    What the owner loves about this home
    Country Cousins Ranch – A Rare Piece of Adirondack History! Own an extraordinary piece of Adirondack history at Country Cousins Ranch, a property once held by two remarkable figures: Melvil Dewey—founder of the Lake Placid Club, creator of the Dewey Decimal System, and founder of what became Columbia University’s School of Library Science—and Gerrit Smith, the famed abolitionist who supported John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry. Located on highly desirable Averyville Lane in Lake Placid, NY, this property places you at the heart of the Olympic Region. Enjoy world-class downhill and cross-country skiing, ice skating, sledding, golf, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, waterskiing, hiking the High Peaks, boating, fishing, camping, shopping, and dining. Even Montreal, a renowned international city, is less than two hours away. This unique property is grandfathered for uses rarely permitted in this neighborhood—allowing horses, hobby farming, or homesteading. It also retains historic commercial-use rights, previously home to Country Cousins Greeting Cards and currently Lake Placid Sports Team Outfitters. With semi-wooded surroundings and access from both Averyville Lane and Holly Hill Road, it offers the perfect blend of privacy and community.
