A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY — Own the storied Panther Cove Compound on Upper Saranac Lake, NY, a true legacy estate assembled over 45 years by Mrs. Emily Donald beginning in 1928. Now spanning 16.5 acres with 482 feet of shoreline, this rare Adirondack waterfront compound includes 6 unique buildings, 2 garages, mature forest, and exceptional privacy. Main residences sit 300+ ft from the lake, screened by trees and manicured lawn. The White Farm House (c.1890s) offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a cozy fireplace, renovated kitchen (2019), new windows (2023), and original charm. The Japanese House, built around 1910, is a whimsical 2-bed, 1-bath retreat with moon window, cedar bark ceilings, hemlock floors, and stone fireplace. The historic ADK Cabin, built c.1937 near the water's edge, includes 3 beds, 1.5 baths, a sleeping porch, and garage. The Main House is a winterized 3-bed, 2-bath home with 2 fireplaces, open-plan living, Waterford wood cookstove, and a stunning 60-ton masonry core. The Big Boathouse (c.1937) features 2 long vintage slips, hoists, concrete base (~15 yrs old), and upper lounge with rooftop lake views. The Little Boathouse, on cribbing, includes a single slip and hoist. Both have winter bubblers and ice protection. The property includes deeded ROW access from Panther Mt. Rd and an original drive at the SW corner. Most furnishings included. Secure your place in Adirondack history—opportunities like this are exceedingly rare.
