Property Description

A Rare Opportunity to Own One of Lake Placid’s Most Iconic Waterfront Properties.

This quintessential 1920’s Adirondack compound is set on 2.35 acres with 225 feet of pristine shoreline, offering absolute privacy and uninterrupted vistas. Backing up to Forever Wild state land, the property’s four buildings are thoughtfully placed to capture sweeping views of Shelter Strait, the Southern Range, and the commanding summit of Whiteface Mountain.

The main residence, a six-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home of nearly 3,700 square feet, sits just feet from the water’s edge. Its expansive lakeside deck is ideal for sun-soaked afternoons or alfresco dining, while a screened porch opens into a classic Adirondack great room with Douglas fir beadboard, maple hardwood floors, and a striking cobblestone fireplace. The formal dining room offers its own fireplace, and the chef’s kitchen features a gas range, stainless appliances, functional island, and a screened-in outdoor grilling station—perfect for summer evenings.

Upstairs, three of the bedrooms seem to float above the water, with sunlight and serene lake views pouring through every window. The primary suite includes a fireplace, and all bedrooms are complemented by luxuriously renovated bathrooms and custom furnishings.

Two guest cabins provide additional accommodations:

• Cabin One: Four bedrooms, one bath, and a screened-in porch.
• Cabin Two: One bedroom, one bath, a kitchenette, and oversized living area.

At the shoreline, an exceptional three-slip boathouse stands as a testament to craftsmanship and Adirondack history. With current regulations, boathouses of this size and upper-level finished space cannot be recreated. The lower level offers three deep-water slips, built-in storage for kayaks, paddleboards, and gear, and room for additional boats to dock along the exterior. The upper level is a flexible, open space with a deck that frames Whiteface Mountain perfectly.

The grounds are beautifully landscaped with native wildflowers, manicured lawns, and winding paths leading to outdoor spaces designed for gathering—like the waterfront firepit, where evenings end with the warmth of a crackling fire reflected on the lake.

This is more than a home. It’s a generational legacy property on the famous West Shore and accessible only by boat, offering unmatched privacy and a front-row seat to the beauty of Lake Placid.
