About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to 172 Brown Benoit Road in scenic Owls Head, NY — where mountain views, privacy, and year-round outdoor adventure await!

Set on over 12 acres and tucked back from the road, this updated home offers peace, space, and endless potential. Inside, you'll find a flexible layout featuring a cozy den and an open loft that can easily serve as a third bedroom, home office, or creative space.

Recent updates (completed in April 2022) include new siding, insulation, sheetrock, ceilings, and flooring. The kitchen blends rustic charm with modern touches like a stylish backsplash and updated flooring, also completed in 2022. The bathroom was fully renovated in 2017 with a new shower, sink, and toilet.

The spacious living area showcases beautiful natural woodwork, large windows that frame the view, and a wood stove for those cozy mountain evenings. An attached carport and wood shed add practical convenience.

Step outside and you'll be immersed in nature — flower gardens, apple trees, and abundant wildlife right in your backyard. Just a mile away, enjoy access to hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, and more. Titus Mountain is only 5 miles down the road, and a local golf course is just 10 miles away.

Whether you're looking for a year-round home or seasonal retreat, this property is your gateway to the best of the Adirondacks. Don't miss the chance to make this outdoor oasis your own!
