Description

Some homes impress you. A very small number change the way you feel the moment you arrive. Passing through the gates of Casa del Paradiso, the outside world begins to disappear. The winding drive climbs through mature forest before revealing a mountaintop retreat unlike anything else in the Adirondacks. Fifty private acres. Complete tranquility. Endless mountain vistas stretching from Whiteface and the Sentinel Range across the High Peaks to Vermont's Green Mountains. Over four decades, this remarkable estate has evolved into far more than a luxury residence. It is a private sanctuary where architecture, craftsmanship, and landscape exist in complete harmony with their surroundings. Every path, every stone wall, every terrace, every building, and every view has been thoughtfully conceived to celebrate one extraordinary place. Casa del Paradiso exists in a category all its own. It represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and steward one of the Adirondacks' truly exceptional private sanctuaries for generations to come. The estate reveals itself through countless thoughtful details. Every element has been designed to enrich the experience of living here. Distinctive Adirondack Malone stone, handcrafted stained glass, and a custom solid cherry spiral staircase showcase exceptional craftsmanship. Designed for entertaining and quiet retreat alike, the estate blends remarkable architecture with spaces for gathering, recreation, and privacy. Estate Highlights • 50 gated acres w panoramic mountain views • Main residence and guest house linked by a 70' granite tunnel • Multiple residences for multi-generational living • Lighted tennis court • Treehouse pavilion • Private trail system, lean-to, pavilion, and fire pit • Distinctive Malone stone throughout • Custom stained glass and cherry spiral staircase • Two-story stone fireplace and dining hearth • Whole-estate standby generator • Heated tiled garages with floor drains • Gated outdoor spaces • Exceptional privacy
