                                                                 $1,600,000

Big Wolf is a Hidden, Totally Secluded, Pristine Lake which has no public access.  It is in Tupper Lake, New York about 40 minutes from Lake Placid.
 

The Camp is accessed via a long road maintained by the exclusive, private community of Big Wolf. 

When you first enter the camp, you see to the right, off in the distance, Cranberry Pond - a lovely oasis full of cranberry bushes and wildlife.

On the left, upon entering the compound area, you see the classic Adirondack-style Boat House.

 
From the boat house you see the main house which is also right at the edge of shimmering Big Wolf Lake.

 The Boat House, like everywhere else in the compound, has tranquil views of the private enclave.

 

Being there is like experiencing live pictures out of a travel magazine, depicting a place you would go and never want to leave.

Beyond the boat house, on the right, there's a garage/barn, tool shed and gardens.

 

The main house is a unique, hand-crafted home designed by a famous Adirondack Artist.

From the house, everywhere you look, there is water.

From the porch, a detail of the Huge Stone Fireplace. There are unique details throughout the camp.

View from inside the house which is at once grand and super cozy at the same time.

 

There is an incredible, soaring, sprawling Great Room with massive beams and a hand-hewn staircase going up to a second level.

 

At the far end of the Great Room is an artful Dining Area with Birch Bark Walls.

There's even a swinging double-sided couch that hangs from the massive beams on the ceiling.

 

 

Up the stairs is a spacious guest suite with private bath and sitting area plus ample storage and closets.  A balcony overlooks the pond.  

 

Off the Great Room, down a long hallway and  overlooking the lake, there is a private master suite with full bath.  There are also two other spacious bedrooms with another full bath.

 

View of Lake from Hallway.

The Master Bedroom has expansive views of the lake, a walk in closet, a door to the backyard and an outdoor shower.

 View of Great Room from Hallway.

 

The Front of the House overlooks the lake. The home is tucked into the woods, surrounded by pine and birch trees, but has vistas across the water. 

This is a view of the front, lake side of the house from the Great Room.

View of front corner of house.

 

The lake, surrounding property and home flow together from inside to outside.

 

The mountains across the lake almost seem to come right into the house.

The Cranberry Pond side of the house is its own oasis.

The Cranberry Pond side of the home has a charming screened in porch leading to a bar area and the kitchen.

 

Almost forgot to mention, the second floor of the boat house is an artist studio & workshop. 

And, here are some more views to give you an idea of how nature surrounds and interacts with the house.

Or, get some work done in the art studio workshop.

 You'll never want to leave.  But...alas...when you have to, the Big Wolf community care taker will make sure your
house is safe and secure until you return.

Details: This Big Wolf Lake Camp is owned by a famous Adirondack Artist who helped design the camp when it was originally built in 1960.  The entire compound is almost 9 acres and has one of a kind details throughout.  The house is approximately 3,700 sf plus there is a boat house with two interior boat slips and an artist studio workshop above.   The main house has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths including master and guest suites with private baths.

The prestigious Big Wolf Community has only about 40 residences which are hidden within hundreds and hundreds of acres along miles of road and lake frontage.   The community has a vintage Community Club House with tennis courts.  Big Wolf Lake has miles of private lake with several fishing ponds, all with no public access.  The community has a full time caretaker who keeps an eye on the homes when the owners are away.   It is extremely rare when a house with this much character, on a secluded waterfront parcel, located on a totally private lake comes onto the market. 
The parcel is plenty big enough to add a guest cottage or other out buildings or expand the main house.
