300-Acre Adirondack Escape

Set on 295.20 acres in upstate New York, this extraordinary estate is comprised of three contiguous parcels offering unmatched privacy, natural beauty, and sweeping views of Whiteface and Esther Mountains. The property is defined by two pristine lakes, Frenchs Brook flowing through, and miles of private hiking trails winding through an unlogged forest. Non-developable state land borders the eastern and southern perimeters, while the only barrier between the property and Whiteface Mountain is a stretch of untouched forest. Complementing the land are three residences that blend historic charm with modern amenities. The main home, a 1,700-sf residence originally built in 1838, offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a basement. Guest quarters include a 1,266-sf cabin with three bedrooms and one bath, as well as a 672-sf log cottage built in 2018, complete with two bedrooms, a bathroom, office, and living area. Additional structures include a two-car garage, a workshop, and a woodshed which provide excellent utility, while a whole-home generator ensures reliability and comfort in the mountains. Recreational opportunities are plentiful, with lakes and a brook offering excellent trout fishing, complemented by easy access—just ten minutes—to the renowned Ausable River, considered the top trout fishing river in the Northeast and home to The Hungry Trout outdoor activity resort. The property is perfect for hunting, cross-country skiing, and enjoying the outdoors in all seasons. A three-minute drive gets you to the entrance of Whiteface Mountain, while Whiteface Ski Resort is only fifteen minutes away. For water activities, Franklin Falls provides kayaking, boating, and fishing within five minutes. The location positions the property conveniently close to the region’s most notable towns and attractions. Lake Placid, a renowned resort destination, is just 25 minutes away, while the towns of Wilmington and Saranac Lake are only 10 and 30 minutes, respectively. Plattsburgh and its international airport can be reached in 45 minutes. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, a sporting paradise, or a multi-generational compound, this estate combines natural beauty, abundant recreation, and privacy in the heart of the Adirondacks.
