New Construction on 5+ Acres with Access to a Private 26-Acre Lake

Summer camp, all grown up.

A new construction release from Beyond the Black Box, Timber Lake is a contemporary residence inspired by the relaxed optimism of classic midcentury lake houses. The home balances modern architecture with natural materials, handcrafted details, and a warm, collected aesthetic that feels established from day one.

Arriving beneath a generous roofline, a welcoming entry opens to soaring ceilings and an expansive great room anchored by a sunken conversation area that invites you to slow down. The kitchen was designed to gather and cook, featuring customized cabinetry, sculptural lighting, stone surfaces, and a generous island equally suited to everyday living and effortless entertaining.

The private primary suite includes a detailed bath, walk-in closet, and attached den. Additional bedrooms, two guest baths, and a flexible second den provide space for guests, remote work, or long weekends with family and friends. The walk-out ground level extends the home’s living space, offering room for guests, recreation, media, or quiet weekends at home.

Outside, the home was thoughtfully positioned to preserve both privacy and the surrounding landscape. A spacious rear deck, fire pit, outdoor shower, and woodland trail leading toward the lake make outdoor living an effortless extension of the home.

At the heart of Timber Lake Estates is an approximately 26-acre private spring-fed lake with a residents-only beach, dock, and swimming area. Kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, fishing, walking, cycling, and winter skating are all part of everyday life, while mature trees preserve an uncommon sense of privacy.

Located approximately two hours from New York City, with NJ Transit service in Port Jervis just 30 minutes away, Timber Lake sits at the center of a quietly emerging pocket of the Catskills where artists, designers, chefs, and makers are reshaping the region without losing what made people fall in love with it in the first place. Barryville, Narrowsburg, hiking trails, farmers markets, destination dining, independent shops, and a growing creative community are all just moments away.
