Bordering State Land, this well built home is the perfect vacation retreat for the outdoor enthusiast. Situated on Route 30 between Saranac Inn and Lake Clear and bordered by forever wild state land along the east side, the south side and north across Route 30 as well. A short walk north is the start of the St. Regis Canoe Area, an 18,400 acre preserve; the only designated canoe area in New York. It is surrounded by a network of old Saranac Inn right-of-ways and trails. Literally walk off the property to enjoy nature canoeing, hiking, cross country skiing, biking, fishing or hunting. For the snowmobilers, the Adirondack Railroad Corridor is accessible by a short trail to the north. Bird watchers will enjoy the boreal bog in the back yard, a true "floating bog" over 25 feet deep, teaming with orchids, peepers and birds from loons to eagles. It is like having waterfront property without waterfront taxes. The parcel has deeded lake rights to Upper Saranac Lake as do all of the original "Lands of Saranac Inn", however, the deeded lake rights are controversial and disputed; a good exercise for the lawyers out there. The home has a 24'x30' footprint plus the entryway and balcony. It is a two bedroom, two bathroom home with room for future expansion. It has a reliable 174' deep drilled well. It is a modified cape style that has a master bedroom loft that benefits from a shed dormer on the north and a southern-facing gable dormer featuring a 6'x10' balcony with built in seating, an ideal place to enjoy a beverage or hang a hammock. It has a full poured dry basement with a split level outdoor access. The structure is tight and easy to heat with two kerosene monitors or a wood stove via the two-flue masonry chimney. There is also a 12'x20' storage shed on the property ideal for canoes and other toys.
