4970 State Route 8, Cold Brook, NY – Private Adirondack Waterfront Estate
A rare opportunity to own a private Adirondack retreat set on 40 acres with over 3,300 feet of frontage along the West Canada Creek. This exceptional property offers a unique combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and year-round comfort in the heart of the Adirondack Park.
The custom contemporary home, originally built in 1987 with a 2005 addition, features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an open-concept design that blends warmth and functionality. The main living area is anchored by gas fireplaces, creating an inviting atmosphere in every season. A first-floor primary suite with a screened porch and a wood-burning fireplace provides a peaceful, private escape overlooking the surrounding woodland.
A finished basement with oak flooring adds flexible living space for guests or extended stays.
The land is equally impressive, with over 2 miles of private trails ideal for hiking, snowmobiling, and ATV use, along with direct access to regional trail systems. The expansive creek frontage offers exceptional fishing, kayaking, and waterfront enjoyment. A charming log cabin near the water enhances the property’s appeal as a true retreat.
Additional improvements include an attached garage, a 1,100 sq ft heated pole barn, and a 1,560 sq ft barn with attached greenhouse—perfect for storage, hobbies, or future use.
Modern infrastructure includes a full-time propane system, backup electric and oil heat, a permanent generator, and fiber optic internet.
An ideal offering for those seeking a luxury Adirondack home, waterfront property, or private recreational estate in Upstate New York.
