About this House

Rustic compound on Lake Zoar. Once in a while a truly special property comes to market, this is one of those. Overlooking Lake Zoar in Sandy Hook, welcome to The Fording House circa 1918. This private, waterfront property offers a tree lined gravel drive leading to the main house with floor to ceiling views of the lake, three bedrooms, kitchen with newer appliances, great room, sun room and more. There is a separate two room cottage connected by a beautiful breezeway. The cottage retreat boasts a glass conservatory bedroom designed by the Hilton family. While simple and accommodating in style, there are one of a kind features such as the all glass gazebo bedroom, views of the water from almost all of the rooms, waterfront privacy and charming architectural details. The compound has been lovingly maintained, substantial recent investments include but are not limited to new main house septic system, roofs, furnaces, gravel drive, dock system and exterior paint, Imagine waking up to the sun's rays warming your skin through the glass bedroom walls, providing a peaceful rest while taking in the natural habitat of the quiet cove. Immersed in history, with the outbuildings dating from 1918. The main home and guest quarters were built in 1957 by the previous owner who managed a high profile restaurant in NYC. Folklore has it that he frequently invited celebrities, including members of the rat pack and the Hilton family to stay at the lake who would fly in via sea plane. Privacy is paramount at Fording House, with all season views of the everchanging waterscape. This compound is the perfect retreat with the serenity of waterfront living ideal for quiet escapes or for large group lakeside entertaining.
