Property Description
A rare one-of-a-kind Adirondack sanctuary set on more than eight acres of private, trailed woodland, this exceptional retreat offers three beautifully crafted living spaces surrounded by pavilions, bridges, walkways, and natural water features. Designed for those who value privacy, nature, refined rustic living, and excellent income potential, the property blends architectural charm with immersive outdoor experiences. At the heart of the property stands the five-bedroom 2 1/2 bath main residence, with multiple decks and overlooks that frame the forest canopy and stream below. Nearby, the garage and workshop support every hobby and project, while the two-bedroom apartment above provides elevated views, additional living space, or a perfect area for an office or studio. A separate 4 season, one-bedroom cottage completes the trio--perfect for guests seeking serenity and seclusion. Across the grounds, handcrafted details invite exploration: pavilions tucked into the trees, bridges crossing the stream bed, a picturesque waterfall, and numerous overlooks ideal for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. Children delight in plentiful play areas, multiple trails, and a cozy playhouse, while wildlife moves freely through the acreage. With a proven track record as a short-term rental with a 5-star overall rating, this property offers exceptional income potential alongside its residential appeal. Minutes from skiing, hiking, rafting, and lake beaches, it stands as a premier Adirondack compound--private, versatile, and unforgettable.
