Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Wilmington, New York
163 Mountain View Ln, Wilmington, NY 12997
Set on 32 private acres bordering state land, just minutes from Whiteface Mountain and a short drive to Lake Placid, this exceptional Adirondack property offers a rare combination of privacy, space, craftsmanship, and flexibility. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, the nearly 4,500-square-foot home includes a private guest apartment completed in 2025, with its own entrance, kitchen, and laundry--ideal for extended family, guests, or potential short-term rental use. Built with an uncompromising focus on quality and longevity, the main residence features hand-finished white oak floors, soaring ceilings, a spectacular chef's kitchen with professional-grade appliances, beautifully appointed baths, and custom artisan details throughout. Generous living spaces and a thoughtful floor plan make the home equally suited to quiet mountain weekends and gathering family and friends. The property's infrastructure is just as impressive: geothermal heating and cooling, 48 solar panels, whole-home battery backup, and backup propane provide an unusually robust and efficient energy system for four-season Adirondack living. Outside, 32 wooded acres create a remarkable sense of seclusion while bordering protected state land. A bluestone porch, extensive outdoor living spaces, and a professionally constructed and illuminated toboggan run make the property as compelling outdoors as it is inside.
