About This Home

As of September 2025

The southern exposure of ''Moose Haven'' on Upper Saranac Lake cannot be beat! The slightly concave shape of the shoreline ensures privacy and allows for maximum enjoyment of the 330 feet of frontage along the even, lake level lot.

Expansive views can be enjoyed from wrap around porch and in the historic Adirondack great room, which features large log beams, vaulted ceilings and rustic stone fireplace.

Tastefully expanded, the natural wood theme can be enjoyed throughout the camp. A small one bedroom cottage, oversized boathouse and dock, historic barn, one stall garage and fire pit add to this property's charm.

Centrally located on one of the largest lakes in the region, access is easy - less than a mile off the paved road.
