The property is one of three that Platinum has scheduled for luxury auction® sale in October, following a four-property sales schedule in September. The September auctions include another upstate NY property on Saranac Lake, selling on September 23. An additional property on Saranac Lake that Platinum offered in late August is currently pending sale.
"Bidders have shown a robust appetite for our luxury auctions in the Adirondacks region, and this property should be no exception," stated Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's founder and president. "I've toured very many properties in the marketplace over the years, and I have never seen one with such beautiful, pristine grounds and unobstructed views," he added. "Nothing else even comes close."
Lesnock said he has known the owners of the property for nearly 12 years, and they have an uncanny knack for identifying and cultivating prized real estate. "I have never seen a property they have owned that did not have a certain 'Wow Factor' that made it uniquely special."
The +295-acre assemblage is conveniently accessible via a private, tree-shaded entry just off Route 48, which suddenly opens to reveal an immense, sprawling green space of neatly manicured lawns surrounded by mature foliage and abundant pines. State-owned/preserved lands border the property on the east and south, adding protection against future, neighboring development.
The owners have been careful stewards of the land, avoiding foresting/logging and excess development. Foresting/logging is permitted on the property, however, and the land can also be subdivided into 8.5-acre parcels, giving the property two substantial economic uses beyond that of a private, residential retreat.
The property has two lakes, which the owners have stocked with bass and rainbow trout in previous years. Frenchs Brook, excellent for trout fishing, also runs approx. three-quarters of a mile through the grounds. One of the two lakes feeds into the brook via a small damn.
Three living structures are currently on the property: a 1,700-sf home (2 bds/2 bths), 1,266-sf guest cabin (3 bds/1 bath) and a 672-sf cottage (2 bds/1 bth), plus a two-vehicle garage, workshop and shed. The cottage, which is currently outfitted as an office suite, was built in 2018, while the main house and guest cabin were originally built in 1838 and 1955, respectively, and later renovated. All living structures are designed in the rustic, Adirondacks style, with upgraded, modern amenities.
Grounds also include a firepit lounge, miles of cleared walking trails and forest paths, and plenty of room to land a helicopter, if one is so inclined. The property is just 18 miles from Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, and within a 90-min drive of Saratoga Springs.
Property previews are available by daily appointment through October 8, and may be scheduled by contacting Platinum's project manager, Brett Ryan, at 800.997.4235. Due diligence documents, photos and video of the property are also located online at NewYorkLuxuryAuction.com.
