Adirondack Real Estate, Vacation Rentals and Timeshares Offered By Owner including Lake Placid, Lake George, Old Forge, Saranac Lake, Lake Champlain, Tupper Lake

DESCRIPTION
Secluded 400 foot waterfront retreat. Fox Grove is a secluded four bedroom year round home with two additional outbuildings located directly on Osgood Lake. Fox Grove is the only rental on Osgood Lake at water level. There is also a small, gradual descent, sunny, sandy beach for swimming. No need to hike up and down the hill every time to access the water. The property includes a 50 foot dock that has good visibility to the beach so it is easy to watch children playing on the beach.

The main house is surrounded by a 75' high hill, 600' away from the main road. Cars going by cannot be heard or seen; access from main highway is excellent. Fox Grove is decorated in the Adirondack style which is indigenous to the area, in some cases unique and one of a kind antiques. All buildings are uniquely woven into the wooded shoreline. There is an inside and outside fireplace right on the water. There is an outside deck and picnic area. The house is designed to be warm and cozy whether one person or seven people occupy it. The kitchen and bathroom are fully applianced.

The main house consists of two floors connected by an antique staircase. The staircase came from the Keith Theatre (a vaudeville theatre in Boston, it went from the orchestra pit to the stage). The house is completely screened and has electric zoned heat. The first floor is split level where all the common areas are located with magnificent lake level views. All bedrooms are located on the second floor, allowing full use of the house facilities while maintaining the quiet sanctity of the bedrooms. There are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom. The main house directly faces undeveloped forever wild area and is surrounded by thousands of acres of state land.

There is also the point house on martini point which is one of the most charismatic spots on the lake. It sits right at the head of the lake with a direct view down the lake from its deck and swing. Outstanding for sunsets, cocktails, general viewing (great northern lights in season), and occasional overnights for two adults. It has the most unbelievable sunset views over water that you can imagine. There is also a boat house. A 14' canoe is available for use.

Osgood Lake (approximately two square miles) connects to other lakes, ponds, and extensive canoe and guide boat routes by way of three waterways, including the "Osgood River" (outlet of Osgood Lake).

As described by Paul Jamieson in "North Flow Adirondack Canoe Waters", "The Osgood is miniature river.. .one of the most delightful cruising streams in the Adirondacks.. .The Osgood is untouched by development.. .a specimen garden of the North Woods.. .rich in interest to the amateur botanist, geologist, and ornithologist or to any lover of uneven ground and moving water."

Two privately maintained hiking trails and three Adirondack lean-tos are also directly accessible from Osgood Lake. Osgood Lake has been twice described by the N.Y. Times as one of the 10 best spots to fish in New York State.
