Experience the Legacy: Great Camp Red Roost

For the first time in 75 years, an extraordinary opportunity awaits. Nestled at the secluded end of Hutchinson Road on the pristine north shore of Canada Lake, Great Camp Red Roost is now available for discerning buyers who appreciate a timeless blend of history, tranquility, and natural beauty.

A Timeless Retreat with Modern Amenities

Originally built by State Senator E. Hutchinson and cherished by the Yuenger Family, this chalet-style great camp has been well-maintained, offering a glimpse into the past while seamlessly integrating modern updates. The estate includes the main Great Camp with four bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a kitchen, dining room, great room, deck, and a wrap-around porch. Additionally, a fully winterized Guest House Studio, an open Boat house with a roof-top deck, a two-car garage, carport, garage/workshop, sheds, and a well house complete this family compound.

Canada Lake – Your Private Oasis

Situated in the Southern Adirondacks, Canada Lake is a 554-acre gem with 187.5 feet of private (non-shared) frontage directly in front of the Camp. The lake, featuring quiet coves and mountain-fed waters, connects to West Lake and Green Lake. Water height is controlled by the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation at Stewart’s Landing to the south via Lilly Lake. The southwestern shore, Lilly Lake and outlet are mainly NYS Lands with camping opportunities. Explore the surroundings, including the picturesque island just a paddle away, or enjoy convenient access to a public boat launch and a full-service marina with shoreside fuel.

Proximity to Services and Activities

Red Roost offers the best of both worlds: the charm of the Adirondacks and the convenience of nearby amenities. Nearby healthcare options such as Nathan Littauer Hospital and its local Caroga Lake Clinic plus nearby Bassett Healthcare Clinic and Wynn Hospital are a comfort in times of emergency. Additionally shopping and services in Caroga Lake and nearby towns, you'll find everything you need just a short drive away.

Year-Round Adventures at Your Doorstep

From hiking the nearby New York State Department of Environmental Conservation trails including a neighboring fire tower to skiing at Royal Mountain, Oak Mountain, and Gore Mountain, there's no shortage of outdoor activities. Enjoy the Nick Stoner Municipal 18-hole golf course, walks along Kasson Drive, and cultural events like the Caroga Lake Music Festival, Saratoga Performing Art Center or the Glimmerglass Festival. Horse racing fans will like the proximity to Saratoga Racetrack and Harness Track. Centrally located to museums such as Canajoharie’s Arkell, Cooperstown’s Baseball Hall of Fame, Fenimore Art Museum, The Farmers’ Museum and Historic Hyde Hall and Blue Mountain Lake’s Adirondack Museum there are plenty of destinations to explore.
