Far Hills is now available on the open market, inviting you to own a piece of history. This stunning seasonal cabin in Schroon Lake, Brand new York, boasts a rich legacy intertwined with the arts and architecture and promises a lifestyle of serene elegance. Inspired by a recital in NYC by the renowned Oscar Seagle, the original owner set her sights on the burgeoning Opera Colony in Schroon Lake. With the help of her dear friend, Duane Lyman, known as the Dean of Architects in Western New York, they designed a home that would allow voices to soar within its walls. The builders in Schroon Lake, unfamiliar with such detailed architectural plans, rose to the challenge and brought her vision to life. Far Hills stands as a testament to their craftsmanship, blending Lymans unique architectural style with the timeless traditions of Adirondack homes. The centerpiece of the house is the tremendous room, featuring a breathtaking 35-foot ceiling and a magnificent fieldstone fireplace.
French doors open onto a screened-in porch, merging indoor comfort with the tranquility of the outdoors. The house faces east, offering unparalleled views of the Adirondack mountains and glorious sunrises. The property, set on 5.9 acres comes fully furnished with four bedrooms and three full baths n the main house, plus an additional cabin with its own bathroom, this cabin is vast yet intimate. The property exudes charm, with thoughtful updates that preserve its character while ensuring modern convenience. The town of Schroon Lake, 3.5 miles away, offers a vibrant community with excellent restaurants, a public beach, hiking trails and antique shops. The Seagle Music Colony, a cornerstone of the towns cultural life, continues to draw artists and audiences alike. Whether youre looking to entertain family and friends or simply bask in the peace of the Adirondacks, this property provides the perfect backdrop. Enjoy the outdoor deck for sunning and reading, watch hummingbirds flit by or relax with a puzzle or classic board game fireside. Located 30 miles north of Lake George, 45 miles from Saratoga and 90 minutes from Albany airport, perfectly positioned for both convenience and seclusion. Experience the magic of this historic home and make it your own. Updates have been made to the electric, water systems, foundation, roof and driveway.
