Pine Brook Meadow is an extraordinary Adirondack offering, where sweeping mountain vistas, expansive meadows, and miles of trails create an unparalleled sense of place just minutes from the heart of Lake Placid. Set amidst an exceptional natural landscape, the property enjoys commanding views toward the Cascades, Saddleback, Haystack, and Mount Marcy, with spectacular sunrises, drifting morning fog, and the changing seasons providing an ever-evolving backdrop.
Elegant yet inviting, the custom residence is a sophisticated expression of Adirondack architecture, thoughtfully designed to balance grandeur with warmth and comfort. Vaulted ceilings, generous living spaces, and beautifully appointed interiors create an inviting setting for both intimate escapes and gatherings with family and friends. The chef's kitchen features two ovens, while a main-level primary suite and three additional en-suite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort and privacy.
A commanding stone fireplace anchors the great room, creating a spectacular focal point and the perfect setting for winter evenings spent curled up by the fire as snow falls across the meadow. In warmer months, the home naturally extends outdoors, with an outdoor stone fireplace and screened porch providing an inviting setting for entertaining, gathering with family and friends, or simply enjoying the surrounding mountains and gardens.
Exceptional amenities include a two-person indoor endless pool and sauna, private gym with full bath and steam shower, spacious game/media room, dedicated wine room, attached garage, and separate three-car Carriage House. Perennial gardens and expansive grounds enhance the estate's privacy and character.
Enjoy nearby John Brown Farm, Henry's Woods, and Heaven Hill Trails, offering miles of walking and hiking just beyond your door. With its extraordinary setting, sweeping views, refined amenities, and proximity to Lake Placid, Pine Brook Meadow is a truly rare offering in today's market.
