249 Woodstone Trail, White Lake, NY 12786 (MLS # 20261478)

Life at Woodstone Lodge, a private residence within Chapin Estate, encompasses the very best of the Catskills. Lakefront living on Swinging Bridge Reservoir delivers a continual string of memorable experiences -- peaceful mornings watching the mist rise over the water, kayaking past ducks into quiet coves along the lake's nine-mile stretch, and taking a refreshing plunge off your private dock. Motorboats are permitted, and you can pull right up to Swinging Bridge Marina for a bite to eat. The home is a destination unto itself, scoring high marks for entertaining. A dedicated hot tub room opens onto the deck, where a bar hutch sets the stage for convivial gatherings. The walkout lower level offers a TV/games room, a separate gym, and an adjacent pantry for beverages and snacks. The heart of the home is spacious and dramatic, centered on a towering two-story stone fireplace facing a wall of glass and accented with large structural timbers. The long deck overlooks an open lawn stretching toward the water, framed by trees for privacy. The integrated chef's kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, with abundant storage, generous counter space, and Viking appliances including a wall oven and 5-burner gas stove. The dedicated dining area is flanked by two sets of sliding glass doors opening to the deck -- ideal for lingering over meals. Five bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed throughout the home. A ground-floor en suite gives guests privacy without the stairs. Upstairs, the primary suite features a cathedral ceiling, propane fireplace, TV, walk-in closet, and French doors to a private balcony. The primary bath offers a deep jetted Jacuzzi tub, tiled shower, and double sinks. Two pretty guest bedrooms and a full bath occupy the opposite side of this level, one with its own balcony access. The fifth bedroom is on the lower level, served by a full bath on the same hallway. The property sits within Chapin Estate, a 2,500-acre preserve fronting three lakes -- though this is unlikely to match your vision of a ''gated community.'' Large homes are tucked away on 5+ private acres along gravel country roads that preserve an understated sense of country affluence. Residents may join the Lake Club, a relaxed gathering spot with a pool, boat access, small gym, tennis, and pickleball. And since 2022, the Chatwal Lodge -- 11 high-end rooms within the Estate -- has offered residents access to private dining at its Rustic Grill.
