Built by a European cabinetmaker, who apprenticed in Germany, this 1350± square foot home is situated just off a quiet secondary road. Surrounded by large
private ownership, it has 27.7± acres of land. The south facing chalet is hidden from the road, with a short driveway and a small front yard having lovely
flower beds. Behind the house are three developed gardens on a terraced hillside. Two are for vegetables and one for flowers. Down a lovely little path,
not far from the gardens is a sauna with storage for garden tools. Further uphill and beyond the gardens are acres and acres of woodland with potential for
all sorts of recreational uses. The trees on the property include maple, white pine and red pine and have not been logged for many decades. There are fields
near the house which might accommodate a couple of horses.. If desired, one might consider developing additional cottages, studios or lean-tos on other parts
of the land. An old woods road, not too steep and good for cross country skiing, if cleared, could be improved with a bridge over a little stream to provide
vehicular access to the area. The land is classified by the Adirondack Park Agency as Rural Use. There is potential for a view of Whiteface Mountain with
selective cutting
