Description
- Description:
Perched high above Keene Valley within the Adirondack High Peaks, Giant View is a meticulously restored luxury mountain retreat offering exceptional privacy, history, and craftsmanship across nearly twenty pristine acres. Once part of the historic Goldman-Sachs family holdings, the property blends timeless Adirondack camp architecture with sophisticated modern comfort, creating a rare four-season sanctuary for refined mountain living.
Originally completed in 1947, the residence is dramatically positioned beneath moss-covered granite cliffs with sweeping eastern views toward Giant Mountain, Spread Eagle, Hopkins, and the surrounding wilderness. Expansive windows frame breathtaking mountain vistas while filling the interiors with natural light and a constant connection to nature. Protected Forever Wild lands surrounding the property create an extraordinary sense of serenity and seclusion.
A comprehensive restoration transformed the estate into a fully modernized retreat while preserving the spirit and craftsmanship of the original camp. Custom Douglas Fir millwork, reclaimed hardwood flooring from an 1880s North Country barn, restored beams, antique heart pine staircases, hand-cut stone fireplaces, and custom cabinetry create interiors rich in warmth and timeless sophistication.
The kitchen features leathered granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a rustic Italian Ilve range, while five fireplaces throughout the residence reinforce the property's historic mountain character.
Positioned near direct access to the Adirondack High Peaks trail system and just minutes from Keene Valley and Lake Placid, Giant View offers immediate proximity to world-class hiking, skiing, climbing, paddling, and fly fishing--an extraordinary Adirondack legacy estate where luxury, history, and wilderness beauty exist in remarkable harmony.
