1616 Route 292, 5 Cottage | Pawling
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to complete a modern architectural home on one of the most extraordinary settings imaginable - a private island on Whaley Lake, accessible only by boat, offering privacy, water views, and recreation just 90 minutes from New York City. Set on a 4 1/2 acre island with 16 individually owned cottages, Whaley Lake is Dutchess County's largest private motorboat lake. The current owner, working with an experienced local builder, has done the hard part. Structural steel supports dramatic 10-foot glass walls, sliding doors and french doors open to yard, permits are secured, the roof is complete, and the exterior is enclosed and weather-protected. NYSEG has approved individual 200-amp electric service for each cottage. What remains is the most exciting part: finishing the interior to your own vision. The island's building rules govern each cottage's ground-floor footprint. This design uses that allowance at 1,075 SF with an additional 617 SF loft and a basement level planned for 500 SF of finished space, both exempt from the footprint limit OneKeyMLS 1050509
Directions to property: Route 292 to 1643 Route 292. This is the parking lot. Directly across the street is the dock for Whaley Lake Island Association.
