Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The Huntington Motel and Cottages site includes approximately 85.4 acres across two parcels. The property features mountainside terrain with streams and direct access to the outdoors, along with public water access. Existing improvements include a caretaker’s home, an owner’s residence, a former boutique motel, and four cottages; the structures are reported to be in disrepair and ready for removal.
The site is described as being about a half-mile from the entrance to Whiteface Mountain and steps from the West Branch of the Ausable River. It is within the Lake Placid School District. Public remarks also note favorable 1.3-acre APA zoning for the parcels and the property’s backdrop to a separate 78.5-acre parcel that is also available for sale.
This offering may suit buyers exploring development, conservation, or a private retreat, with the land providing the primary value proposition. With public water access and proximity to outdoor recreation, the property’s configuration supports a range of uses tied to the surrounding Adirondack setting. The presence of on-site structures that are ready for removal can streamline clearing if a new project is planned, while the available adjacent parcel may be relevant for those considering expansion or a larger combined footprint.
