8 Upper Trail

Lake Placid, NY 12946

Among the finest homesites available in the Adirondack Park, this exceptional 6.3-acre parcel is positioned within Far Horizon, Lake Placid's premier gated preserve. Surrounded by more than 600 acres of protected wilderness and offering commanding views of the High Peaks, the property presents a rare opportunity to create a legacy retreat in one of the region's most private and exclusive settings. A sweeping meadow opens toward the mountains, creating an extraordinary building envelope framed by mature hardwoods and evergreens. The western exposure captures some of the most remarkable sunsets in the development, with evening light washing across the landscape and illuminating the High Peaks beyond. The combination of open space, dramatic views, and complete privacy is increasingly difficult to find in the Adirondacks. Far Horizon was thoughtfully conceived as a private wilderness preserve where a limited number of owners enjoy access to an extraordinary natural landscape. Miles of private trails wind through forests, meadows, ponds, streams, and lean-tos, extending nearly to Mount Van Hoevenberg and offering year-round opportunities for exploration and recreation. Located just minutes from the Village of Lake Placid, the property combines the convenience of nearby dining, shopping, and world-class recreation with the serenity of a protected Adirondack wilderness. With underground utilities, private roads, a gated entrance, and forever-wild surroundings, this offering represents a rare chance to build an exceptional home in one of the Adirondacks' most coveted private communities.
