Description

A truly unique Adirondack opportunity in Ray Brook, ideally positioned between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. This special 1.28-acre property features an eco-friendly, Scandinavian-inspired two-bedroom 'small house,' plus a separate one-bedroom Tiny House on Wheels (THOW), included with the property. Recognized as one of the 'Top Ten Most Unique Places to Stay in the Adirondacks,' this distinctive property offers character, versatility, privacy, and convenient access to everything the region has to offer. Designed and built by the owners with sustainability in mind, the bright and efficient two-bedroom cottage combines thoughtful design with comfortable, easy living. Radiant-heated concrete floors provide warmth throughout the winter while naturally helping keep the home cool during the summer. Additional features include a screened-in porch off the primary bedroom, stackable washer and dryer, air-conditioning unit, and a cozy fireplace. Outside, mature trees create a peaceful and private setting with a spacious backyard, privacy fencing, and inviting fire pit--perfect for relaxing after a day of Adirondack adventure. The property's environmentally conscious design extends well beyond the home itself. Building materials and construction practices were carefully selected with sustainability and responsible use of natural resources in mind. The landscape incorporates clover, micro-clover, eco-grass, native wildflowers, milkweed, and dandelions. All are good for the soil, and do not require watering. The separate one-bedroom Tiny House on Wheels adds another dimension to this already unusual offering and provides flexible additional space. The property places hiking, skiing, paddling, dining, shopping, and countless four-season recreational opportunities within easy reach. Modern, environmentally conscious, private, and unmistakably Adirondack--this one-of-a-kind Ray Brook property is ready for its next chapter and is being offered turnkey.
