Nestled below Mount Whitney, just beyond Pulpit Rock, this remarkable 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Adirondack custom home rests on 1.6 acres with 163 feet of pristine shoreline along Lake Placid. Accessible year-round via a private road, the property offers sweeping views across Shelter Strait, where golden and pink hues illuminate the sky during spectacular sunsets over the McKenzie Mountain Range.
Every room in the house is designed to capture the stunning surroundings, with views of the lake and mountains visible throughout. The main house boasts an airy, open-concept design with soaring vaulted ceilings that showcase masterful post-and-beam craftsmanship, centered around an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. A serene screened porch invites you to unwind while taking in the peaceful lake views. Additional features include a main-level bedroom suite complete with its own fireplace, four walk-out lower-level bedrooms with lake views, and a 2-car garage conveniently connected by a walkway.
Enjoy endless lakefront activities at the 3-slip boathouse, featuring a newly refinished deck and an upper-level game room, perfect for entertaining.
This Adirondack estate is an extraordinary offering—a rare chance to own a home on Lake Placid with expansive westward views, unmatched in beauty and exclusivity.
