Price Reduction! For the first time, a property featuring a boathouse on the West Branch of the Ausable River—in the coveted section known as Lake Everest—is being offered for sale. This stretch of river, with its deep, serene waters, is renowned for offering some of the finest trout fishing in the region, all within a charming, level setting that evokes the feel of a peaceful country retreat. As you approach down a winding private drive, the property reveals itself with grace—apple trees dot the landscape, tall pines frame the view, and commanding vistas of Whiteface Mountain rise dramatically in the distance. It's a rare combination of mountain majesty and riverside serenity that simply cannot be replicated. Set on 2.6 acres with over 275 feet of shoreline, the parcel is within walking distance to community parks, tennis courts, and world-class mountain biking trails. The land offers potential for subdivision, making it not just a dream retreat but a smart investment for the future. The 2,500+ square foot home offers the opportunity for convenient one-level living, while still accommodating three bedrooms and two full baths. Whether used as a year-round residence or seasonal escape, the home is perfectly positioned to soak in river and mountain views from nearly every angle. But it's the boathouse—the only known structure of its kind on Lake Everest—that truly sets this property apart. A rare and significant amenity, it opens up unmatched recreational access to the water and elevates this offering into a league of its own. With unmatched beauty, rich recreational opportunities, and historical significance, this is more than just a property—it's a legacy in the making. Don't miss the chance to own one of the most exceptional waterfront homes ever brought to market in the Adirondack Park.
