If you’ve been looking at real estate ads you may be wary of the listings for "sportsman’s dream," "hideaway retreat," "secluded home," fabulous lakefront," and all those references to living on "Golden Pond." Perhaps you know the trivia tidbit that the movie On Golden Pond wasn’t filmed on a pond at all, but on an 8,000-acre lake replete with motorboaters, jet-boat riders, waterskiers, and today even tour boats.
Want to really be on a fabulous, secluded, heavily wooded, good fishing and non-motorboating body of water? Not too far from amenities or the highway? Not too far from the metropolitan area? This property is all of that and much more. Calling it "unique" is an understatement. |
This matchless property, located in Forestburgh, the least-densely populated town in Sullivan County’s Catskills, was originally part of a fishing and hunting estate that belonged to several renowned industrialists-businessmen-sportsmen.

The 6-bedroom, 4-bath 2,800-square-ft. house, built like a then-contemporary lodge in 1940, was designed by architect and renowned furniture maker Eugene Schoen and prominently featured in the April 1942 issue of Architectural Forum magazine.

A "mini-estate" at 9.64 acres, the property is accessed via a private 1/2-mile-long driveway, borders 5,466 acres of state land and a private 1,500-acre preserve, and has 475 feet of frontage on a superb 48-acre private fishing and boating pond.
