Adirondack style log home - brand new built in 2013 and located on the Ausable River with mountain views of Whiteface! Come enjoy the Adirondacks based out of this perfect log home with rustic charm, views, and peacefulness, located a minute away from Wilmington town center and 5 minutes away from Whiteface Mt Olympic ski area! The log home is 1400 sq.ft, complete with beautiful, real, round log exterior walls, cedar and pine ceilings, hardwood floors, and large log beams, with a huge 12'x24' exterior deck overlooking the Ausable River, a master bedroom balcony over cedar logs, with direct views of Whiteface Mt and the Wilmingon Range. This home was lovingly built by life-long Adirondack resident and owner, Johnathan Esper, with meticulous attention to log design born from his fond memories of growing up in a log home. The log house on the Ausable River is set amid towering white pines on the steep river bank, at the end of a 300ft driveway with the neighbors' houses set well away along the roadside frontage. The sounds of the West Branch of the Ausable River, or the wind through the pines from atop the cedar balcony, are the only thing one hears from the house, despite being located most conveniently near the center of the small town of Wilmington and its various shops. Exterior soffit lights cast shadow patterns of the round log textures and cedar shake gables, making twilight a wonderful time to come home. The first floor of the house follows an open floor plan with kitchen, dining, and living rooms, plus a full bath and laundry room and bedroom with queen bed. Enjoy the cozy gas fireplace while looking out the window toward the Wilmington Range. Radiant in-floor heating throughout the house also provides warmth and coziness, and in the summer months the natural thermal properties of logs keep the house cool, along with French bi-fold doors opening onto the deck for fresh air. The kitchen is fully equipped for you to make lovely meals if you so wish, with brand new stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs is the master suite area including loft and bath. The bedroom featuring a walkout balcony accessed via French doors, and mountain views from the queen size bed. The upstairs bathroom is entirely of slate tile and red cedar, with a large Jacuzzi hot-tub, glass shower, and dual flush European style toilet. There is a large loft area, which can enjoyed as a lounging area for the master suite, or desk working area, or kids sleeping area with a comfy new futon that can lay out flat for children. This charming log chalet is the perfect size for a week or weekend getaway to the Adirondack Mountains. The world class town of Lake Placid is just 15 minutes away, with fine dining and shopping. Keene Valley, a hiker's destination, is also 15 minutes away. And of course, Whiteface Mt ski area is just up the road 5 minutes away. The Ausable River is world famous for fly fishing and you can enjoy your private fishing area on the bank in front of your vacation home. Wilmington is a great area of the Adirondacks - it's the ski and mountain biking capital of the Adirondacks, and 15 minutes away from the best hiking in New York State. The exterior of the house features a huge deck, with Adirondack cedar chairs, overlooking the Ausable River, A BBQ grill, canoes/kayaks for use on nearby ponds (must sign special clause to use), and a fire pit with plenty of free firewood to burn! (always keep your fire under control, not too big, and never leave unattended). The owner prefers check in/out any day of the week except Saturday. Read less
