8136 NYS Route 28N, Long Lake

On the Newcomb side of Long Lake, this 1.2-acre Adirondack property gives you a little room to breathe without putting you far from town. The house sits well down from the road on a gentle slope, with a paved drive, a big lawn, well-spaced pines, apple trees, and filtered mountain views. There's a campfire ring for evenings outside, and the setting feels pleasantly private despite being on Newcomb Road. The house has three bedrooms, a full bath and a half bath, with real Adirondack character in the woodwork, vaulted spaces, and wraparound porch. The kitchen opens to the living room, and there's another living area downstairs with its own exterior entrance. The rear of the porch is enclosed, giving you a sheltered place to enjoy the mountain air when the weather turns. The current owner has put some important work into the house, including a new metal roof and a new propane wall heater that works even when the power is out. A pellet stove provides additional heat. Municipal water, septic, and 200+ amp electric are already in place. Most of the furniture stays, so you can settle in without starting from scratch. A detached, car-sized shed provides useful covered storage. The location is especially good for an outdoor basecamp, with the High Peaks close by and the Northville-Placid Trail just over a mile away. At the same time, you're still close enough to Long Lake for the beach, boating, restaurants, and everything else town has to offer. Come see if this could be your place in the Adirondacks.
