Forestburgh, NY

A RARE LAKE AND STREAM FRONT SANCTUARY ON THE COVETED SHORES OF THE SWINGING BRIDGE RESERVOIR. Boasting almost eight acres, this exceptional property commands over 300 feet of direct lake frontage and borders the historic stream-side remains of the Wickman Dam, a legendary water mill with heritage stone walls and over a dozen waterfalls cascading to the shoreline. Facing west, this gently sloping property enjoys ample sunlight throughout the year, and offers glorious wooded lake views. A cleared perimeter trail winds through a lush carpet of ferns, passing massive moss covered boulders shaded by birch and maple trees.
