2996 W Lake Rd, West Edmeston, NY 13485

Trade traffic, noise, and crowded weekends for your own peaceful place on the water. Tucked along scenic Gorton Lake in Brookfield, NY, this beautifully updated 2 bedroom waterfront cottage sits on just over an acre of private, partially wooded land and offers a true four season Upstate escape. Whether you’re coming from NYC, Long Island, New Jersey, or elsewhere in the Northeast, this is the kind of place made for weekends that feel longer than they actually are. With nearly 700 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, the cottage has everything you need to settle in and start enjoying lake life. Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen, full bathroom, a beautiful oak winder staircase with recessed LED lighting, and a wood stove that makes snowy winter weekends especially inviting. A built in safe provides secure storage for valuables and personal belongings while you’re away. Step outside onto the expansive deck overlooking the lake, perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dinners, drinks with friends, or simply sitting back and taking in the view. The property also includes a private dock, adding to the classic lakefront setting and giving you another place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Spend warm weather days swimming, kayaking, fishing, and enjoying everything Gorton Lake has to offer, then come home to your own quiet waterfront retreat. The outdoor space was made for entertaining and unwinding. Gather around one of the property’s multiple outdoor fire pits, cook dinner outside with both a propane grill and charcoal grill, and finish the night under the stars. A separate storage shed provides room for kayaks, fishing equipment, hunting gear, lawn equipment, snowmobile gear, and all the extras that come with four season lake living. When summer ends, there’s no reason to stop enjoying the property. Fall brings incredible foliage throughout the surrounding forests and hills, with nearby state lands offering opportunities for hiking, exploring, wildlife watching, and hunting where permitted. Crisp mornings, colorful leaves, time in the woods, and evenings around the fire make autumn one of the best seasons to be here. When winter arrives, light the wood stove and settle in for a cozy weekend, or head out to enjoy nearby snowmobile trails and winter recreation. Bring the snowmobiles, snowshoes, hunting gear, or simply spend a quiet snowy weekend tucked away beside the lake. Major infrastructure improvements have already been handled, including a newer high capacity drilled well and a new 2,000 gallon septic system with an alarm for easy maintenance monitoring. The property also features multiple driveways and generous parking areas, giving you plenty of room for guests, boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, and weekend toys. The yard is already wired for an invisible pet fence, making it easy for your four legged family members to enjoy the property too. This isn’t a lake house you enjoy for two months and forget about the rest of the year. It’s summer days swimming and kayaking. Fall foliage and hiking. Hunting season. Snowmobile weekends. Winter nights beside the wood stove. Spring days watching the lake and woods come back to life. It’s a place to disappear to on Friday afternoon, bring your friends, bring the dogs, put the phone down, and stay awhile. Private waterfront. More than an acre. Four season recreation. Move in ready.
