Home Details for 109 Canal Road

Set above Wolf Lake on a wooded hillside, 109 Canal Road offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home with genuine character, beautiful lake views, remarkable outdoor spaces, and an unusually substantial connection to the water. Across the road, 85 feet of deeded lake access is shared with the immediate neighbors and includes a beach, sun deck, dock, seating area, and storage racks for canoes and kayaks. The longtime home of a respected local contractor and craftsman, the property has been refined over decades with an unmistakably personal hand. Knotty pine walls and ceilings, skylights, cherry-toned hardwood floors, arched openings, and lake-facing bay windows in both the dining area and living room give the interior the warmth of a true woodland retreat. Two full baths, including a soaking tub, add comfort without losing the home's rustic character. The grounds may be the property's most memorable feature. Just over half an acre has been shaped into a series of intimate outdoor spaces with dry-stacked stone walls, bluestone steps and patios, mature plantings, a waterfall pond, a second lily pond, landscape lighting, and paths winding through the wooded hillside. Water moves through a small brook created by the seller, where birds gather to bathe and the sound of running water turns an ordinary afternoon into something special. It is the kind of place where you can lose the stress of the week and, perhaps, find a little of yourself again. This is not a conventional lake house, nor is it direct waterfront, yet it offers many of the experiences people seek in one. It is something more individual: a home shaped and refined over decades with a craftsman's skill and an artist's eye, overlooking Wolf Lake, with an exceptional place at the water and grounds that would take years to imagine, let alone recreate. Located within Wolf Lake, one of Sullivan County's most sought-after private lake communities, the property offers access to approximately 1,800 acres of member-owned protected forestland, three spring-fed lakes, a community beach, clubhouse, basketball court, playground, and additional recreational facilities. All approximately 90 minutes from the George Washington Bridge. Annual association dues are $1,350, with a one-time new-member fee of $5,250.
