773 Deerland Road, Long Lake, NY 12847

At the south end of Long Lake, this 1980 Adirondack chalet has 192 feet of sandy waterfront and a long view north up the lake toward the bridge. The lakeside lawn sits well above the water, with a sand beach below, good swimming and boating water, and a dock.

Big cedars shade the lakeside deck, while maples shade the front lawn. The porch wraps around the house, with covered areas on the front and sides, a big open deck toward the lake, and a sheltered patio downstairs. There's lawn on three sides of the house, too, with the largest on the lake side overlooking the water.

Inside are wide-plank pine floors, natural woodwork, a brick hearth, and an open kitchen, dining, and living area. There are two bedrooms and one full bath, plus additional sleeping space downstairs that stays cool in summer. The lower level also has a garage, workshop, laundry, and storage.

The chalet is insulated but is a three-season home. It has municipal water, 200-amp electric service, electric heat, and a private septic system. The house sits well below the road, and the grade, setback, and trees provide more separation than you might expect from the map.

The waterfront is directly owned, with access to the beach by a shared deeded walkway and stairs. A survey is available. There are bigger houses on Long Lake, but it would be hard to ask for much more from the land: room under the trees, a lawn above the lake, a long view north, and sand under your feet when you get to the water. Come see if this might be the Long Lake place you've been looking for.
