Adirondack Real Estate

Bordered by state land on two sides, this house and 16 acres is an off-grid property with built no neighbors, and one of the coolest on the Long Lake tax map, on or off market - a paradise for those who love woods and waters. It's on a plowed paved road only ten minutes from town. The house itself is a project part way through - gutted with good bones and foundation and siding. The seller has regretfully realized he does not have the wherewithal to complete the project with his own hands. However, the gutting and hauling away really aren't reflected in the price; they're a bonus to the buyer. The house is a three bedroom, two bathroom, one and a half story. The walk-out basement has plenty of work space. There's a wood stove there with a stainless chimney. There's a 2023, professionally installed propane generator. There are four outbuildings: a power shed, two pole barns, and one funky cabin up in the woods. Very fast internet can be installed. Water is from a well. The driveway's good year-round. For snowmobilers, the North Point Road is the connector between Long Lake and Raquette Lake and beyond. At the house, the road is barely noticeable. What you do notice, at least at first, is the constant sound of Buttermilk Falls in the distance. Across the road, follow the Raquette River upstream, and you'll come to Forked Lake and then Raquette Lake, or downstream to Long Lake and beyond - see endless canoeing. Or from the house again, head straight back into your woods, then no one's woods for miles: South Pond, Helm's Pond, Upper and Lower Sargents Ponds, Pine Brook, the wild shores of Raquette Lake, Little Blue Mountian, Peaked Mountain, Castle Rock. These and more are all accessible through your state woods without ever crossing a road. It would be hard to imagine a better situation or a better place to own 16 acres and independence. Come see what come see what this property has to offer - the woods and waters of Long Lake.
