About This Home

As of January 2018

A Grand Lakefront Estate is the ultimate destination fantasy! Masterfully designed 32 landscaped Sanctuary was once the site of the second oldest Boy Scout camp and you will find touches throughout that pay homage not only to the legacy, but to the principals that have stood the test of time. Over 1000 ft of pristine Gardner Lake front offers your own sandy beach, dock, individual 2 and 3 bedroom furnished guest cottages, and acres of arboretum quality gardens and water features. The main house is an architectural masterpiece to replicate a modern Adirondack lodge designed for recreation and relaxation in the highest style and amenities. From the indoor saltwater pool, the commercial kitchen, whirlpool spa, professionally designed bars, sauna and steam showers, water features, and of course, Billiards/gaming room, and a complete movie theater, to the sweeping Porticos and private balconies, will rival any grand hotel. The former "Mess Hall" has been transformed into a sweeping space anchored by the original stone mantle with the motto, "BE PREPARED". The elevator ascends down to the wine cellar, private dressing rooms, 3 bay garage. The beautifully appointed guest quarters features 3 sunny bedrooms complete with a gourmet kitchen open to living space and spectacular views. For the investor, conceptual plans and soil tests for 25 additional town homes or 7 luxury homes. The current infrastructure could easily support a turnkey destination business or one amazing retreat!
