Great Value for a Classic Adirondack Great Camp for Sale in Keene Valley, New York
By LandVest

A classic Adirondack Great Camp, The Uplands, is an exceptional 26 acre family compound in Keene Valley, NY.

LandVest has a long and successful history of advising property owners on land use, conservation, valuation and timber management and in marketing real estate throughout the Adirondack Park and on both the Vermont and New York shorelines of Lake Champlain.

The challenging real estate market of the last several years is creating opportunities for savvy buyers to purchase legacy properties at values not seen for a decade or more. One such remarkable value is “The Uplands” in Keene Valley, New York. This beautifully maintained classic Adirondack Great Camp is sited on over 26 acres of towering white pine trees with views to the surrounding mountains. The main camp was built in 1909 and is comprised of several buildings connected by large covered porches, making for a relaxed retreat for a couple or for a large extended family, as groups can occupy one building or several depending on the size of the gathering. The principal building has an enormous great room, a separate large dining room and numerous bedrooms. The “South House” also connected by a traditional covered walkway is heated and used year round. The compound has accessory structures and a heated pool.

The family just reduced the asking price to $1,950,000, a striking value, given that LandVest sold a slightly larger, though otherwise very similar Great Camp nearby for $2.7M just over a year ago.

“This significant price reduction for this exceptional property reflects the current real estate market and is a great opportunity for a wonderful family compound in Keene Valley.” Landvest broker Vinny McClelland opined. “We are seeing increased activity in Adirondack real estate from individuals and families who appreciate the added value of owning private property surrounded by millions of acres of forever wild forest preserve lands of the Adirondack Park. This particular property is only 2 hours from Montréal and less than 5 hours from Boston and New York.”

LandVest’s Keene Valley office is located in the heart of the “High Peaks” of the Adirondack Mountains within the 7 million-acre Adirondack Park. LandVest works with large and small, historic, generational, waterfront, timberland and unique higher value properties. Other properties currently being marketed by LandVest in the Adirondacks include the historic and renovated “Pinewood” also in Keene Valley, “Bark Eater” in Keene, the 3,000-acre “Hamilton Lake”, “Willett Farm” in Essex and “Mays Pond” near Old Forge.

Since the early 1900's a single family has been the steward of this connecting link between the high peaks of the Adirondack mountains and the shores of Lake Champlain. Bessboro Farm in Westport, NY is currently for sale.
