Set at the very end of Bartlett Carry Road on quiet Pork Bay, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a secluded year-round retreat on Upper Saranac Lake. Situated on 1.81 acres with 256 feet of waterfront, this property combines Adirondack charm, privacy, and modern conveniences in an exceptional wilderness setting.
The 3-bedroom cottage features warm knotty pine interiors, an open loft bedroom, propane heat, a screened lakeside porch, and beautiful wooded surroundings. Built in 1985, the home offers approximately 1,080 square feet of living space designed for comfortable four-season use.
Recent improvements include a new foundation and concrete basement floor, standby generator, 1,000-gallon propane tank, updated appliances, two-stall garage with automatic door openers, sturdy dock and the cottage was painted last year. Utilities include a deep well, concrete septic tank, Starlink high-speed internet, and 100-amp electrical service.
A boardwalk leads through lush vegetation to the waterfront, where views extend across Upper Saranac Lake toward St. Regis Mountain. Across a small bridge you will find a rustic Adirondack lean-to campsite complete with a firepit and privy. Thousands of acres of nearby Forever Wild State Land enhance the property's secluded feel.
Conveniently located within easy reach of Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Tupper Lake, Whiteface Mountain, hiking trails, golf courses, paddling routes, and endless outdoor recreation, this is a true Adirondack escape with year-round accessibility.
