Perched along the rocky shoreline of an Adirondack lake in Inlet, New York, this 1928 great camp represents one of the most significant lakefront estates ever to come to market in the southern Adirondacks. Sprawling across 17.2 private acres, the compound encompasses 16,500 square feet of living space across 20 bedrooms and 19 bathrooms, plus a substantial boathouse that steps directly onto the water. Aerial views reveal the main lodge and boathouse tucked into a wooded peninsula, their dark cedar siding nearly absorbed by the surrounding hardwood forest — a landscape that turns an extraordinary palette of crimson, amber, and gold each October.
The craftsmanship inside speaks directly to the great camp tradition that put the Adirondacks on the map more than a century ago. A grand central foyer features floor-to-ceiling tongue-and-groove cedar paneling, massive peeled-log support columns, and a sweeping staircase with hand-hewn branch railings — details that took skilled hands years to perfect and simply cannot be replicated today. The great room continues the theme with exposed timber-beam ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace with a raw-log mantel, and hardwood floors that carry warmth through every wing of the structure. Decorative antler mounts punctuate the upper walls throughout the common areas, reinforcing the camp's deep Adirondack identity.
The exterior is equally commanding. Stone retaining walls terrace the lawn down toward the water, where a broad deck lined with red Adirondack chairs faces the lake. The boathouse — a multi-slip structure set on pilings with an elevated deck above the boat bays — provides direct water access and additional square footage. The 17-plus-acre lot affords exceptional shoreline and a natural buffer of mature forest on all sides.
Inlet sits at the headwaters of the Fulton Chain of Lakes along the Route 28 corridor, surrounded by the forever-wild Adirondack Park. Old Forge is minutes to the west; the broader park's trail network, snowmobile corridors, and paddling routes are essentially at the doorstep. For a property of this scale and provenance in the Adirondacks, opportunities like this are genuinely rare. Reach out to Let's Move Realty NY to arrange a private showing.
