Stunning Lakefront Retreat

Stunning Direct Lake front home on historic Greenwood Lake which sits half in Orange County, NY and the other half in Passaic County, NJ. Why did we name the house On the Rocks? Because the house is perched up on a rock ledge producing the height needed to have some of the most spectacular expansive views. This house has undergone a massive transformation both inside and out. The interior has all new furniture, high end appliances, marble bathrooms and large gathering spaces to accommodate the entire family. The views from every room in the house are just wow! The open concept living room, kitchen and dining room are covered in wall-to-wall windows allowing tons of light to steam in. The area is perfect for watching the sunset behind the mountain range on the other side of the lake as it turns the sky orange and red.

The entire property, with 192 ft of lake frontage, has been meticulously revamped with beautiful hardscape which has produced thoughtful outdoor gathering spaces to maximize views and enjoyment.  There is a massive lower paver patio with two sets of rounded stone stairs to enter the lake. On the lower patio there is a patio set and chaise lounges for spending your day relaxing and enjoying all the water toys (2 single kayaks, 1 double kayak, a 5 person peddle boat, a stand-up paddle board).  There is also a Weber grill on the lower patio if you can’t seem to get the family to leave the lakeside. Take the sweeping stone staircase to the upper-level patio where you will find the views to somehow get even better.  Here you will find an outdoor sectional, cantilever umbrella, outdoor dining set and an additional Weber grill. This is the perfect spot for your morning coffee as you stare at the still and quiet of the lake or turn it up a notch for afternoon cocktails. Down a few steps from there is the side lawn which has a brand-new, custom-built new stone firepit.  Cozy up in one of the 8 Adirondack chairs that surround the fire and look out onto the beautiful view of the lake.  

Each season at On The Rocks comes with it’s own beauty and activities:

Summer: rent a pontoon boat for some lake adventures, head out to the numerous waterfront restaurants right on the lake, catch a sunset at the local homemade ice cream shop, catch the Renaissance Faire in Sterling Forest (15 minutes), head to a drive in movie, do some fishing, sunbathing or even an afternoon nap in the hammock.

Fall: Apples as far as the eye can see – the area is bursting with apple orchards where you can go picking and picnic for the day, don’t miss the annual Applefest in Warwick (15 min), catch the beautiful fall foliage all around you, take the family pumpkin picking or attempt a corn maze if you’re feeling adventurous.

Winter: If the temperature gets cold enough you may experience a frozen lake where you will see people ice skating, snow mobiling and ice fishing, You can hit the local family run mountain, (Mt. Peter -15 min) for a day of skiing, snowboarding or tubing. If you prefer a larger mountain, Mountain Creek is nearby as well (30 minutes). You can check out the massive icicles that form right off the mountains on our property.

Spring: Check out the foliage as everything starts to bloom, hiking, hiking and more hiking with the Appalachian trail surrounding the west shore of the lake, catch come live music at the local vineyards, distilleries and cideries, take a trip to the LEGOLAND theme park (25 minutes – it’s brand new and their largest location)
