Tucked away on more than 14 private acres in the Adirondacks, this custom-built Adirondack retreat, inspired by the architectural cover-featured home ''Barnbrooke,'' offers privacy, acreage, character, and potential. Set well off the road in a peaceful, natural setting, this original-owner property offers the seclusion buyers are looking for while remaining close to Lake Champlain, the village of Essex, and just two miles from the ferry to Vermont.
A long private drive, mature trees, and impressive blue limestone stone walls create a memorable sense of arrival. The stone walls feature blue limestone sourced from an 1800s railroad turnstile, adding beauty and history to the property. The home features newly painted cedar siding and custom marble skirting, enhancing its Adirondack charm and craftsmanship.
Inside, the entryway makes a striking first impression with a custom front door and sidelight crafted by the Weather Hill Company in Vermont, complemented by marble floors and columns. The spacious living and dining areas feature concrete floors with radiant heat, offering comfort through all four seasons. The kitchen includes solid oak cabinetry, and the home's generous layout, high ceilings, and over 3,500 sq. ft. of living space provide plenty of room to gather, relax, and personalize.
The interior offers an excellent opportunity for the next owner to update flooring, paint, and finishes to their own taste. Additional features include buried power lines, a garage or workshop for projects, storage, or hobbies, and an RV pad with sewer, water, and electric hookups for guests.
Whether you are looking for a private Adirondack getaway, a full-time residence with room to roam, or a custom property where you can create your own vision, this 14+ acre retreat offers exceptional privacy, craftsmanship, and opportunity.
