Forestburgh, NY 12777

Step into a piece of New York history—this rare Forestburgh property offers a blend of timeless craftsmanship, natural beauty, and serene lakefront living just two hours from NYC and Long Island. Originally reconstructed using materials from the 1939 World’s Fair Swedish Pavilion, the main residence is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch-style cabin nestled on protected watershed land, offering breathtaking lake views from nearly every room. Crafted almost entirely of wood and framed by towering pines, the home features Jefferson and Andersen windows that bathe the interior in natural light. The expansive living room—with its rustic flagstone fireplace—is perfect for fireside conversations, family gatherings, or peaceful solitude. Step outside to a covered porch overlooking the calm, reflective lake—once a flowing river, now a tranquil body of water bordered by ancient trees. Whether sipping coffee on the lakeside deck, launching a kayak from the private dock, or casting a line in the still waters, outdoor living is a daily rhythm here. Rowboat and two kayaks are included. **The true bonus? This offering includes a second, buildable 2.51-acre parcel—adding both value and opportunity.** **Property Highlights:** **Second lot with confirmed building rights** — Ideal for a guest home, studio, or future investment * Grandfathered loft cabin at the water’s edge—ready for renovation * Three outbuildings: utility shed, wood shed, and a large structure with conversion potential * Deep freshwater well and underground propane tank * Offered fully furnished and move-in ready * Already operating as a successful income-generating Airbnb Whether you're enjoying sunrise paddles, evening fires, or stargazing from your porch, this home invites you to slow down and savor each moment.
