About this property

Nestled along the pristine shores of Lake Pleasant and encompassing more than four private acres, this extraordinary waterfront estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most captivating properties. Approached by a scenic drive through towering pines, white birch, and hemlock trees, the setting is as impressive as the home itself, immediately conveying the privacy, beauty, and timeless appeal that define this remarkable retreat. Originally built in the early 1900s, the residence seamlessly blends historic Adirondack charm with thoughtful modern updates. A welcoming entry foyer introduces the home's warm character and inviting atmosphere, while expansive windows throughout capture stunning views of the lake and surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen, updated approximately eight years ago and featuring double ovens, an electric range, and attractive newer countertops. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a spacious dining area designed for memorable family gatherings, holiday celebrations, and entertaining on a grand scale. Just off the dining area is a convenient laundry space, adding comfort and functionality to everyday living. The magnificent living room serves as the centerpiece of the home, showcasing soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and a loft overlooking both the living space and the sparkling waters of Lake Pleasant. Adjacent to the main living area, a charming card room provides an intimate setting to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy peaceful waterfront views. The home offers three bedrooms and three baths, including a luxurious first-floor primary suite perfectly positioned to take advantage of the lakefront setting. Large windows frame breathtaking water views, while a private bath and direct access to a lakeside porch create a true retreat. A second first-floor guest bedroom also enjoys expansive lake views, while the third bedroom is situated on the second level, offering privacy and comfort for family and visitors. A private guest bath and an additional full bath near the kitchen provide convenience for residents and guests alike. Throughout the home, abundant closets and storage areas reflect thoughtful design. Hardwood floors, ceramic tile, and carpeting add warmth and character, while new carpeting in the primary bedroom enhances comfort. Beneath the home, a poured concrete crawl space provides excellent utility and storage potential. The septic system was replaced this year, offering peace of mind for years to come. Outdoor living is every bit as exceptional as the interior. Beautiful stonework accents the front entrance, while a large, covered porch stretches across the front of the home, inviting you to relax and take in the tranquil surroundings. Numerous flower gardens and a large gazebo enhance the beautifully maintained grounds, and a ramp provides convenient access to the residence. The shoreline is truly extraordinary, offering more than 295 feet of private frontage on Lake Pleasant. A large sandy beach, a smaller private beach area, and a picturesque rock beach create multiple places to enjoy the water. The remnants of a historic boathouse provide an ideal location to dock your boat, which is included with the sale. Whether you're swimming, boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the spectacular Adirondack scenery, this property delivers an unmatched waterfront lifestyle. Additional features include a paved driveway, one-car garage, woodshed, and lean-to style storage building. Every aspect of this exceptional property has been carefully maintained, creating a legacy estate that is ready to be enjoyed for generations. Rarely does a waterfront offering combine historic character, modern comfort, expansive acreage, and nearly 300 feet of Lake Pleasant shoreline. This is more than a home. It is a private Adirondack sanctuary where unforgettable memories are waiting to be made.

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
