<p>In the southern reaches of New York's Adirondack Park, Hamilton Lake offers more than 3,375± acres of wilderness and two private mountain lakes, Hamilton Lake and Sand Lake. Hamilton Lake features 143± acre expanse framed by peaks and more than three miles of shoreline. Assembled in the 1890s by steamship magnate John Stairn, the estate carries the legacy of the Great Camp era while embracing the comforts of a modern retreat. The original lodge stands along the north shore beside a sandy beach and a nine hole golf course, with a boathouse, lean to, and stone terraces completing the lakeside setting. Nearby, Sand Lake encompasses 24± acres and is accompanied by a collection of simple seasonal camps recalling its time as a Boy Scout retreat.</p><p>The main lodge preserves its early architectural character with massive stone fireplaces, narrow gauge maple floors, fir paneled walls, and wraparound porches overlooking the water. Each building on the property follows the Adirondack vernacular, including a 5,300 square foot conference center, an office and maintenance complex, and a three bedroom caretaker's residence, creating a self sustaining and carefully maintained retreat.</p><p>The surrounding forest has been managed with exceptional care for nearly a century. Mature northern hardwoods, strong in hard maple, are well stocked and represent a significant timber resource. The result is a landscape that supports both recreation and long term stewardship.</p><p>Hamilton Lake is a property of remarkable scale, provenance, and privacy, offering a rare opportunity to own one of the Adirondack Park's great legacy estates where natural beauty, craftsmanship, and history remain perfectly in balance. Located between the Villages of Lake Pleasant and Speculator, within easy reach of Albany and Glens Falls, and within driving distance of Montreal, Manhattan, and Boston. Surrounded on three sides by state wilderness land, the estate combines total privacy with the grandeur of rolling mountains, clear waters, and mature forest.</p>
