Hoot's Hideaway at 1760 Tamarack Trail is a private lakefront retreat unlike anything else on Skaneateles Lake, set on 3.9 acres of beautifully wooded property with towering mature trees and 218 feet of level shoreline that makes the water feel like your own. Just 7 miles from the Village of Skaneateles and served by the award-winning Skaneateles Central School District, the location is as practical as it is peaceful. Built in 2015 by Kevin Rich Construction to an exceptionally high standard, this custom craftsman home was designed with the lake in mind at every turn, from the soaring great room windows that frame the water to the oak floors with their silky satin finish that run throughout. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with SubZero and Wolf appliances and custom cabinetry, while on the opposite side of the home, a private library with custom built-in bookshelves has its own stairway and the kind of separation from the rest of the house that makes it equally suited as a home office or potential primary suite. Three bedrooms each have their own ensuite bath, including the primary suite with French doors and a private balcony overlooking the lake. Two additional powder rooms, a soundproofed exercise room with a sauna, and a fully finished lower level with Murphy beds, a media center, and a snack bar mean there is room for everyone. The home is engineered for year-round comfort with in-floor radiant heat throughout, five cooling zones, a whole-house generator, and gigabit high-speed internet that makes remote work seamless. Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds feature extensive stonework and layered retaining walls that terrace down through perennial gardens and mature plantings to the water's edge, where a substantial permanent dock is ready for a boat hoist and two moorings, making this a true base for boating, kayaking, swimming, and everything Skaneateles Lake has to offer. A heated oversized attached garage and heated detached barn add practicality to the picture. Whether it is a summer morning out on the water or an October evening watching the tree canopy turn to gold along the drive, Hoot's Hideaway is the kind of place that stays with you.
