Welcome to Shaker Forge House, a private, modern retreat set on over six wooded acres with deeded access to the shimmering waters of Queechy Lake. This thoughtfully designed contemporary offers secluded indoor-outdoor living in a peaceful, natural setting near the New York-Massachusetts border.
The home makes a striking first impression, with a circular drive leading to its hardwood-clad exterior, dark metal roof, and sleek concrete hardscaping. This dramatic entrance sets the tone for the design-forward details inside, where vaulted ceilings and picture windows fill the home with natural light. The great room is anchored by a wood-burning stove and opens out onto a new 1,000-square-foot wraparound deck—perfect for dining under the stars or gathering with friends after a swim in the lake. The eat-in chef's kitchen features Cafe appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a cozy sunroom for morning coffee or after-dinner games. Just down the hall, the first-floor primary suite offers a serene escape with a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. A second bedroom and full bath complete the main floor, which also features interior access to the attached two-car garage and new closet organization systems.
Downstairs, the finished walkout level expands the home's living space with a sprawling media room warmed by a second wood stove and offering room for multiple sofas. A third bedroom and full bath make this level ideal for guests, while two additional rooms currently serve as a gym and an office. A dedicated laundry room and two new utility rooms round out the floor.
Outside, the land has been beautifully considered. A shaded patio beneath the deck offers cool summer refuge. A small pond and seasonal stream reflect the light just right. A two-bay outbuilding offers flexibility for a studio, guest cottage, or additional storage. Set on a private road in the Shaker Ridge community, the home enjoys shared amenities including a tennis court, road maintenance, and lake access. Located just 15 minutes from Lenox, 20 from Chatham, and 2.5 hours from New York City, this contemporary sanctuary offers the space to stretch out, breathe deeply, and settle into the rhythms of country life.
