All information believed accurate, but not guaranteed.

This 4.16 acre one-of-a-kind lakefront property is the perfect family compound yet is zoned for both residential and commercial purposes (up to 9 units). Conveniently located just steps from the center of Bolton Landing and a five-minute walk from the Sagamore, it is completely fenced and private. It is also just minutes from the Sagamore Golf Course, designed by Donald Ross.

The highlight of the property is a 3,845-sq.-ft., year-round Colonial-revival home built in 1927 with large covered front porch and beautiful easterly lake and mountain views. The property is mostly level and boasts mature trees and attractive plantings, rock retaining walls and lawns sweeping down to 170 feet of shoreline with boathouse and private grass/sand beach on a small cove. The driveway is paved and in good condition.

The elegant house features two sleeping porches and six bedrooms (one with fireplace), five of them on the second floor and reachable by two staircases and a spacious center hallway. The house also features 3-1/2 baths, an eat-in country kitchen opening to covered side porch, two pantries, laundry room, mudroom, a living room with large brick fireplace and dining room opening to all-glass sun porch with lake views and adjacent magnificent wood-paneled family room with 12-foot vaulted ceiling. An old-world greenhouse with slate tables for potting is attached.

The property’s Adirondack-style deep-water boathouse was featured previously in Motorboating and Sailing Magazine and can accommodate 4 or 5 boats in addition to rooms for both changing and equipment storage. The property also features a small writer’s cottage with toilet and sink; a woodshed, root cellar, three other small outbuildings and a 5,000+ square-foot carriage house that is one of the most distinctive in the area. This architectural gem offers a carport, indoor garage space for at least 3 vehicles, a spacious woodworking shop and three rental apartments:
