Rare opportunity: a 30-acre Saranac River waterfront retreat in the heart of the Adirondacks, minutes from the Village center of Saranac Lake. This remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse offers hardwood floors throughout, a mudroom entry, dining room, kitchen with adjoining pantry, bright living room, and a private primary suite with sitting room/office, two closets, and en-suite bath. Attached two-car garage.
The land is the standout feature. This Adirondack riverfront property spans both banks of the Saranac River with over 1,200 feet of frontage and pond access, and borders forever-wild Adirondack Park land for maximum privacy. The river runs wide and calm at this stretch -- excellent for paddling, kayaking, and fishing. Open pastures with rich, black soil offer prime potential for gardening, farming, or grazing, while miles of established hiking trails wind through mature hard and softwood forest and along the riverbank.
A rare bonus: a standalone guest cabin, separate from the main residence, already substantially finished -- in-floor heat, poured concrete slab, tankless hot water heater, electrical service, new windows and sliding glass doors, sheetrock, paint, and trim all complete. Kitchen and bathroom plumbing are already roughed in through the slab, offering excellent guest house, in-law suite, or short-term rental potential.
