Set along the pristine shores of private Friends Lake in the southeastern Adirondacks, this extraordinary year-round Camp is a rare legacy estate where timeless Adirondack architecture meets refined luxury.
Thoughtfully designed and built by its current owners, the 10,000 plus square-foot residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship and authentic Adirondack character. Antique doors reclaimed from the historic Sagamore Hotel, hand-selected natural materials, and artisan finishes create a home rich in history and warmth. Offering seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and three half baths, the camp is designed to welcome generations of family and friends. The lower walk out level offers an open great room with a wet bar, wine room, movie theatre and sauna.
Two separate living wings, connected by a gracious hallway, provide the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy for hosting family and guests. Expansive gathering rooms, impressive stone fireplaces, and walls of windows frame spectacular lake views while seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Granite walkways meander through perennial gardens to the shoreline, where a classic Adirondack boathouse and a traditional lakeside lean-to invite endless days on the water and evenings around the campfire.
Friends Lake is one of the Adirondacks' hidden gems--a crystal-clear, spring-fed lake of approximately 450 acres known for its peaceful setting and uncrowded shoreline. Boating, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, fishing, and swimming define the summer months, while fall brings vibrant foliage and winter offers snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and nearby downhill skiing.
Ideally located, the property is just minutes from Gore Mountain, the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness, and the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, with the attractions of Lake George. The Adirondack High Peaks and the Olympic Village of Lake Placid are an hour away.
Property is coming mostly furnished. Exclusion list will be avail. upon request.
