11 Church Pond, Saranac Lake, NY 12983

A dream getaway, this wonderfully built and well maintained spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath custom log cabin home is located at the heart of the 6.1 million acre Adirondack Park. They don’t build log homes like this anymore. Vaulted ceilings with antique wooden ceiling beams accentuate the spacious open floor plan. The smell of pine hits your nose when you open the front door, with all around, floor-to-ceiling gorgeous pine and cedar log siding in every room; all-wood doors; all-wood double-hung, oversized double windows; and 100-year warrantied, continuous hardwood floors complementing every room. An exceptional granite, natural stone fireplace; a generous built-in pine entertainment center; and a sleek, antique Hearthstone cast iron & soapstone stove atop a raised bluestone floor keep the cabin cozy year-round. The cabin has been lovingly maintained with an updated kitchen with soapstone countertops, highest quality wood cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. An oversized master bathroom with window view to the backyard and gorgeous built-in wood bath surround gives the cabin a perfect modern and natural feel. Electric heating throughout the home provides no maintenance efficiency. Oversized closets in every bedroom provide ample storage space. Newer septic system and roof adds to peace of mind. Enjoy bird watching and stargazing from two generously-sized wooden porches in front and back. A basement garage protects your cars from the elements and keeps you dry in winter weather. A gorgeous exterior natural stone chimney adds to the year-round character. Mature evergreen and white birch trees surround the property, ferns line the custom trails through the wooded backyard, and a charming Adirondack-style wooden fence welcomes you home. A tranquil haven, the cabin is the perfect vacation retreat in the Upper Saranac Lake Region, bordering and facing the 8th Hole of the picturesque Saranac Inn Golf Club designed by architect Seymour Dunn. Here you sit surrounded by thousands of acres of New York Forest Preserve, and the cabin offers daily views of mountains, lakes, and wildlife. Also situated within the Saint Regis Canoe Area, this cabin offers you access to the largest wilderness canoe area in the Northeastern United States. The nearby Hoel Pond is a highlight across the seasons, offering access to multiple trailheads and canoe carries. Days at the cabin gently unfold at your leisure, with daily views of wildlife including white-tailed deer, fox, coyote, black bear, and owls. The cabin is conveniently located within minutes of the Fish Creek and Rollins Pond State Campgrounds, and close to the Paul Smith's College Visitor Interpretive Center and trail network.
