Overlooking a pond and rolling pastures sits this unique Adirondack Ranch featuring an updated 3-bedroom home, 2 barns and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The open concept 3-bedroom, 2-bath home mixes rustic character with modern updates. The large kitchen and great room feature a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, custom tile flooring and large windows with beautiful views. The unique custom live-edge countertop bar expands on the character with a reflection of the rugged character of the Adirondacks. The kitchen includes new stainless steel finish appliances. The first-floor primary suite includes a large sun porch and beautiful custom bathroom with river rock tile shower. Upstairs is a full bath with custom tile, 2 bedrooms and an office. Modern updates include an energy-efficient propane furnace, radiant in-floor heat, and a reinforced field stone foundation. The two 1800’s era barns feature post and beam construction, which reflects the craftsmanship of the time. The larger Hay Barn has 200-amp service. The Bunkhouse Barn with its updated 2x 8 wood floor is the perfect location for small gatherings or events. Just below the barns is the APA-approved pond, which includes a dry hydrant for the fire department. The property is generally flat with some very gentle rolling hills that slope up towards the back of the property from the pond, with an elevation gain of 30-40 feet. There are over 5 acres of fenced pastures, including 3 run-in sheds providing shelter for horses or other animals. Unique western-style Jack Fence adds to the character of the ranch. The professionally designed outdoor riding arena provides the perfect setting for riding, lessons or training horses. Gates and corral chutes make it easy to move animals from pasture to pasture. There are several small blocks of timber, roughly 12 acres in size, featuring a mixture of soft and hardwoods, dominated by hemlock, white pine, birch and some maple. Ferns cover the forest floor, adding a feeling of tranquility while providing excellent cover for wildlife. Hunters take notice, there is consistent deer, bear and turkey sign throughout the property, including trails and historical buck rubs showing consistent use. Several nice racks hanging in the barn are a testament to the quality of deer in the area. While taking photos, numerous deer were seen on the property. For those looking for additional hunting and outdoor opportunities, the nearby 125,000-acre Wilcox Lake Wild Forest features the largest contiguous block of land in the Adirondack Park. Enjoy some of the best skiing and riding in the Northeast just 20 minutes away at Gore Mountain Ski Resort, one of the premier ski resorts in NYS. With close proximity to Gore Mountain, the Hudson River and Lake George, the property offers incredible Airbnb opportunities, and the barns could be the perfect location for events or a rustic barn wedding set against the backdrop of the pastures and mountains. From sunrises over Moose Mountain to the pond and pastures framed by Number Nine Mountain, the views from the property are stunning.
