Welcome to Robinson Lake Cottage, a stylishly renovated Circa 1966 mid-century modern cottage in Copake’s friendly Taconic Shores community, just a three-minute walk to the private beach on Robinson Pond, a glacial lake known for its beauty and vibrant wildlife. Tucked within the Taconic Shores lake association, originally a resort development, now a year-round community, this 916-square-foot turnkey retreat has a relaxed, minimalist modern sensibility. The convenient one level open floor plan home has been renovated with care, featuring white oak floors, all-new windows, fresh paint, and a bright kitchen with Caesarstone counters, and stainless steel appliances. The living area centers around a new soapstone wood-burning stove, creating an inviting gathering place for chilly evenings. Off the living room are three cozy bedrooms and one-and-a-half modern baths. Every inch of this tidy cottage has been designed for easy living, from the enclosed front sunroom, to the covered back patio overlooking mature trees. Outdoors, there’s plenty of room to relax, with a large stone fire pit in a backyard that borders the woods. The home is situated on a double lot, offering potential for future development. The Taconic Shores community includes access to two private beaches, picnic areas, and boating on Robinson Pond. Currently a successful short-term rental, Robinson Lake Cottage is ideal for full-time living, as a weekend escape, or an investment property ready for immediate enjoyment. Located a mile from Copake’s charming town center, and just a 10 min drive to Catamount for skiing, this inviting cottage sits at the crossroads of the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires. The quaint town of Hillsdale is only 10 minutes away, and Great Barrington and Hudson are 25 minutes away for culture, dining, and shopping. Or stay home and enjoy hiking Bash Bish Falls, biking the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, lounging on the private, sandy beaches, or grilling at the nearby park. It’s the perfect move-in ready, low-maintenance getaway within a friendly community, less than 2.5 hours from New York City.
