Dènyèman bati ak trè ti itilizasyon, ranch modèn sa a ki gen dwa pou itilize lak(!) nan bèl ak prive Amber Lake nan Livingston Manor se yon opòtinite an lò pou pwochen jere li yo. Li fèt ak enjenye pou li ka vivab anpil ak ekonomik pou mentni, li mache pafè kòm yon kay prensipal oswa kay wikenn.

Lumière a antre nan fenèt ki fè fas sid la pou limen bèl gwo chanm nan - plas kote lavi chak jou ap devlope. Wotè plafon an monte jiska 13’. Li fasil pou imajine moman trankil nan maten ak yon kafe sou depo a pendant mois cho yo. Nan mwa ki frèt yo, limen fou bwa a epi fè yon dine ak zanmi yo. Pandan ane yo, se sa yo ki pral akimile kòm moman memore ak pwofondi afeksyon pou gwo kay sa a.

Kizin nan gen bèl ak dirab kontwa kwatz, yon fou pwopàn, ak anpil espas pou stocke. Rale kèk chèz ba oswa yon tab pou ti moun sou zile a pou dejene. Gen yon tab manje ki byen plase ki fasil pou chita uit.

Nan zòn vivan an, de pòt vè glise ki twò gwo ouvri sou yon depo 400 pye kare ki santi l tankou yon ekstansyon enteryè a—yon vrè kizin ete. Fè griyaj, dine, ak detann anba canopy pyebwa yo, ak frakap fèy yo kòm mizik ou. Yon inite mini-split kenbe bagay yo fre, men si chalè a vin entans, Amber Lake se jis yon ti mache oswa vwayaj bisiklèt.

Desann nan koridò a, sal lav machin nan se byen kache dèyè yon pòt pou kenbe bagay yo trankil ak deyò sight. Premye chanm nan—modès nan gwosè men ayeryen gras a liy do kay ki monte—se ideyal pou envite oswa yon kabinè. Twalèt ki atache a gen taye subway nan konbinezon douch/bain ak taye hexagone sou planche a pou yon ti touche kontrast ak tèkstur.

Dezyèm chanm nan pi espas ak sitiye nan dèyè kay la—parfe pou moun ki sansib a limyè (byenke kasòb nwit ka toujou itil, gras a fenèt ki gwo yo). Tout chanm yo gen anpil espas pou closet.

Suite prensipal la se yon vrè santuary. Genere nan tou de espas kare ak wotè plafon, li gen yon douch an-suite liksye ak de lavabo, yon douch ki ka mache-dan, ak yon tèt ki ka benyen ki fon. De closet bay anpil espas pou rad, epi gen aksè dirèk nan depo a—ideyal pou yon retrèt trankil nan maten oswa pou gade zetwal nan aswè.

Amber Lake se youn nan pi bèl lak yo nan zòn nan. Li nan 1900 pye elevasyon e li se sous peyi ak dlo frèt, pwòp soti nan Catskills aquafer. Dlo li yo desann pou alimante la peche renome truit nan Rivyè Beaverkill. Aksè se jis yon mache 10 minit (oswa yon kondwit rapid oswa vwayaj bisiklèt), ak yon kay pataje pou lanse bato—oswa tèt ou—nan dlo ki klè tankou kristal. Pote yon kano oswa bato jon epi peche pou bass, perch, oswa pickerel.

Epi lè ou pare pou retounen nan sivilizasyon, ou jis uit minit depi swa nan Roscoe—ki gen Grizzly Bagels ak The Junction—oswa Livingston Manor, kay restoran Stumble Out ak Catskill Art Space, pami anpil lòt.

Recently constructed and very lightly used, this modern ranch with lake rights(!) to the beautiful and private Amber Lake in Livingston Manor is a golden opportunity for its next stewards. Designed and engineered to be both highly livable and economical to maintain, it works perfectly as a primary or weekend home.

Light streams in the south-facing windows to illuminate the lovely great room – the place where everyday living will unfold. The ceiling height soars up to 13’. It is easy to visualize quiet quotidian moments having a morning coffee on the deck in the warmer months. In the colder months, fire up the wood stove and have a dinner party with friends. Over the years, these are the memorable times that will accumulate and deepen affection for this great home.

The kitchen has lovely and durable quartz countertops, a propane stove, and loads of storage. Pull up a couple of stools or a highchair to the island for breakfast. There’s a perfectly situated dining room table that easily seats eight.

In the living area, two oversized sliding glass doors open onto a sprawling 400 sq ft deck that feels like an extension of the interior—a true summer kitchen. Grill, dine, and relax under the canopy of trees, with rustling leaves as your soundtrack. A mini-split unit keeps things cool, but if the heat gets intense, Amber Lake is just a short stroll or bike ride away.

Down the hall, the laundry room is discreetly tucked behind a door to keep things quiet and out of sight. The first bedroom—modest in size but airy thanks to the upward-sloping roofline—is ideal for guests or a home office. The adjacent bathroom features subway tile in the tub/shower combo and hexagon tile on the floor for a touch of contrast and texture.

The second bedroom is more spacious and located at the rear of the house—perfect for light-sensitive sleepers (though blackout shades might still come in handy, thanks to the large windows). All bedrooms have ample closet storage.

The primary suite is a true sanctuary. Generous in both square footage and ceiling height, it includes a luxurious en-suite bath with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub. Dual closets provide plenty of wardrobe space, and there’s direct access to the deck—ideal for a quiet morning retreat or late-night stargazing.

Amber Lake is one of the nicest lakes in the area. It is at 1900’ elevation and is spring-fed by the cold, pure Catskills aquafer. Its waters flow down to feed the renowned trout fishing of the Beaverkill River. Access is just a 10 minute walk (or a quick drive or bike ride), with a shared pier for launching boats—or yourself—into the crystal-clear water. Bring a canoe or jon boat and fish for bass, perch, or pickerel.

And when you're ready to rejoin civilization, you’re just eight minutes from either Roscoe—with Grizzly Bagels and The Junction—or Livingston Manor, home to Stumble Out restaurant and the Catskill Art Space, among many others. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
