Overview

Your lakefront dream starts here. This rare vacant lot on coveted Rip Van Winkle within the sought-after Sleepy Hollow Lake Association offers the perfect canvas to build the custom home you've always envisioned -- complete with an existing dock ready and waiting for your boat. Set on a private 324-acre, two-and-a-half-mile-long lake, this property puts you right on the water with direct access for boating, fishing, kayaking, and waterskiing. Known as one of the best large- and small-mouth bass fishing habitats in New York State  -- and even home to the current NYS record for White Crappie -- the lake is a true sportsman's paradise. The surrounding 2,200-acre planned community is nestled within the viewshed of the Taconic Mountains to the east and the Catskill Mountains to the west,  offering breathtaking scenery in every direction. As an association member, you'll enjoy an incredible array of amenities: pools, a sand beach, tennis, pickleball, bocce, playgrounds, a lodge, basketball, a driving range, and more.  Located just a half-hour south of Albany with easy access to Hudson, Saratoga Springs, Hunter/Windham ski resorts, and NYC, this is four-season living at its finest. Whether you're looking for a primary residence or a lakefront retreat, Sleepy Hollow Lake offers a true sense of community rooted in natural beauty, recreation, and neighborhood warmth.
