What makes you day dream of the Adirondack Mountains? Is it the sound of a loon on a still morning lake? The smell of a strong pot of coffee brewing as the sun rises over the water? A camp fire. .. surrounded by those close to you. .. under a starry sky, unencumbered by ambient city light? That place exists. 2923 South Lake Road, sets resolutely on the shores of North Lake. This is the oldest settled property on the lake. North Lake is a reservoir located at the headwaters of the Black River and surrounded by the Black River Wild Forest. At its deepest point, the lake is 60 feet deep and the predominant fish species are tiger muskies, yellow perch, and smallmouth bass. The lake won't get above 70 degrees with that spring fed water! The property is being offered for public sale, for the first time ever! As it has been in the same family since 1845. Vintage photographs tell the story of what it was really like to LIVE the Adirondack lifestyle. South Lake Road has no electric. It is a motorized lake. Most camps have solar panel generators, and Starlink, to enjoy the modern comforts. Boonville Telephone offers dial up internet and phone service. .. if needed. You will not get cell service because there are no cell towers. .. you will be forced to relax. .. unwind. .. and communicate the old fashioned way. .. through good old. .. CONVERSATION! The cabin sets on a high point with just under half an acre of land and 209 feet of direct lake front. Dock installed already as well as a deck overlooking the lake vistas. The original portion dates back to approximately 1845 with the addition built about 25 years ago. Currently, the cabin can be used as an authentic Adirondack experience but certainly presents a blank canvas for adding your modern comforts. This property presents an opportunity for you to create your Adirondack legacy at a cost point where you can add future value. South Lake is close by offering similar experiences Honnedaga lake is close as well, where wealthy families have had generational camps. It is time to create your personal Adirondack Story.
