1 Van Bueran Drive

Set just off the banks of Copake Lake and privately positioned on five wooded acres, The Van Bueran House offers a rare blend of modern design, an inground pool, and deeded lake rights to one of Columbia County's most sought-after motorboat lakes. Recently renovated with forever in mind, the home pairs thoughtful design with meaningful infrastructure: white oak and radiant heated floors throughout, a standing seam metal roof, new windows, updated mechanicals, a whole-house generator, a new kitchen, and beautifully reimagined baths. Designed as both an escape from city life and a full embrace of it, this is a home that invites you to slow down, spread out, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of upstate New York. Curated with an emphasis on generous indoor-outdoor living, the home's design prioritizes flow, light, and connection to its landscape - creating spaces that encourage gathering, movement, and a daily relationship with nature. At the heart of the home, the open living, kitchen, and dining wing is a true centerpiece - wrapped in an oversized deck and surrounded by the forest canopy. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and expansive sliding and french glass doors flood the space with natural light, while a striking black fireplace anchors the living room. A dining area designed for ten opens directly to the screened porch, while the kitchen introduces a playful pop of color and is centered around an oversized island built for conversation and connection. The main-level primary suite also offers vaulted ceilings and direct deck access - plus an en suite bath with radiant heated floors, a walk-in shower, and warm wood finishes. A second king-sized bedroom and an additional queen bedroom share a beautifully finished full bath (also with radiant heat). The lower level expands with a stylish media and game room, two thoughtfully designed bedrooms, and a full bath with a deep soaking tub. A substantial unfinished storage and laundry area with walk-out
