Fredrick Olmsted created Central Park, Gregory Coster created DeWitt Lake. Well, not exactly. Receding glaciers of the last ice age created a series of lakes in the Hudson Valley that include Minnewaska and Mohonk. People travel hours and sit in traffic to swim, bike, relax and sip tea in the beauty created millennia ago. Available for the first time in a generation, you can now step outside to your own private park. Imagine your morning consisting of a mile run around the lake or a 5000-meter swim after your first coffee. Or setting up your camera for a picture a day to document a year of unimaginable sunsets. The diversity of views and terrain have been refined and developed. Like central park there are hidden gems throughout; the secret meadow, elevated forest and waterfall are all yours.Unlike most real estate sales, this is not about the house. And yet, the two houses on property are little jewels you will not find anywhere else. Start with the two cantilevered decks of the lake house that seem to float above the water. The upper level has views of the lake from every corner including the kitchen. And for the romantics, there is a sleeping loft with the highest view from the house. The lower level consists of a club room you would find in the turn of the century hotels of new york. Complete golden oak paneled walls and a Murphy bed tucked away it is writer's dream. Treat this as the bedroom and private deck. The Admirals cabin, tucked into the woods above the lake is the perfect State Room for guests. And for those with larger dreams, there is a building spot at the end of a cedar lined driveway overlooking the lake waiting for your dream home.
