About This Home

280 Mirror Lake Drive

Welcome to Bear's Den, an Adirondack retreat of rare distinction nestled along the shoreline of Mirror Lake. With 110 feet of private waterfront, a gently sloping lawn, and wide southern views of the High Peaks, this four-season sanctuary offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. It's one of the most refined and truly turn-key homes on Mirror Lake. Completely reimagined in 2017-2018, the residence combines timeless materials—cedar shake siding, native stonework, custom windows and doors—with thoughtful infrastructure upgrades including a standing seam metal roof, a timber-frame porch, and a stunning fir entry door. The paved driveway winds through professionally landscaped grounds to a welcoming front entry. Inside, the main level flows beautifully with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including three newly renovated bathrooms with radiant floor heating. The living and game rooms are anchored by impressive native stone fireplaces, now fitted with gas log sets for ease and warmth. A chef's kitchen offers granite countertops, a large center island, and top-tier appliances—all designed with entertaining in mind. Step outside to a spacious mahogany deck overlooking the lake, perfect for dining and relaxing outdoors. At the water's edge, a handcrafted stone wall with integrated steps leads to a private dock and swim area. Additional features include a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling system, spray foam insulation, a full-house generator, upgraded electrical service, and smart home automation for lighting, security, and water shutoff—offering peace of mind whether home or away. Located just a short stroll from downtown Lake Placid and the scenic Mirror Lake loop, Bear's Den is a rare offering: a private, energy-efficient lakefront home in impeccable condition, ready to be enjoyed from the moment you arrive.
