Set back from River Road on 1.73 wooded acres, 506 River Road is a thoughtfully improved, approximately 1,200-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Adirondack home offering privacy, mountain views, and an elevated ridge setting just five miles from Main Street in Lake Placid.

The main level is designed for easy everyday living, with an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and natural woodwork creating a warm, relaxed interior. The living room centers around a propane stove, while the updated kitchen and dining area flow naturally into the surrounding spaces. A large sliding glass door opens directly onto the expansive deck, while double doors from the first-floor primary bedroom lead to a screened porch. Together, these spaces extend the living areas outdoors and take advantage of the ridge setting, mountain views, and cooling summer breezes.

The finished walk-out lower level provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, den, and flexible recreation space, giving owners and guests room to spread out while maintaining privacy between levels. A covered lower patio adds another usable outdoor space directly off this level.

Since purchasing the property, the current owners have addressed many of the home’s major systems and infrastructure. Improvements include a new roof, deep drilled well with upgraded water treatment system, paved driveway, and updates to the septic leach lines. A 10-by-20-foot Amish-built shed provides valuable additional storage.

Outside, mature trees provide privacy while the landscaped grounds, deck, screened porch, covered lower patio, and fire pit area offer several ways to take advantage of the property’s open mountain views. With ductless cooling, a flexible two-level layout, extensive outdoor living space, and significant improvements already completed, 506 River Road combines a private Adirondack setting between the mountains and river with convenient access to the amenities of Lake Placid.

The location also provides exceptional access to some of the area’s best outdoor recreation. World-class trout fishing on the West Branch of the Ausable River is just steps from the foot of the driveway, while River Road itself is part of a popular road-cycling loop with easy access to the Ironman Lake Placid bike course. Nearby access to the Jackrabbit Trail connects to mountain biking at Craig Wood and Scott’s Cobble, with the Lussi trails also easily reached from the property.
