225 W Shore RoadSaranac Lake, NY 12983Price: $4,750,000

Kiwassa Lake Lodge sits above the shoreline in a way that immediately sets it apart. The land drops into the water over massive boulders and natural rock ledge, the kind of shoreline that feels untouched and is just as good for jumping in as it is for sitting back and taking it all in. With over 340 feet of frontage, the setting has both presence and privacy. On the water, there's a rare three-slip boathouse, one of the only ones on the lake, along with a sandy beach and swim dock that make the shoreline as functional as it is beautiful. The home itself was designed to take full advantage of that setting. Offering five bedrooms and three and a half baths, it has the scale to host comfortably while still feeling warm and livable. At the center is a true great room, anchored by a large stone fireplace with vaulted ceilings above and windows that pull the lake directly into the space. It's open to a well-designed kitchen and dining area, creating a natural flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a covered porch extends the living space outdoors while you watch the lake change throughout the day. The views stretch across the lake to the surrounding mountains, but what really defines Kiwassa is the feel. It's long been considered the quiet corner of the Saranac chain. Calm water, very little boat traffic, and sunsets that tend to stop you in your tracks. It's a place where you notice the details... bass and pike in the shallows, turtles along the edge, blue heron moving through the coves, and the occasional bald eagle overhead. From here, you have the ability to run over twenty three miles of connected water into Oseetah, Lake Flower, Lower Saranac, Middle Saranac, and Weller Pond. That access matters, but so does the fact that you can come back to something that still feels quiet. You're only minutes from Saranac Lake, and a short drive to Lake Placid and Tupper Lake, which adds a level of convenience. Exceptional offering!
