Description

Located in the peaceful Boot Bay section of Rainbow Lake, this turnkey Adirondack-style A-frame offers direct access to the 8 mile Rainbow Lake waterway which includes Rainbow Lake, Clear Pond, the Kushaqua Narrows and Lake Kushaqua. Rainbow Lake is one of the cleanest and most sought-after lakes in the Adirondack Park. Known for its spring-fed clarity, excellent paddling, and fishing, it features a largely state-protected shoreline, ensuring it won't be overdeveloped. The fully winterized 1,720 sq ft home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and an additional private loft space currently set up as a private bedroom/office. Designed for year-round living, the home includes warm pine finishes, a cozy stone fireplace, Anderson windows, and custom wood cabinetry. A spacious lakeside deck spans the full length of the home, and the second-floor primary suite features a private balcony with lake views. A separate detached garage includes an unfinished upper level with water views ideal for a future guest suite, studio, bunk room, or short-term rental. Heating is provided by electric baseboards and a propane Monitor unit, with an automatic whole-house generator for backup if needed. A heated crawl space, insulated/wrapped pipes, UV well filtration system, and heated roof coils prevent winter issues. Sold fully furnished and with a 2012 Campion Bowrider Motorboat specifically chosen to navigate through to adjoining lakes. Sale will include: 4 kayaks, an aluminum Jon boat, life jackets, Weber outdoor grill, snow blower; tools, portable AC units, ladders, garden gear, furnishings for every room, cookware, linens, Adirondack chairs, and much more. Conveniently located: 15 min to Saranac Lake Village & Adirondack Medical Center, 20 min to Lake Clear Airport, 30 min to Lake Placid, 1 hr to Plattsburgh International, 2 hrs Montreal & Burlington.
