Built in 1927, when the Adirondacks were still a rugged wilderness and Keene Valley little more than a clearing in the trees, Roaring Brook Cabin has remained largely unchanged as the world around it evolved. While the High Peaks drew explorers and Keene Valley quietly became a cherished destination, this cabin held onto its original spirit, simple, timeless, and deeply connected to the land. Now, for the first time in a century, it's ready to begin a new chapter.
Set on approximately one and a half acres, the property enjoys a commanding position at the base of Giant of the Valley, with views that stretch upward toward Snow and outward across the village to the Sentinel Range. A short walk or golf cart ride from the Ausable Club circle, it offers rare proximity to the Ausable Club and hiking beyond the gate while still possessing a deep sense of privacy.
The original cabins remain, imbued with history and rustic charm. Just above them lies a remarkable building site, an ideal perch for a future home or retreat, with panoramic views and an unmatched connection to the surrounding peaks. Once a seasonal base for outdoor programs, including service to the Adirondack Trail Improvement Society in the mid 20th century, Roaring Brook Cabin retains its potential as a gathering place, whether for family, community, or quiet reflection.
A rare opportunity to reimagine a historic Adirondack homestead in one of the region's most iconic settings.
