Description

Welcome to Antler Ridge — A Distinctive Waterfront Estate on Lake Placid Set on 1.5 private acres with 160 feet of shoreline, Antler Ridge is a newly reimagined lakefront sanctuary offering westward views over Shelter Strait and unforgettable sunsets behind the McKenzie Mountain Range. Accessible year-round via a quiet private road, this legacy property blends classic Adirondack architecture with modern comfort and luxury. Rebuilt in 2024 with meticulous attention to detail, the 5,450 sq ft home features five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and dramatic interior finishes, including vaulted ceilings with reclaimed beams, poplar bark siding from North Carolina, and handcrafted yellow birch railings. Expansive windows frame panoramic lake and mountain views, while a remote-controlled screen system transforms the 720 sq ft porch for any occasion. The open-concept great room flows into a chef's kitchen with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island perfect for gathering. The showpiece primary bath is clad in gemstone-style granite and features soaring ceilings and spa-level finishes. A spacious lakeside deck extends the living space outdoors, while the fully remodeled boathouse includes two covered slips and a stunning second-story deck—an ideal setting for enjoying Lake Placid's famous sunsets. Direct lake access offers four-season recreation right from your doorstep. Additional features include central air, a full-house generator, spray foam insulation, new mechanicals, a drilled well, buried propane tank, and updated septic system. Offered fully furnished, Antler Ridge is a rare turn-key estate in one of the Adirondack Park's most iconic waterfront locations.
