Welcome to this quiet, waterfront, scenic, Pocono-adjacent mountain region known for premier skiing, four-season recreation, and private vacation living. Set on 11.62 secluded acres, this extraordinary 7-bedroom, 5.5-bath lakefront estate features a 5-acre private stocked lake, floating dock, heated in-ground pool, gazebo, barn, and sweeping mountain views. With nearly 3,500 square feet and resort-style amenities throughout, the property is perfectly suited for a luxury short-term rental, multi-generational retreat, or exceptional second home.
Tucked along a quiet country road in Wayne County, the home blends historic farmhouse character with modern upgrades and high-end finishes, including marble countertops, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, mahogany flooring, slate, tile, and a dramatic stone fireplace. Recent improvements include a new roof, newly paved circular driveway, and new pool heater.
The flexible layout offers seven true bedrooms, five full baths, expansive gathering areas, a second-floor family room, den with fireplace, bonus room, and a finished walk-out basement with a full bath and poolside access, creating an ideal setup for entertaining, retreats, or Airbnb/VRBO functionality.
Outside is where the property truly stands apart. The private lake is stocked with walleye, striped bass, largemouth bass, yellow perch, and three species of catfish, and includes a professional aeration system and oversized floating dock for fishing, kayaking, and small boating. Additional features include a fenced heated pool, lakeview balcony, patios, decks, circular paved driveway, and a large detached barn for storage, recreation, or workshop use.
Located under 20 minutes from Elk Mountain Ski Resort and close to hiking, boating, rail trails, and the Delaware River, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and income potential in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
