Tested many times! This magical setting features towering trees, your own private sandy beach and dramatic views of the pristine 110 acre spring-fed lake.

High ceilings and large rooms with big windows bring the natural surroundings indoors. The large country kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances overlooks the lake adding state of the art comfort to this serene setting. Fantastic summer/weekend retreat or full time residence with easy commute. This is the ultimate family getaway!

An association clubhouse offers a community beach, tennis courts, baseball field, fishing club, sailing club and all kinds of group activities. So whether you want to be alone or enjoy the company of a lovely lake side community, this property offers it all. Its key location near I-287 allows easy access to New York City and nearly all points in New Jersey and New York. Truly a unique and wonderful property!

The New York Times 3/28/03:

"It's hard to conceive of a town (Bloomingdale) with gleaming alpine lakes and thickly forested peaks within sight of the Empire State Building, but... Bloomingdale, is such a place."

"This sense of remoteness, without really being remote at all, is perhaps the most striking characteristic of the lakes of Bloomingdale."

This island is spectacular!
