If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a true legacy compound in the heart of the High Peaks region, 2292 Gillespie Drive represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Spanning nearly 295 contiguous acres and bordered on two sides by hundreds of acres of New York State Forever Wild lands, this extraordinary estate offers total seclusion, untouched natural beauty, and dramatic mountain vistas.
Unmatched Natural Surroundings & Waterways
What sets this estate apart is the sheer scale of its private outdoor environment:
- Two Private Lakes & Pond: Enjoy peaceful morning paddles, fishing, or swimming right on your own land without a single neighbor in sight.
- French’s Brook Frontage: Over three-quarters of a mile of private brook frontage runs through the property, complete with a soothing natural waterfall.
- Trail Network & Meadows: Miles of manicured trails wind through undisturbed hardwood forest and open meadows, ideal for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or ATV riding.
- Bordering Forever Wild Lands: Flanked by NYS Forest Preserve on the eastern and southern borders, ensuring your privacy and mountain view sheds remain protected forever.
Three Distinct Living Quarters
Designed as an ideal family compound or retreat center, the property features three separate accommodations:
- The Main Residence (2 Beds / 2 Baths): Featuring classic Adirondack woodwork, three cozy fireplaces, and a broad covered porch where you can sit back and take in the fresh mountain air.
- The Guest House (3 Beds): Positioned adjacent to the main home, the guest house centers around a large, open gathering hall—the ideal hub for hosting family gatherings, aprés-ski dinners, or game nights.
- The Knoll Cottage (Newly Built): Perched atop a private knoll, this charming new cottage offers the most striking, direct views of the high peaks of Whiteface and Esther Mountains.
Prime High Peaks Location
While 2292 Gillespie Drive feels miles away from civilization, it keeps you remarkably close to the best of the Adirondacks:
- 10 Minutes to local dining and shops in Wilmington.
- 15 Minutes to Whiteface Mountain Ski Center for world-class skiing, snowboarding, and downhill mountain biking.
- 25 Minutes to the iconic Olympic Village of Lake Placid for shopping, fine dining, and events.
Development Potential: In addition to serving as a multi-generational estate, the property is sub-dividable into 8.5-acre parcels, offering substantial potential for future land preservation or investment strategy.
