Kick off your flip flops and enjoy lake life. Tucked above Copake Lake in Hillsdale, NY, Lakelight is a freshly renovated chalet with deeded lake access, two sunny decks, and something most lake houses don’t offer: privacy. This isn’t a shoulder-to-shoulder shoreline setup. You’ve got space, trees, light, and breathing room—with the water just two minutes away down a quiet private road.

Set on a generous grassy lot, the home balances laid-back simplicity with high-impact style. The main living area is upstairs, soaking in light through big windows and glowing beneath vibey wood ceilings that hit just the right note of rustic-modern. A newly renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, and easy flow throughout make it a breeze for hosting—or just escaping. Climb the living room ladder to a usable attic space that’s perfect for sleepovers, storage, or solo reading retreats.

Outside, your two decks are made for golden hours and lazy mornings—whether you’re sipping coffee, grilling dinner, or sunning like a lizard with a good book. Down in the yard, a firepit area is primed for s’mores, stories, and impromptu dance parties.

Deeded lake rights include shared lakefront access just a quick walk away. Morning swims, sunset paddles, and spontaneous boat rides are all on the table—literally, bring your coozies.

Under two hours from NYC, Lakelight is perfectly positioned—just 20 minutes from both Hudson and Great Barrington, and 10 minutes from skiing at Catamount. Spend your days exploring beloved local spots like Little Cat Lodge, Roe Jan Brewing, Little Apple Cidery, Zinnia’s Dinette, and Camphill Coffee, then come home to your private hilltop retreat. The location nails it, the amenities deliver, and yes—it’s a make your friends jealous kind of house. Better snag it before they do. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
