Set along the storied banks of the Schroon River, this distinguished Adirondack Great Camp--once the celebrated Sally Miller Smith Retreat and formerly the Silver Spruce Inn--is offered in immaculate, turn-key condition. Dating to the late 1700s and refined during the Prohibition era, this extraordinary estate blends timeless history with modern comfort, creating a one-of-a-kind private retreat.
The home is filled with remarkable character, including the legendary lower-level speakeasy, ''The Tavern,'' featuring many original fixtures from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The magnificent Great Hall, anchored by a massive stone fireplace, is perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Rich cedar interiors, secret passages, original servant call stations, and the historic Glenwood cookstove preserve the home's extraordinary heritage.
Designed for gracious living, the spacious kitchen features double ovens, generous prep space, and a convenient dumbwaiter. Offering approximately 7,560 square feet, the residence includes 27 rooms, nine bedrooms, six en-suite baths, seven fireplaces, two wood stoves, and numerous inviting living and gathering spaces.
Situated on over 9 breathtaking acres, the grounds feature English gardens, a gazebo, waterfalls, two natural springs, and the peaceful Schroon River, creating an unmatched Adirondack setting for relaxation and recreation.
Whether envisioned as a spectacular family compound, private Adirondack retreat, legacy estate, or luxury vacation home, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own one of the region's most historic and distinctive residences.
Furnishings negotiable. Owner may consider partial owner financing for qualified buyers.
