35 Washington Lake Road

Description

Rare lakefront compound on 6.07 private acres along Washington Lake offering an extraordinary combination of residential grandeur, income-generating infrastructure, and Catskills natural beauty — all within 90 minutes of the George Washington Bridge. This 16-room estate spans the main residence and a fully independent one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest cottage with its own kitchen, delivering unmatched flexibility for multi-generational living, guest hosting, or supplemental income. The main structure features 10.5 bathrooms and a layout designed to accommodate large-scale gathering without sacrificing comfort or privacy. At the heart of the property is a commercial-grade chef's kitchen equipped with a multi-burner professional range, flat-top griddle, commercial hood ventilation, stainless prep islands, and full catering infrastructure — purpose-built for volume cooking and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, a sprawling great room with soaring double-height ceilings, a dramatic iron chandelier, and concrete floors creates a venue-worthy entertaining space unlike anything in the region. The lower-level game room is a standout: a fully appointed bar with seating for 12+, billiards, ping pong, and walls lined with sports memorabilia create a private club experience rarely found in residential real estate. A dedicated home theater room with projection setup and an extensive physical film library rounds out the entertainment wing — ready to use from day one. Outdoors, the elevated terrace showcases a built-in stone outdoor kitchen with a gleaming stainless wood-fired pizza oven, premium gas grill, refrigeration, and lakefront views across the water and surrounding tree canopy. A second covered deck with lounge seating provides additional alfresco living space. The gently sloping 6+ acres offer room to expand — additional structures, sport courts, a pool, or event lawn — subject to applicable municipal approvals. Properties with this breadth of infrastructure — commercial kitchen, multiple entertaining zones, private waterfront acreage, independent cottage, and proximity to the NYC market — are extraordinarily rare in Sullivan County. Whether positioned as a primary residence, a sophisticated retreat, or a hospitality-oriented venture, this estate delivers at every level. Buyers to independently verify all intended use permits with local zoning authorities.
