Property Description

Perched atop Bassett Mountain in the heart of the Adirondack High Peaks, this extraordinary 12,000+ square foot mountaintop estate offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the most unique private residences in the Northeast. Set on approximately 60 private acres, the property features sweeping panoramic views of Whiteface Mountain and the surrounding High Peaks--views that simply cannot be replicated today due to current Adirondack Park Agency restrictions. Thoughtfully designed and constructed with a blend of classic Adirondack craftsmanship and modern luxury, the residence offers expansive living and entertaining spaces, multiple guest accommodations, and a level of privacy rarely found in today's market. The scale, elevation, and positioning of this home create an unparalleled setting for a private retreat, family compound, or legacy estate. Located just minutes from Whiteface Mountain and within easy reach of Lake Placid, the property provides convenient access to world-class skiing, hiking, fly fishing, and year-round outdoor recreation, while remaining within driving distance of New York City, Boston, and Montreal. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly irreplaceable mountaintop estate in one of the most sought-after destinations in the Northeast.
