Overview
At the very south end of Long Lake, where the shoreline turns quieter, wilder, and almost entirely undeveloped, this earth-sheltered home sits on 1.75 acres bordering forever-wild State land. Very few places on the lake feel this secluded. You’re well off North Point Road here, with little boat traffic, almost no vehicle noise, and scarcely another camp in sight. The shoreline remains natural, the woods are full of wildlife, and the state land next door means much of what makes this place special is going to stay that way.
Built by the owner over two years from architect’s plans and completed in 2002, the concrete structure is covered beneath roughly ten feet of earth on the top and two sides, creating a home that stays remarkably stable through the seasons — cool in summer, warm in winter, and according to the seller, frost-free even with the heat off. Whatever else this house may be, it was built to endure.
Inside, the living space is open and comfortable, with peeled wood millwork handmade by the builder throughout. At the center is an heirloom-quality black-and-chrome wood cook stove. The covered front porch faces the lake through the trees, while the covered rear porch opens toward a sheltered parking area.
There are three bedrooms, one full bath, municipal water, oil hot water heat, and private septic. Attached to the house is a large garage-workshop space, practical for storage, projects, or Adirondack life in general. A separate 24×40 pole barn adds even more room for equipment and vehicles.
The water at the south end of Long Lake tends toward shallower and more natural shoreline, but the seller has long kept a pontoon boat at the dock and says access has always worked well for him.
Quiet water, deep woods, and a house literally built into the land — come see what life is like at the southernmost end of Long Lake.
