WHITESIDE MOUNTAIN. YOUR FRONT ROW. Some views you drive past. This one stops you cold. From the moment you arrive on the custom paver drive, gas lanterns flickering at the entry, Whiteside Mountain fills the horizon like it was commissioned for this exact property. It wasn't. But it feels that way. 429 Hardscrabble Ridge Road is a brand-new, spec home on 1.79 private acres, with thoughtfully designed, luxury-appointed living space and an unfinished basement with 14-foot ceilings ready to become whatever you dream: home theater, bunk room, gym, wine cellar, or a combination of all four. Those ceilings aren't an accident. They're an invitation. Inside, every finish reflects a decision to build this right or not at all. The custom slate fireplace anchors the living area, wood or gas, your choice. The kitchen carries a luxury appliance package and connects to a fully equipped prep kitchen for serious entertaining. A wet bar with wine cooler and ice machine means the party never has to pause. Eight Sonos speakers mean it never goes quiet. Wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout the main living areas, chosen for its durability in a mountain climate. Four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a loft with its own Samsung TV, a Samsung Frame TV above the fireplace. Above the garage, a versatile bonus room with a full bath adds even more living space: home office, workout room, media room, whatever the next owner needs it to be. Outdoors: a gas firepit, a built-in propane grill system, a professionally designed landscape with a custom water feature, and that mountain, always that mountain, filling the sky above your deck. The main level comes professionally staged with a designer furniture package, available for purchase, negotiated separately. Move in and start living on the main floor, then make the upper level your own. The practical details matter too: Highlands town water with auto shut-off, a 1,000-gallon below grown propane tank, a generator, and fiber internet. A town fire hydrant sits directly across the street. The HOA runs an estimated $2,500 for 2026. The standing seam roof has ice guards. Nothing was an afterthought. New construction with this view of Whiteside Mountain does not come along often. Do not miss your opportunity to call this beautiful property your own.

$2,950,000

A rare 2-home Highlands retreat just 4 minutes from Main Street, this exceptional offering was originally built by renowned local craftsman Ralph Thomas and thoughtfully updated for modern mountain living. Privately set among the trees near the Mirror Lake area, the property spans approximately one acre across two lots and offers an uncommon blend of craftsmanship, flexibility, privacy, recreational access, and income-producing potential. Together, the residences provide approximately 4,500 square feet of interior living space, five bedrooms, five full baths, multiple flexible guest rooms and office spaces, two laundry/utility areas, four full-size refrigerators, and abundant indoor-outdoor living space. More than 2,000 square feet of decking includes a 400-square-foot cathedral-style screened porch, permanent seating areas, two fire pits, an outdoor stove, and peaceful spaces for gathering, dining, or relaxing beneath the tree canopy. The setting is both private and convenient, with winter mountain views, summer forest-canopy vistas, and more than 130 trees planted along the perimeter in 2020 to enhance the secluded feel. A private paved driveway provides access within a quiet enclave adjoining Mirror Lake, while nearby gravel roads, waterfalls, streams, hiking trails, Skyline Lodge, and downtown Highlands place the best of the Plateau close at hand. The primary residence underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2020 while preserving its original Adirondack camp character. Original wormy chestnut cabinetry and wood flooring remain, complemented by Bosch and Liebherr appliances, updated baths, a screened outdoor living area with electric screens, a metal roof, and replacement windows and doors throughout. Additional features include two wood-burning fireplaces, a gas river-rock fireplace, two garages with space for three vehicles, workshop areas, guest parking, high-speed internet service with fiber-optic availability, and a generator serving both homes. The second residence has been upgraded to strengthen rental appeal and has generated up to $60,000 annually in long & short-term rental income. Located outside the Town of Highlands limits, the property benefits from the absence of municipal rental restrictions, offering flexibility for personal use, guest accommodations, or investment income. With two distinct homes, refined updates, original craftsmanship, outdoor living, and proven rental performance, this is a truly distinctive Highlands property.
