Few properties on Lake Placid carry a pedigree like this one. Originally constructed in 1925 by Ben Muncil — the master builder behind legendary Great Camps including Camp Topridge on Upper St. Regis Lake — this log structure was carefully relocated to Peninsula Way in 1999 and fully rebuilt into a 3,225-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bath lakefront compound. The craftsmanship Muncil was known for is still visible in every hand-hewn log course; what surrounds it now is a thoughtfully modernized interior with in-floor radiant heat, central air conditioning, and custom furnishings that convey with the sale.
The Great Room commands attention: a soaring cathedral ceiling clad in tongue-and-groove wood rises above rounded log walls, all anchored by a massive native-stone wood-burning fireplace that stretches nearly to the peak. Adjacent, a wrap-around three-season porch fitted with its own granite fireplace and walls of divided-light windows delivers panoramic lake and mountain views in a room that genuinely earns the word retreat. Hardwood floors, plaid upholstered seating, and curated Adirondack furnishings throughout carry the camp aesthetic without feeling dated.
On the water, a two-story Douglas fir boathouse sits directly over the lake, with garage-door boat bays at water level, an upper bonus room, and a deck overlooking Mirror Lake's wide expanse. A dedicated bath house with outdoor shower sits steps from the boathouse dock. A private jetty and fire-pit area round out the 1.71-acre peninsula setting — one of the more distinctive waterfront configurations you'll find this close to the Village of Lake Placid, with its Olympic venues, year-round recreation, and the High Peaks trailheads minutes away.
The property carries a documented vacation rental history, comes mostly furnished, and has a newly drilled well. For buyers seeking a Lake Placid waterfront compound with authentic Adirondack Great Camp roots and every modern comfort already in place, the opportunity is rare.
