiing, sailing, swimming, and year-round enjoyment. A dramatic wall of windows frames sweeping lake views and captures breathtaking sunsets across the water. The grounds are enhanced by a picturesque stream and natural waterfall, adding a serene, storybook quality to the property’s already exceptional setting. Anglers will appreciate the lake’s exceptional DEC-stocked trout, bass, walleye, and panfish, making it one of Sullivan County’s premier fishing destinations. Select areas of the reservoir are protected to safeguard Bald Eagle nesting grounds, preserving the lake’s natural beauty and preventing future over-development along the shoreline.
The setting offers a rare blend of direct lake access and exceptional privacy. Currently operated as a short-term rental, complete with an established direct-booking website, the home is offered fully furnished for a seamless transition. A bright, open layout, updated systems, and inviting indoor/outdoor spaces make it ideal for both personal use and guest stays. Additional features include a Level 2 EV charger, high-speed internet, and a peaceful location on a quiet road. A professional property manager is already in place for buyers who wish to continue rentals.
Located just 90 minutes from NYC and moments from Bethel Woods, Resorts World Casino, hiking trails, and four-season recreation, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey lakefront residence in one of the Catskills’ most sought-after destinations. Furniture and household contents included; final allocation to be negotiated separately.
