41 Tamarack Road, Mahopac, NY, 10541 | $1,799,999

Rarely does a property come to market that captures everything Lake Mahopac has to offer in one address. Offered for the first time in over 50 years, set within the gated private enclave of Mahopac Point, one of the lake's most coveted and tight-knit communities, this waterfront residence sits on over 100 feet of open water on one of the finest stretches of shoreline the lake has to offer. Step through to the back of the home and the lake opens up before you, facing due west across open water. Here, mornings begin on the water, afternoons unfold on the dock, and evenings belong to the kind of sunsets that stop you mid-sentence. These sunsets are not something you hear about. They are something you live. A classic stucco exterior with wrought iron balconies and an arched entry portico creates an elegant arrival, set behind a stone wall with a heated paver driveway and walkway. Step inside and the lake takes over. The main level centers around a great room with a stone fireplace, flowing into a bright gathering space where floor-to-ceiling glass frames an unobstructed panorama of open water. Every room on this level feels connected to the shoreline. A terraced stone landscape descends to a lakefront rich with everything lake life promises. A bluestone patio shaded by a magnificent mature tree leads to the water's edge and a private dock, while a grassy lawn stretches along the stone seawall in the sun. Swim right from your own shoreline. Launch your boat from your own boathouse. This is the Lake Mahopac lifestyle, fully realized. Spanning the full side of the home from front to back, the indoor/outdoor living space is unlike anything else on the market. Graceful arched columns frame full views of the lake, motorized retractable screens vanish at the touch of a button, and suddenly you are not inside anymore. An outdoor kitchen and skylights make it a space you will never want to leave. The kitchen is well-appointed and designed around a center island that invites everyone to gather. A wood-planked ceiling and farmhouse sink give it warmth, while granite countertops and stainless steel appliances provide a solid foundation for whatever vision you bring to it. Wake up to the lake. The main-level primary suite, with its wood-beamed ceiling and gas fireplace, offers single-floor living without sacrificing the view. Upstairs, the home continues to surprise. A bonus room with a fireplace, custom built-ins, a wet bar, and skylights is open to the main level below, drawing in water views through sweeping sightlines. Both additional bedrooms have a front-row seat to the lake, and one leads through French doors onto a private deck with views that stretch as far as the eye can see. Most lower levels are afterthoughts. This one looks out over open water. Two of the three finished rooms enjoy lake views and direct access outside, including a private retreat with a bay window and sliders to the back of the property. Ready for your personal vision throughout, this home offers a rare chance to put your own stamp on a truly irreplaceable waterfront setting in Putnam County. The open water views, 100 feet of lake frontage, a private dock, a boathouse, and a coveted location within Mahopac Point are not things you can replicate. Mahopac Point is not just a neighborhood. Established in 1923, it is a community of 92 homes on a private 52-acre peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Mahopac, shaped by generations of families who never left. It is a walkable peninsula community with private beach and dock access, steps from Chamber Park where summer concerts fill the evenings, and a short walk to Mahopac's shops and restaurants. Close enough to the city to commute. Far enough to feel like another world. Opportunities like this are measured in decades, not years. With over 100 feet of open waterfront, a private boathouse and dock, west-facing sunsets, and a premier location within Mahopac Point, this is a legacy property that cannot be recreated.
