It’s tough to find a decently-priced lake house these days. Even lake rights homes in a community can be pricy for what you often get: a seasonal cottage on a 1/10th an acre, plus community fees. Why not just skip all that hassle and buy a property with its own private lake? “But does it come with a cottage,” one may be inclined to ask. No, this lake doesn’t come with a cottage. Instead, it comes with a 2200 square foot, 4 bed/3 bath farmhouse from the 1860s…and the farm that goes with it.

Located in eastern Dutchess County, the farmhouse itself includes wood floors, living room wood stove, ceiling beams, bright kitchen with entrance to the stone deck out back, basement, and attic. An enclosed pavilion is situated near the lake, which makes it a killer place to summer outdoor soirees. The property size is a whopping 50 acres in size, privacy assured.

You’ll find this private lake just south of Dover Plains, less than 2 hours from NYC.
