Tucked among the trees of Silver Lake in Hancock, NY, this rare and charming cottage compound is the Catskills escape you've been waiting for. Set on two adjacent lots, this offering includes a finished 2BR/1BA lake house with room to personalize and a second cottage that is framed and ready for your vision. Enjoy the finished cottage right away while you finish the second building, and dream up the other ways you can make this compound fit your lifestyle and dreams. The hard part is done with the second building—includes a new roof and expanded living area—so just bring your design-forward touches and let your imagination take over. This will be a killer property! The finished cottage is bright, inviting, and filled with light thanks to large windows, vaulted ceilings, and crisp white walls. An open-concept living area flows into a lofted space that's a perfect getaway within this getaway. The efficient kitchen boasts cottage-style appeal, and simplicity shines in the bathroom. Two tranquil bedrooms create serene sleeping spaces. Wide plank-style floors throughout add warmth and contrast. The dining sunroom in the finished cottage feels like you are floating among the trees. It overlooks the lake and expansive deck—your front-row seat to lake breezes, birdsong, and starry nights. The interior of the second cottage is already framed and has electrical wiring in place. It needs insulation, drywall, flooring, some plumbing, and kitchen/bath fixtures, but the structure is sound, the roof is brand new, and the setting is just as lovely. A wraparound deck features a staircase leading to the lake, where you have dedicated lake access to launch a canoe or kayak, swim, fish, or simply take in the view. The lot is peaceful and private, but not isolated—Silver Lake is a small and beloved lake community with a mix of seasonal and year-round residents. It's the kind of place where people wave and summer memories are made. Silver Lake is just outside the town of Hancock, a historic river town at the confluence of the East and West Branches of the Delaware. The area is known for world-class fly fishing, tubing, antique shops, and a growing number of creative outposts. You're just over 2 hours from NYC and under 30 minutes from Callicoon and Roscoe for restaurants, breweries, and additional outdoor recreation.
