About This Home
Some homes are bought. This one was dreamed. It began with a vision and 66 acres of untouched Adirondack land. Over time, the dream came to life. Designed by the owner with attention to the smallest detail, this 2 bedroom, 2 full bath retreat offers just over 1,200 square feet of quality craftsmanship. Standing seam metal roof. Real hardwood floors, hand nailed in the upstairs loft. Upgraded insulation. Radiant floor heat, on demand hot water, and a whole house generator deliver true four season comfort on just 725 gallons of propane a year. The full walkout basement offers room to grow. A three season porch overlooks the gardens. A wrap around deck lifts you into the treetops. Beyond, 66 acres of pure Adirondack privacy. Hawks circle, owls call at dusk, deer wander past the dining room window. A year round stream traces the southern boundary, crossed by a small concrete bridge. Ten minutes to Gull Bay on the quiet side of Lake George. Fifteen to Ticonderoga. Lake Champlain just beyond. Though it feels worlds away, Backus Lane is municipally maintained year round. A retreat that became a home. Now ready to become yours.
