Adirondack mountain retreat just minutes from Lake George and Gore Mountain -- an Airbnb, STR opportunity, or private getaway. This unique 4 BR/2.5 bath contemporary home sits in quiet seclusion atop a beautifully landscaped hill, surrounded by perennial gardens and young fruit trees, with sweeping mountain views from a massive wraparound deck, recently built to last for years. Inside, a wood-burning FP adds warmth on cool nights, and a large custom kitchen with first-floor laundry opens onto a three large common rooms area -- ideal for hosting groups or guests. High-speed fiber optic internet, capable of supporting many users at once, makes this property equally suited for remote work or hosting. The property abuts woodland on most sides, offering exceptional privacy, with no HOA and plenty of room on the lot to grow, expand, or add amenities -- including ample space for gardening with great sun exposure. Available furnished for a true turnkey opportunity. Outside, the location can't be beat: swim, fish, and hike across 4,000 acres of state land, Garnet Lake just 5 miles away, with abundant hiking and fishing throughout the Adirondacks, or ski and snowboard at state-owned (i.e., forever reasonably priced) Gore Mountain in under 20 minutes. Snowmobile enthusiasts will also love easy access to Speculator, NY's extensive trail network. Lake George's restaurants, shops, and summer events are also a short drive away, with Bolton Landing and North Creek also a short drive away. Nettle Meadow animal sanctuary and artisan cheese maker (sold at Whole Foods throughout NY) down the road. With strong year-round appeal -- summer lake access, fall foliage, and winter skiing all within reach -- and Warren County's permissive STR regulations, this property offers excellent potential as a home, short-term rental investment, or four-season vacation home. Easily accessible by car, with bus service from NYC to Warrensburg and Amtrak service to Ft. Edward.
