This hidden gem, located on Friends Lake in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, is a mountainside paradise. Located atop a hillside, this single-family residence has magnificent views of the water. A meandering pedestrian path circulates through the mature wooded vegetation to a lake-side dock, patio space, and rustic firepit. A “dry” creek bed was designed, full of river rock and vegetation, to carry a drainage-way which cascades down the site under a pedestrian bridge that connects the residence to the garage.
Site Amenities Include:
• Natural Stone Patios and Walks
• Outdoor Kitchen
• Fire Pits
• Pedestrian Bridge Over "Dry" Stream
• Waterfront Amenities Including Dock/Swimming Platform
• Woodland Paths
