About the Listing COMPNY16 - 68999
Set just off the banks of Copake Lake and privately positioned on five wooded acres, The Van Bueran House offers a rare blend of modern design, an inground pool, and deeded lake rights to one of Columbia County’s most sought-after motorboat lakes. Recently renovated with forever in mind, the home pairs thoughtful design with meaningful infrastructure: white oak and radiant heated floors throughout, a standing seam metal roof, new windows, updated mechanicals, a whole-house generator, a new kitchen, and beautifully reimagined baths. Designed as both an escape from city life and a full embrace of it, this is a home that invites you to slow down, spread out, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of upstate New York. Curated with an emphasis on generous indoor-outdoor living, the home’s design prioritizes flow, light, and connection to its landscape - creating spaces that encourage gathering, movement, and a daily relationship with nature. At the heart of the home, the open living, kitchen, and dining wing is a true centerpiece - wrapped in an oversized deck and surrounded by the forest canopy. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and expansive sliding and french glass doors flood the space with natural light, while a striking black fireplace anchors the living room. A dining area designed for ten opens directly to the screened porch, while the kitchen introduces a playful pop of color and is centered around an oversized island built for conversation and connection. The main-level primary suite also offers vaulted ceilings and direct deck access - plus an en suite bath with radiant heated floors, a walk-in shower, and warm wood finishes. A second king-sized bedroom and an additional queen bedroom share a beautifully finished full bath (also with radiant heat). The lower level expands with a stylish media and game room, two thoughtfully designed bedrooms, and a full bath with a deep soaking tub. A substantial unfinished storage and laundry area with walk-out access adds practicality without compromising design. Outside, the 40’ x 16’ pool is tucked privately into the southern side of the property, where mature trees, a pool shed, solo fire pit, and star-filled skies create a secluded summer sanctuary. Below, a third lower deck offers yet another layer of retreat - ideal for slow mornings, outdoor dinners, reading, or yoga. A whole-house generator adds year-round confidence to this peaceful woodland setting. What truly distinguishes this offering is its connection to Copake Lake - one of the Hudson Valley’s most coveted recreational enclaves. Residents enjoy access to a private beach, docks, boat slips (based on availability), and the rare luxury of a beloved waterfront restaurant, creating a lake lifestyle that feels both vibrant and effortless. Minutes to Catamount Mountain Resort, Bash Bish Falls, Copake Country Club, and the celebrated dining, shopping, and cultural destinations of Hudson and Great Barrington, this is Hudson Valley living at its best - private, design-forward, and deeply connected to adventure. Under 30 minutes to Amtrak, 35 minutes to Metro North, and under two hours to the George Washington Bridge.
