406 Kenoza Trail, Kenoza Lake

Discreetly tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a private HOA road, this stunning lakefront home sits at the back of Kenoza Lake -- surrounded by forest, fronted by water, and hidden from the world in the best possible way. Custom-built in 2023 by Modern Catskills in close collaboration with the sellers, the home was conceived for a particular kind of living: pre-dinner swims off the dock, long evenings on the wrap-around deck, and a seamless connection between the natural world outside and the open, thoughtfully designed interior within.

With 360 feet of shoreline, a private dock extends into the lake, giving direct access to the water for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Whether you're slipping in for a sunrise swim out to the swim deck in the middle of the lake or setting out across the lake for an afternoon paddle, the water is always just steps from your door -- and entirely your own corner of it. A cedar hot tub sits among the trees with views framed through the forest to the lake -- the perfect place to unwind any time of year. Beautiful hand-laid bluestone stone walls have been added to create a sense of terroir. The harmonizing of the elements is visceral here - trees, water, stone, and light. Fresh air. Ahhhh.

Huge picture windows frame the landscape, with the shimmering water reflecting upwards. Enjoy front row seats as the seasons slowly change. The deck has stadium-style stairs that serve two purposes: to enjoy uninterrupted, year-round views of the lake from the kitchen and dining areas, and, in warmer months, to have friends sitting there, perhaps with a drink in hand, enjoying a moment in time together that no one will soon forget.

Spanning 2,616 square feet across two levels plus a finished basement, the home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Polished concrete floors with radiant heat run throughout, lending the interior a warm, gallery-like quality that anchors the modern architecture. A metal roof completes the sleek exterior profile.

The finished lower level adds a 3rd bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a generous game room, and a laundry room with a half bath -- ideal for entertaining, a home gym, or creative space. Outside, a fenced garden with raised planting beds invites serious growing season ambitions. A solar-powered toolshed and a Tesla EV charger speak to the home's eco-friendly ethos.

Set on 5.48 private acres, this is the rare lakefront property that delivers genuine seclusion -- no through traffic, no compromises -- just forest, water, and a home designed to make the most of both.
