Discover a rare opportunity to own a serene waterfront retreat on Lake Desolation, offered for the first time in more than 40 years. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Saratoga Springs and nestled in the foothills of the Southern Adirondacks, this peaceful seasonal escape is a place where life slows down, nature takes center stage, and every season offers a new way to enjoy the lake. Lake Desolation is a pristine, non-motorized lake known for its calm waters, making it ideal for kayaking, swimming, fishing, and simply soaking in the tranquility of nature. Surrounded by 433 acres of Lake Desolation State Forest, the area offers endless opportunities for exploration, with hiking trails and year-round outdoor recreation right outside your door. Perched above the road on a private 0.37-acre lot, this lovingly maintained cabin offers 145 feet of direct lake frontage, swimming dock, and a lakeside deck designed to capture breathtaking sunrises and peaceful waterfront views. Thoughtfully positioned living spaces provide a front-row seat to the lake's natural beauty, whether you're enjoying morning coffee by the water or hosting unforgettable alfresco dinners under the stars. Inside, the warm and inviting interior features two spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, a well-appointed kitchen, and a cozy wood-burning stove perfect for crisp Adirondack evenings. The enclosed porch, with direct access to the expansive front deck, serves as an ideal gathering space, complete with built-in storage, bench seating, and a wall of lake-facing windows that seamlessly bring the outdoors in. Enjoy the charm of lakeside living with the convenience of Tinney's Tavern, a beloved local favorite just a short stroll away along the water's edge. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway, a summer sanctuary, or a place to create generations of memories, this one-of-a-kind Lake Desolation retreat offers a rare chance to slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of waterfront living.
