Description: Fifty five minutes from midtown Manhattan but a lifetime away, a hidden gem exists in the Hudson River Valley, passed from family to family for nearly a century. Built in the style of the Great Camps of the Adirondack Lakes, a rustic, hand-hewn log cabin sits in 30 acres of pine forest on the shore of a private glacial lake, isolated from the population of the world’s busiest urban center yet teeming with fish and wildlife. This is the Cabin on Indian Lake.The log cabin was originally a hunting lodge, hand-built in 1918 from local chestnut trees. The main floor includes a 20’ x 20’ Great Room with stone fireplace, two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a bathroom. The Great Room and bedrooms all open onto a stunning 40’ x 10’ covered porch with natural railings, overlooking 50 acre, 100’+ deep, Indian Lake. All floors are hand-laid pine, and the 15’ high cathedral ceiling is enhanced with operable skylights. A rustic staircase from the Great Room leads to a 20’ long open loft, whose skylight, window, and central 6’6” headroom make it available as a third bedroom.

From the Great Room in this log cabin, an iron spiral staircase descends to the lower level, into a large living area made of stone from the property with two doors opening onto a 40’ x 10’ covered lower porch, also overlooking the lake. A large stone bedroom with private bathroom connects to the living area, also with its own door opening onto the lower porch. Both rooms are paved with rough-hewn slate flooring.

The log cabin is serviced by new 120 amp electrical, cable, broadband Internet and multi-line telephone service.  Water is from a new, private well, and heating is provided from both a new oil burner with new underground oil tank, and new baseboard electric heating. Outbuildings include a garage, a small playhouse, and the lodge’s original outhouse, now used for storage. A half-mile, private, paved drive connects to the town-maintained road, and hiking trails throughout the property provide access to neighboring properties.

This log cabin is a rare residence that is at one with the seasons, The log cabin is the perfect location for Fall leaf peeking, home to an explosion of mountain laurel in the Spring, the ideal lakeside fishing, sailing and swimming vacation in Summer, and an idyllic, snow-covered hideaway by the fire in Winter.
