Description

Back Bay Camp offers an exceptional waterfront retreat on the scenic shores of Upper Saranac Lake, combining historic Adirondack charm with modern luxury. Nestled on 340 feet of pristine lakefront with a sandy bottom, this unique property presents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored 1920s camp, fully equipped with air conditioning, high-end finishes, and unobstructed views. The main residence features four fireplaces, a contemporary kitchen with premium appliances, six bedrooms, an ante or adjoining room, four full bathrooms, one half bathroom, a game room, and a cozy study, making it perfect for family living and entertaining. Complementing the main house is an iconic two-level Adirondack boat house, offering spectacular vistas, a private deck, a large stone fireplace, a kitchenette, a half bath, and space for watercraft storage, including slips for two boats and space for kayaks and more. For outdoor enthusiasts, Back Bay Camp, boast a clay tennis court, providing for play on a clay rather than on an asphalt surface, along with a recently renovated outdoor kitchen that overlooks the lake--ideal for summer gatherings and cookouts. The property's convenient location on well-maintained, year-round access roads (paved or black-top roads maintained by the state and, in front of the house, by the county) provides easy access in any season, just 7 miles from Saranac Lake Airport, connecting travelers seamlessly to Boston and New York City. In winter, enjoy cross-country skiing, ice skating at local civic centers, downhill skiing at Whiteface Mountain, and skating on historic rinks. The camp's proximity to golf courses, local attractions, and outdoor adventures makes it an ideal year-round retreat for nature lovers and outdoor sports enthusiasts alike.
