Adirondack Land: Own a Piece Of Lapland Lake

Several stunning lake front building lots and building lots with lake rights have been made available here at Lapland Lake. Offerings such as this are extremely rare. All lots available for sale are lake front or have deeded lake rights.

Four lots have already been sold. Seven lots with lake rights remain, reduced in price and now offered from $85,000 to $98,000. These lots range in size from under an acre to an acre-and-a-half.

Four highly desirable and exclusive lake front lots are also available. These four lots range in size from 1-1/4 acres to 2-1/2 acres. Three of these have been reduced to $295,000 and the fourth, which has an amazing 290 feet of lake frontage, has been reduced to $350,000. Please inquire regarding details on these one-of-a-kind lake front properties.

Multi-year contracts of sale are available. Please inquire if you are interested in the financial flexibility this type of contract affords.

Several of the existing homes at Lapland Lake are pictured here (but none are for sale - their owners love it here)!  In fact, no improved building lot has ever been resold. Clearly, our neighbors enjoy their Lapland Lake homes and feel they have made wise investments. One family even recently purchased a second building lot! But we felt the photos would help you to imagine yourself in your own private, cozy four-season cottage or custom dream home....

All lots have been approved by the Adirondack Park Agency for single-family dwellings and have been approved for private septic systems and individual wells. Electricity is available from the adjacent roadway. Property owners have deeded rights to the Association Lot and beach front at Woods Lake for swimming and relaxing.

The Lapland Lake Homeowners' Association owns a second lakefront lot with a dock where members may store their rowboats, canoes and/or kayaks. Free use of the cross country ski trail system is included for the original purchasers of each parcel. If a parcel is re-sold, successive owners would be required to pay for a Season Pass membership at the prevailing rates.

Homes are built of log or other natural wood siding and painted or stained in earth-tone colors. To protect everyone's privacy, they are set-back from property borders and only clear-cutting as necessary for dwelling construction is permitted. Rental of homes is not permitted as we have developed and wish to maintain a close-knit permanent community here. Homeowners share in the maintenance and snow plowing of common roadways.

The Lapland Lake Homeowners' Association is incorporated and abides by a set of bylaws; members pay annual dues. We will be pleased to forward a copy of the bylaws for your review.

The homes shown here have all been built by couples or families who purchased lots from us (excluding Ann and Olavi's home as we already owned the land). Some of the homes are more than 20 years old.

We are so very pleased with this wonderful community of neighbors and look forward to a limited expansion of this special group. If you are interested in becoming one of the fortunate few who own property here, please contact us, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you further and, if your time permits, to give you a detailed tour.

About the Area

Lapland Lake is located in the southern tier of the Adirondack Park, the largest park in the continental United States - ideally situated for those seeking a vacation or retirement home. The lands within the park are carefully regulated by the Adirondack Park Agency to preserve the Park's history, beauty and abundant natural resources.

As a homeowner you will have an amazing array of four-season recreational activities right out your front door.  Imagine skiing this winter on Lapland Lake's meticulously groomed cross country ski trails! The 38km trail system is groomed daily using a fleet of state-of-the-art grooming equipment including a powerful 2010 Prinoth Husky snowcat. 12km of trails are marked and mapped for the exclusive use of snowshoers. Night skiing, tubing, ice-skating, kick-sledding and wilderness ski touring round out the slate of winter options. Enjoy lunch service at our Tuulen Tupa Grill. Saturdays feature wonderful dinner service and occasional live entertainment. The winter season typically spans the end of November or early part of December through March and often into April.

As spring arrives so does the opportunity for fishing at Woods Lake and at on-site streams.  Smallmouth bass, perch, pickerel, bullhead and lake trout populate Woods Lake with brook trout in the streams. Grant Lake, a stocked wilderness lake, is a lovely walk over state-owned land and offers additional fishing opportunities. Lapland Lake is only 9 miles from the Great Sacandaga Lake. This body of water holds the world record for pike!

Summer in the Adirondacks!  Swim, fish, canoe and kayak on Woods Lake, a virtually untouched motor-free, 70-acre spring fed wilderness lake.  The waters are crystal clear and our sandy beach is the perfect place to soak up the sun's warmth.  Hike, mountain bike, enjoy the antics of the resident loon and beaver families, watch as kingfisher and the majestic blue heron swoop over the water - take it all in!  Brilliant star-filled nights will take your breath away! Imagine relaxing on your porch - the only noise the chirping of peepers or the hoot of an owl.  Heaven.

The Autumn season is amazing; fall colors are spectacular.  September begins with summer weather, and by mid-month colors have begun to change. You can still enjoy swimming in Woods Lake until mid to late September. Throughout Autumn hiking, mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking remain wonderful activities. The nights grow crisp - stoke up your woodstove and settle in for a cozy evening in front of a roaring fire with a good book and an even better glass of wine.

All seasons offer an unparalleled degree of peace and privacy. A restrictive covenant protects the entire property including the  lake from motorized ATV's, snowmobiles, motorboats, jet skis and the like (excluding machines required for grooming trails). You can truly hear the sounds of nature without intrusive man-made noise.

And what an amazing location!  Lapland Lake is just over an hour from the Albany (1 hour and 15 minutes from the Albany International Airport), an hour from Saratoga Springs with its famous racetrack, extraordinary restaurants, shopping, spas and extensive cultural offerings. The Adirondack Museum is also just over an hour's drive in Blue Mountain Lake, and the High Peaks Region just over two hours north. Only four hours to the south is New York City; four hours to the north Montreal; four hours to the east Boston. Cooperstown is 1-1/2 hours and the Finger Lakes region is a 3-1/2 hour drive.

The Lapland Lake Homeowners Association is comprised of a wonderful group of people who share a love of nature and the outdoors. Currently 12 families have homes here with two other families planning to build at some point in the future (there is no required time frame for construction after you have purchased a building lot). Active folks, they come from a wide variety of backgrounds and careers. Thus far, Ann and Olavi are the only year round residents here. All others are second homes...for now. But we expect and hope that a few of our neighbors will take up year round residence before too long!  Won't you join us?
