Overview

This 6.3-acre homesite is located within Far Horizon, a gated preserve in the Adirondack Park. The parcel offers a meadow opening framed by mature hardwoods and evergreens, creating a defined building envelope. Western exposure is a key feature of the setting, with evening light washing across the landscape toward the High Peaks.

Far Horizon is described as a private wilderness preserve with a limited number of owners and protected forever-wild surroundings. The property is set within more than 600 acres of protected wilderness, and residents have access to miles of private trails that wind through forests, meadows, ponds, streams, and lean-tos. Access is controlled with a gated entrance, and the community includes underground utilities and private roads. The offering is also noted as being just minutes from the Village of Lake Placid for dining, shopping, and recreation.

For buyers seeking a secluded custom homesite, this parcel provides an opportunity to build within a controlled-access preserve while retaining the privacy and natural character described for Far Horizon. The combination of open space for a potential residence setting and preserved woodland backdrop supports a retreat-style build consistent with the community’s wilderness-focused design.
