Description
For the first time ever, Far Hills is now available on the open market, inviting you to own a piece of history. This stunning seasonal cabin in Schroon Lake, New York, boasts a rich legacy intertwined with the arts and architecture, and promises a lifestyle of serene elegance. Inspired by a recital in NYC by the renowned Oscar Seagle, the original owner set her sights on the burgeoning Opera Colony in Schroon Lake. With the help of her dear friend, Duane Lyman, known as the "Dean of Architects in Western New York," they designed a home that would allow voices to soar within its walls. The builders in Schroon Lake, unfamiliar with such detailed architectural plans, rose to the challenge and brought her vision to life. Far Hills stands as a testament to their craftsmanship, blending Lyman’s unique architectural style with the timeless traditions of Adirondack homes. The centerpiece of the house is the great room, featuring a breathtaking 35-foot ceiling and a magnificent fieldstone fireplace. French doors open onto a screened-in porch, merging indoor comfort with the tranquility of the outdoors. The house faces east, offering unparalleled views of the Adirondack mountains and glorious sunrises. The property, set on 5.9 acres comes fully furnished with four bedrooms and three full baths in the main house, plus an additional cabin with its own bathroom, this cabin is spacious yet intimate. The property exudes charm, with thoughtful updates that preserve its character while ensuring modern convenience. The town of Schroon Lake, just 3.5 miles away, offers a vibrant community with excellent restaurants, a public beach, hiking trails, and antique shops. The Seagle Music Colony, a cornerstone of the town’s cultural life, continues to draw artists and audiences alike.
