Welcome to Tansy Cottages at Kinderhook Lake, a circa 1920s waterfront compound on the shores of Kinderhook Lake in Columbia County. With 81 feet of private frontage and a brand new boat dock, life here unfolds across three distinct tiers: a main living level, a bluestone terrace with an outdoor seasonal kitchen, and a beachfront dock level. Five structures in total, including the main cottage, three cabins, and a detached two-car garage, create a flexible compound suited for a retreat, a creative hideaway, or an income-producing vacation rental. The main cottage carries the vintage character of a 1920s lake house: tongue-and-groove ceilings, original light fixtures, and a refurbished vintage cast iron sink, brought fully up to date with central air, underground electrical, and modern finishes that add comfort without compromising character. The single-level layout opens into a generous dining area that flows into the updated kitchen, appointed with soapstone and quartz countertops. The living room leads to a summer sleeping porch with lake views, two bedrooms, a full bath, half bath, and a dedicated laundry room. Three cabins extend the compound across the property: a guest bedroom cabin; a dedicated studio suited to an office or artist's retreat; and a spa-style bathhouse cabin with a full bath, soaking tub, shower, and washer and dryer. The outdoor seasonal kitchen, equipped with a heater, sink, and stove, makes the bluestone terrace a natural gathering place through the warm months, with a cedar deck, front porch, and additional terracing stepping down toward the water.The shoreline is gentle and accessible, with an easy launch for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards and a new dock ready for a boat of your choice. Kinderhook Lake is a stocked freshwater lake with maintained water quality, popular for fishing, water skiing, and paddling. The property has no HOA, sits on a newly installed septic system, and is served by a brand new well pump installed in December 2025. The New York State Rail Trail runs directly alongside the property, offering year-round biking and walking from the front door.The surrounding region deepens the appeal through every season. The village shops, cafes, and restaurants of Kinderhook are ten minutes away, including Morning Bird Cafe, Isola, the Jack Shainman Gallery at The School, and Samascott Orchards. Main Street Valatie is five minutes, Hudson is twenty, and Albany is thirty, placing the property at an easy and central point within the Hudson Valley. The Amtrak station in Hu
