Property Description
Set back from the top of Easy Street in Paul Smiths, this custom-built ranch home sits on 8.7 thoughtfully managed acres, bordering state land. This versatile property provides comfortable year-round living with remarkable flexibility for work, recreation, and storage. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features 3000 square feet of living space; a mostly finished lower level with a half-bath awaits your finishing touches. Outdoor living shines with 1,500 square feet of decking, a screened porch with a brand-new hot tub, and a secluded back deck with beautiful southern exposure and views. A fenced backyard includes a two-level deck, an outdoor shower, and an above-ground pool. An attached, heated 2.5-bay garage adds nearly 1,000 square feet of space, while a separate 1,400-square-foot heated shop offers two large work areas, each with its own bay, utility room, and half-bath. Above the shop, a one-bedroom apartment provides comfortable guest quarters or rental income potential. Three covered carports, a wood shed, a storage shed, and a hunter's cabin with power and a wood stove complete the setup. Recent upgrades include brand-new hardwood flooring, new interior paint, high-efficiency propane boilers, underground utilities, a 500-foot-deep drilled well, a brand-new pool liner, and generator transfer switches for both the home and the shop. The grounds feature landscaped gardens, open meadows, food plots, and forested trails. Nearby outdoor pursuits abound. Whether you enjoy skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, or sunny days on the water, adventure is just minutes away. This property is ideal for a wide array of uses--from a private home compound to a base for a small business, woodworking shop, or outdoor lifestyle.
