    What's special

    Rare opportunity to own an exceptional 5.45-acre country retreat featuring a beautifully updated home and pool set on 2.02 acres, plus an adjacent buildable 3.43-acre lot offering added privacy and exciting possibilities for the future. Across the road, a picturesque pond feels like your own-great for fishing, kayaking and skating. At the heart of the home is a modern chef's kitchen with a large island and Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances, opening to a spacious informal dining room. Two sets of sliders lead to the wraparound deck overlooking rolling lawns and the pool-the perfect setting for al fresco dining and sunset views. The fantastic family room, with vaulted beamed ceiling and fireplace, is an inviting place to gather for movie nights or relaxed weekends at home. Outside, summer living takes center stage with a 20x40 saltwater pool and cabana complete with kitchenette and bathroom-perfect for effortless entertaining and long afternoons by the pool. And if that's not enough, Lake Zoar just two miles away, offering boating, fishing, hiking and relaxing days at Eichler's Cove Beach. Recent improvements include new Hardie siding, windows and doors throughout, a Tesla car charger, and Tesla Solar Roof with Powerwalls for self-sustaining power-providing energy efficiency and added peace of mind, especially for those enjoying the property as a weekend or second home. Less than 90 minutes from NYC, yet worlds away, this is country living at its best.
