A Serene Adirondack Retreat in Ausable Acres - Nature, Simplicity & Quiet Luxury! Tucked into the trees in the heart of the Adirondacks, you'll find a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed home that feels more like a peaceful retreat than a house. Whether you're looking to unplug from the rush of daily life or simply savor the changing seasons, this Adirondack haven delivers comfort, calm, and quiet elegance. Step inside to a sun-filled open-concept living space with vaulted ceilings, clean architectural lines, and large windows that invite the beauty of the outdoors in. The modern kitchen features stainless appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining or unwinding after a day outside. The main level includes a private primary bedroom, while the open loft above offers flexible space for guests, work, or relaxation. The lower level is framed and ready for future expansion, with space for an additional bedroom, full bath, and recreation room—tailored to your vision. Step out onto the wraparound deck, surrounded by tall pines, fresh air, and the gentle rhythm of the forest. Enjoy wildlife sightings, morning coffee in stillness, or evenings under the stars. With nearby access to Lake Eaton, the Ausable River, Whiteface Mountain and miles of biking and hiking trails, this home invites connection to nature in every season. This home is part of a welcoming community where owners enjoy access to private hiking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, and fishing. Just minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Lake Eaton and the Ausable River, this is a haven for nature lovers, paddlers, fly fishers, and anyone seeking space to breathe. Whether you're seeking a personal sanctuary or an inspiring escape to share with others, this home offers a lifestyle of ease, beauty, and belonging—set in one of the most magical corners of the Adirondacks.
