About The Property

It’s not often that a lakefront retreat with privacy comes on the market. Introducing Le Claire Lake House in Yulan, NY. At just under 2 hours from NYC, this turnkey home is perfect for weekend getaways or, if you’re considering an upstate move, this would be a fabulous full-time home too. Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end road, the contemporary chalet features open concept living and cathedral ceilings with a spacious deck that becomes an extension of your living area for al fresco entertaining in the warmer months with the lovely backdrop of Bodine Lake.

Driving down the pleasantly long gravel driveway, you’ll truly feel you are getting away from it all as you arrive at this peaceful and private oasis where you can take in the views of the pristine lake and the lush variety of evergreen and deciduous trees surrounding the property. Bodine Lake, a non-motorboat lake, is shared by a small number of homeowners and is great for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. There is a brand-new dock and floating island ready to be enjoyed for the summer season. Plenty of parking is available at the front of the house and, along the side of the home, you will find a delightful stone patio and fire pit for cozy evening gatherings under the stars. A second fire pit is also available closer to the lake.

Within the front door, you’ll be greeted by a welcoming mudroom in warm tones. This first floor features a spacious living room/kitchen/dining area that is anchored by a grand wood burning stone fireplace on one end and a minimalist open kitchen on the other. There are several windows on the wall facing the lake as well as a glass door that leads you out to the deck overlooking the back yard with a handful of fruit trees including apples, pears and peaches and the lake just beyond. There are two comfortably sized bedrooms and a full bathroom on this floor. Upstairs you’ll find the primary bedroom with an ensuite half bath. All the bedrooms contain queen sized beds.

In addition to these two floors, there in a lower level with bonus space that includes another living area – perfect for movie nights - with a cozy woodburning stove, a spacious full bathroom complete with a whirlpool tub and shower, and plenty of closets. This floor could easily host additional guests with a fold out sofa. Or, as the prior owners did, use this space as your primary suite. There’s a beautiful, enclosed and heated patio with a bluestone floor and an abundance of windows and a door that leads out to the outdoors from here.

The current owners have made several tasteful and practical updates making this lovely and well-maintained property as turnkey as it gets and ready for you to jump in just in time for the summer season. See the Extra Info link for a detailed list of the upgrades.

Just minutes away from a variety of amenities in downtown Eldred including Churchill After Hours for artisan coffee creations, Monteleone Gardens for hydroponic veggies and herbs year-round, and Sullivan Public, a community art space with offerings for children and adults. In addition, you have easy access to a great local grocery store, Peck’s Market, and other conveniences. Barryville is 7 minutes away and Narrowsburg is 15, both with even more options. Summer is calling!
