Welcome to an exquisite lakefront estate on the serene shores of Schroon Lake, the former site of the historic Camp Redwing, a beloved girls' camp from the early 1900s. This remarkable property has been reimagined and renovated to perfection, offering a blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Nestled on over 6 acres of land, this property was carefully curated and passionately cared for by its current owners. The main home was redesigned with Paul Harris, the owner of an award winning holistic architecture firm, and underwent a custom rebuild by Neil Morse, a well known local home builder. Two historic camp buildings, and a sports court, swim platform and footprint of a lookout tower original to Camp Redwing, still exist today. Boasting 180 degree views of Schroon Lake and Adirondack mountains, 220 feet of pristine lakefront, a sandy beach, plenty of acreage to explore and multiple wood burning fireplaces, this lakefront camp is perfect for relaxation and recreation any time of the year. The main house, spanning approximately 6,000 square feet, has two primary bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, a first floor walk out guest suite, and 4 additional bunk spaces built in with their own baths as well. The open-concept living area includes a wood-burning fireplace, a game room complete with a wet bar, and a large laundry room area ideal for storing lake and ski gear. An incredible screened-in porch also has its own wood burning fireplace, gorgeous lake views and connects the main home to an oversized two-car garage with front and rear openings for ease of use by water or land. Above the garage and connected to the main home via the screened in porch is a perfectly positioned 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom living space, and just outside, a patio complete with a fire pit, outdoor kitchen and shower. The outbuildings, used as bunks in the days of the girls’ camp, have been preserved in their original state, offering a rare glimpse into the past and providing the option to renovate for your preferred future use. Designed with the highest standards, this home includes whole-house automated sound, lighting, and security systems. High-end finishes such as mushroom wood ceilings and top-of-the-line appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Marvel are found throughout. The property can comfortably accommodate up to 27 guests, with additional sleeping quarters available in the historic outbuildings. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the recently refinished sports court, suitable for tennis, basketball and volleyball, harking back to its days as a girls' summer camp or, a more modern day use as a pickleball court or skating rink for hockey in the winter. With close proximity to Gore Mountain, the largest ski area in New York, and easy access to popular hiking and snowmobiling trails, this camp is a haven for winter lovers too - it can be comfortably enjoyed year round, having a generator and being fully outfit for whatever weather the Northeast brings. This unique property is available fully furnished, and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying all the modern amenities and comforts of a luxury lakefront home in the Adirondack Mountains. Experience the best of both worlds on the east side of Schroon Lake, where timeless elegance meets contemporary living.
