This vacation home places you within a few miles (5 km) of Ausable River and River Stone Wellness. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a fireplace, and a patio.
Extraordinary Mountain-Top 4-story Mansion with 360 views of the Adirondack High Peaks situated on a historic former ski mountain and now private 2000 acre preserve. Explore miles of trails through towering forests, vast open meadows, trout creeks and boulder-laden ridges and in winter, go alpine touring on former ski runs. Visit this architecturally-featured and beautifully designed retreat, complete with commercial-grade kitchen, 3 dining areas, great room with grand stone fireplace, stunning views from every room, 2 large decks, 8 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, numerous living rooms, reading nooks and workspaces and a glass-enclosed 5th floor observatory.
This home is privately set on a mountain top up a mile-long beautifully winding private road but sits within NewVida Preserve, an experiential resort and modern-day club house (see more on our site: newvidapreserve). The main lodge at the base of the mountain includes a daytime Bistro, an evening Craft Bar & Supper Club, a Wellness Center that includes yoga, massage, ayurveda, breath work and meditation, a private lounge and game room, and 14 suites that accommodate up to 32 guests. While staying at the house, you get the best of both worlds- a private retreat and yet access to an incredible culinary and wellness program when you need it.
Whether you’re a business, family or group of friends, you can reserve this architecturally-featured retreat as a special gathering place for reunions, celebrations, retreats, offsites, workshops and shoots. The house can be reserved exclusively or jointly with additional rooms at the main lodge. Please note, that though the mountain house is completely private, the lodge common areas are shared with members of the preserve.
This is truly a 4-season escape nestled in the 6.5 million acres of state land that constitute the Adirondacks Park. In the wintertime, it's only 6 minutes to Olympic grade skiing at Whiteface and near snowmobiling, dog-sledding and cross-country skiing trails. In the Spring, explore fly-fishing at the world-class Ausable River that runs near the property or venture out for white-water rafting. In the summer and fall, hike on trails up the high peaks to enjoy the incredible views, waterfalls, rivers and wading pools, ride on the nearby 400 acres of mountain biking trails, go boating, kayaking and swimming in Lake Placid, Saranac or Mirror Lakes, explore the farmers markets, theatre and festivals at quaint towns like Keene or enjoy the vibrant restaurants, shops and bars in Lake Placid.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 5.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 8 bedrooms and a dining area. The bathroom offers a jetted tub, hair dryers, and bidets. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.
