First time offered in over 50 years
"Some homes are built. Others become part of a family's story."

There's simply nothing else like Cub Cliffs on Candlewood Lake.
Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, this extraordinary waterfront retreat has been treasured by the same family for generations. Perched atop dramatic cliffs with commanding southwestern views, Cub Cliffs earned its name from both its remarkable setting and the family's beloved Piper Cub seaplane—"the little yellow plane"—once moored at the property's dock.

Today, this Sherman waterfront estate awaits its next chapter.

Designed in the 1960s as a thoughtfully engineered passive solar home, Cub Cliffs was decades ahead of its time. Expansive walls of glass welcome winter sunshine deep into the living spaces, while generous roof overhangs naturally shade the home during summer months. Nearly every room captures breathtaking panoramic views across Candlewood Lake, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature.

Inside, timeless craftsmanship defines every space. Imported Brazilian ironwood doors, dramatic granite walls, two impressive stone fireplaces, heart of redwood siding and decking, and imported Spanish porcelain tile speak to a level of quality rarely found today. Every detail was carefully selected, creating a home with warmth, character, and enduring architectural significance.

Living as a five bedroom and three full bath space, the flexible floor plan comfortably accommodates family gatherings and weekend guests alike. The updated kitchen features rich maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and modern conveniences while maintaining the home's original character. A dedicated office or den with woodstove provides the perfect retreat for working remotely or relaxing with a book.

The walk-out lower level expands the living space with a spectacular Recreation Room anchored by massive two-foot-thick stone walls, expansive lake-facing windows, a second stone fireplace, and a private guest suite with full bath—ideal for extended family or visitors.

Outside, the setting is simply unforgettable.

A winding path meanders through mature rhododendrons, daylilies, and natural woodland and rock gardens to 310 feet of direct waterfront. Enjoy a permanent dock with deep-water boating, a concrete waterfront platform for easy swimming, fishing, paddleboarding or launching your kayak, and an expansive lakefront lawn perfect for entertaining, lawn games, or quiet evenings watching spectacular sunsets paint the western sky.

Situated on 1.77 private acres within Candlewood Lake Estates, residents enjoy exclusive access to four private community beaches—two on pristine Green Pond and two on Candlewood Lake—as well as Sherman's beautiful public town beach.

Known for its exceptionally low property taxes, scenic beauty, and relaxed lake lifestyle, Sherman offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living while remaining just 75 miles from New York City with convenient access to Westchester County.

Cub Cliffs presents a rare opportunity to restore and personalize one of Candlewood Lake's truly unique waterfront homes. The setting, architecture, privacy, and views simply cannot be recreated.
