1564 Route 292 offers a rare opportunity to own a true lakefront retreat on Whaley Lake in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Set on an oversized parcel with adjacent open space that will never be built on, the property enjoys an uncommon sense of privacy and breathing room rarely found on the lake. The home underwent a major renovation and expansion in 2007, including the addition of a second-floor loft area and full bath, blending rustic lake house charm with modern functionality. A stylish kitchen renovation completed in 2019 adds updated finishes while maintaining the relaxed character of the home. One of the property's standout features is the walk-out lower level, which opens directly to water level, creating an effortless connection to the lake for kayaking, swimming, entertaining, or simply enjoying the view. The setting feels tucked away and peaceful, yet remains accessible to Pawling, Metro-North, and the surrounding Hudson Valley destinations. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape from the city or a year-round waterfront home, this is the kind of authentic lake property that rarely becomes available.
