About this property

Nestled along the pristine shores of Lake Pleasant and encompassing more than four private acres, this extraordinary waterfront estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most captivating properties. Approached by a scenic drive through towering pines, white birch, and hemlock trees, the setting is as impressive as the home itself, immediately conveying the privacy, beauty, and timeless appeal that define this remarkable retreat. Originally built in the early 1900s, the residence seamlessly blends historic Adirondack charm with thoughtful modern updates. A welcoming entry foyer introduces the home's warm character and inviting atmosphere, while expansive windows throughout capture stunning views of the lake and surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen, updated approximately eight years ago and featuring double ovens, an electric range, and attractive newer countertops. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a spacious dining area designed for memorable family gatherings, holiday celebrations, and entertaining on a grand scale. Just off the dining area is a convenient laundry space, adding comfort and functionality to everyday living. The magnificent living room serves as the centerpiece of the home, showcasing soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and a loft overlooking both the living space and the sparkling waters of Lake Pleasant. Adjacent to the main living area, a charming card room provides an intimate setting to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy peaceful waterfront views. The home offers three bedrooms and three baths, including a luxurious first-floor primary suite perfectly positioned to take advantage of the lakefront setting. Large windows frame breathtaking water views, while a private bath and direct access to a lakeside porch create a true retreat. A second first-floor guest bedroom also enjoys expansive lake views, while the third bedroom is situated on the second level, offering privacy and comfort for family and visitors. A private guest bath and an additional full bath near the kitchen provide convenience for residents and guests alike. Throughout the home, abundant closets and storage areas reflect thoughtful design. Hardwood floors, ceramic tile, and carpeting add warmth and character, while new carpeting in the primary bedroom enhances comfort. Beneath the home, a poured concrete crawl space provides excellent utility and storage potential. The septic system was replaced this year, offering peace of mind for years to come. Outdoor living is every bit as exceptional as the interior. Beautiful stonework accents the front entrance, while a large, covered porch stretches across the front of the home, inviting you to relax and take in the tranquil surroundings. Numerous flower gardens and a large gazebo enhance the beautifully maintained grounds, and a ramp provides convenient access to the residence. The shoreline is truly extraordinary, offering more than 295 feet of private frontage on Lake Pleasant. A large sandy beach, a smaller private beach area, and a picturesque rock beach create multiple places to enjoy the water. The remnants of a historic boathouse provide an ideal location to dock your boat, which is included with the sale. Whether you're swimming, boating, fishing, or simply enjoying the spectacular Adirondack scenery, this property delivers an unmatched waterfront lifestyle. Additional features include a paved driveway, one-car garage, woodshed, and lean-to style storage building. Every aspect of this exceptional property has been carefully maintained, creating a legacy estate that is ready to be enjoyed for generations. Rarely does a waterfront offering combine historic character, modern comfort, expansive acreage, and nearly 300 feet of Lake Pleasant shoreline. This is more than a home. It is a private Adirondack sanctuary where unforgettable memories are waiting to be made.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
