Private 37 Acre Lake Estate on 164 Acres - 11 BR

Nestled in the serene hills of Highland, NY, just 90 minutes from Manhattan, BLCK Creek offers a breathtaking retreat unlike any other. Situated on a 164-acre expanse with a private 37-acre lake, the family compound features stunning mountain views. The possibilities for adventure and relaxation are endless: take a hike or paddle across the lake in a kayak.

BLCK Creek consists of two distinct homes and two cottages, that are exclusively private per reservation. Black Bear Manor (the Main House), White Tail Lodge ( the Lake House), Fox Cottage, and Turtle Cove ( Please note that Turtle Cove is only available between April 1st to November 30th). Each adds its own unique charm to your experience.

Accommodations can be chosen based on your guest count. Starting with the main house, Black Bear Manor is the heart BLCK Creek - sleeping 12, with five spacious bedrooms, including luxurious bathrooms (three full bath and one 3/4 bath), ensuring privacy and comfort. Take advantage of culinary creativity in our gourmet chef’s kitchen or unwind in the expansive living space of the Family room. The property boasts new furniture and an updated, modern design that enhances its timeless elegance.

Upstairs via the grand staircase of Black Bear Manor, you will find the Loft perfect for entertaining family and friends or a quiet workspace. You will find board games, a pool table that converts to a ping pong table, and a Samsung TV. Take advantage of the sitting nook with a large window overlooking the 13-acre private lake with breathtaking views.

From the Main House, a stone path leads to White Tail Lodge – which sleeps up to seven guests, with one full bathroom, hosting a clawfoot tub and standing shower. This home offers a three-season sunroom and a full kitchen.
