235 Lajeunesse RD Saranac Lake, NY 12983

Camp Smoke Rise is a rare opportunity to own one of the Adirondacks' remaining authentic Great Camps, set along the peaceful shores of Fish Creek Pond with easy boating access to Upper Saranac Lake. Designed by renowned architect William Distin, this remarkable property was once a historic boys camp attended by notable figures such as Frederick August Otto Schwarz of F.A.O. Schwarz and Jay Rockefeller. Thoughtful updates including a beautifully renovated kitchen, updated baths, and new roof have been completed while carefully preserving the camp's original Adirondack character and craftsmanship. The property is being offered mostly furnished.

At the heart of the camp is the stunning 30-foot-high octagonal great room rotunda featuring a massive native stone fireplace visible from throughout the space. Original birch bark finishes, peeled log interiors, rustic timber beams, and native stonework showcase the timeless craftsmanship of the Great Camp era. A large iron hatch in the great room provides direct access to the circular stone wood storage area below, a unique and functional architectural detail.

Comprised of 8 bedrooms and 4 baths, Camp Smoke Rise offers 1.8 acres, 370 feet of shoreline, a covered boat slip, and a newly added swimming and floating dock perfect for enjoying the calm waters of Fish Creek Pond, paddling at sunset, or listening to the loons. Just a short boat ride away, Upper Saranac Lake is one of the Adirondacks' most sought-after lakes, known for its crystal-clear water, island-lined shoreline, and exceptional boating and recreation.
