    What's special

    Rare privacyBig sky viewsUnmatched peace and seclusionSloping meadows ridgesImmersive natural beauty
    Let the big sky views and boundless sense of space welcome you to this premier 6 acre parcel within Far Horizon - a 600 acre private preserve unlike anything else in the Adirondack Park. With minimal ownership and forever wild views stretching to the southern High Peaks, this exceptional homesite offers rare privacy and immersive natural beauty, all just minutes from the Village of Lake Placid. As part of Far Horizon, the property grants access to an expansive wilderness that reaches nearly to the summit of Mount Van Hoevenberg, with miles of trails for year round exploration. A cold brook winds through the North Meadow, fed by Round Lake just below Cascade Mountain, and meanders through the broader preserve past sloping meadows, ridges, and thoughtfully placed Adirondack lean tos. You are free to roam and explore this protected wilderness area as a member of this exclusive preserve. With private drive lighting, a gated entrance, and unmatched peace and seclusion, this is the only property of its kind in Lake Placid where the land lives wild and your connection to it runs deep.
