Set on 8.73 exceptional acres just minutes from Lake Placid's Olympic Village, this 3,200-square-foot Adirondack retreat offers an incredible combination of comfort, privacy, and direct access to the outdoors. Step from the front porch and follow a trail to deeded access on Alford Pond, perfect for fishing and paddling, or head out for a hike toward Seymour Mountain. Three trailheads right on the property connect to an extensive network for hiking, biking, cross-country and backcountry skiing, and snowshoeing, with routes leading to the Northville-Placid and Pine Pond Trails and three mountain summits. The expansive grounds are just as special, with fields of wildflowers, wild blueberry and raspberry bushes, fruit trees, and maples. The property backs directly to forever-protected State Land, creating an exceptional sense of privacy and an untouched natural backdrop. After a day of adventure, unwind with a book on the screened-in porch's daybed or relax on the spacious deck. Inside, the dramatic great room features passive-solar southern exposure, a soaring 33-foot vaulted ceiling, and an impressive stone fireplace that anchors the space. The open-concept layout flows into a generous dining area and chef's kitchen featuring all-new appliances, expansive granite countertops with an open-concept granite island and radiant in-floor heat. There is also a main level bedroom currently being used as a den, and a half bath. Upstairs, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 newly renovated bathrooms, including a spa-inspired primary suite. The walkout lower level, complete with a private entrance, offers a fifth bedroom, an additional bathroom, and flexible open space ideal for guests, recreation, or a home office. A dedicated mudroom with built-in cubbies and a ski-tuning bench keeps outdoor gear organized and ready for the next adventure. Property being offered mostly furnished.
