WATERFRONT PROPERTIES (6)
INDIAN CAVE LODGE ON LAKE GARFIELD IN MONTEREY, originally built as an inn and named for a small cave on the property, possibly the most remarkable lake house in the county. A private residence since the late 1950s, the lodge compound consists of a five bedroom Garrison Colonial main house with an indoor bridge to a two-story, three bedroom summer annex, along with a separate two bedroom guest house. The main lodge features a fifty foot great room with two marble fireplaces and five sets of French doors to a huge waterfront deck with panoramic views from a perch over the lake. The kitchen has a commercial Garland Stove, butler's pantry and laundry facilities. Upstairs, the master suite has another marble fireplace, dressing room and bath. All waterfront bedrooms have in-room sinks and French doors to an outdoor balcony. Wood floors and chestnut trim throughout the venerable house.
The summer annex is reached by a covered indoor bridge, and has a wall of windows and a built-in ship-like bar. The bedrooms and bath downstairs are accessed by outdoor balconies carved into the glacial site. Privately set in a woodland setting is a charming guest house with a vaulted great room and two master suites.
Tucked away near Monterey village center, up a beautiful dirt road then down a private shared drive, past views to Mount Everett and glacial cliffs, to a very private and incomparable setting with over 400' of waterfront and panoramic views of the lake.
Extensive renovations to structures and systems in 2000 and more recently, offer a buyer the opportunity to own a most historic lake lodge without the burden of repair work.
An incomparable and rarefied lakeside lifestyle may be experienced for generations to come from this unspoiled retreat in the manner of Adirondack great camps, on the best lake in the Berkshires.
