About the Property
Offered for the first time in 35 years, Camp Firefly sits high along Rugged Ridge Way with huge, sweeping views of the Great Range--from Marcy to Giant and everything in between--on a private, wooded 1.8-acre setting in the heart of the High Peaks. Renovated in 2000, the single-story camp is thoughtfully scaled, with 2,065 square feet arranged for easy, one-level living and a spacious sleeping lof
Offered for the first time in 35 years, Camp Firefly sits high along Rugged Ridge Way with huge, sweeping views of the Great Range--from Marcy to Giant and everything in between--on a private, wooded 1.8-acre setting in the heart of the High Peaks. Renovated in 2000, the single-story camp is thoughtfully scaled, with 2,065 square feet arranged for easy, one-level living and a spacious sleeping loft. The East Wing of the home was built in the late 1980s and was substantially renovated by the present owner. The East Wing consists of a kitchen, living and dining area, a full bathroom and bedroom plus a spacious sleeping loft. The wood-burning fireplace anchors this side of the home, and a mountain panorama frames the room. The West Wing, built in 2002, consists of a Great Room, primary bedroom and en-suite bathroom, a cedar-lined walk-in closet, and the heartbeat of the home--a spacious, screened-in porch set among the trees and facing the mountains. Two additional porches offer spots to take in the mountain air, while a detached utility shed adds practical storage. Private well and septic systems, combined with efficient electric and propane heat, round out a low-maintenance package well suited to full-time or seasonal Adirondack living. Nearly all the furniture is included with the home. Just a short distance from the trailheads, swimming holes, and village center that define Keene Valley life, Camp Firefly is an easy, unfussy escape with one of the most dramatic High Peaks backdrops on the market.
The Adirondack region is dominated by the vast Adirondack Park, one of the last true ‘wild’ areas in the Northea
The Adirondack region is dominated by the vast Adirondack Park, one of the last true ‘wild’ areas in the Northeastern United States. Commanding an impressive 6 million acres, it is the largest park in the lower 48, one in which you can canoe and hike for hundreds of miles amidst the untouched splendor of ”Forever Wild” forests, mountains, lakes, and streams. Within this stunning landscape exists a rare opportunity— the acquisition of private land within the largest collection of its kind in a public park. For the connoisseur of outdoor pursuits, the Adirondacks unveil a playground of varied experiences — from conquering rugged mountain peaks to indulging in the art of flyfishing in clear mountain streams. World-class Nordic and alpine trails beckon skiers to traverse the undulating terrain. The High Peaks Region proudly showcases 46 summits exceeding 4,000 feet, while the iconic locales of Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain stand as a testament to Olympic prestige.
