If you know the Great Sacandaga, you already know the appeal. Built in 1959, this meticulously cared-for cottage blends classic midcentury camp charm with thoughtful updates for four-season enjoyment. Set on a half-acre lot shaded by mature maples, it includes 141 feet of permitted shoreline, newly constructed lake-access stairs, a dock, and a mooring ball. Inside, hand-built knotty pine cabinets remain in spectacular condition, while the vintage GE electric oven brings a touch of nostalgia alongside the convenience of a wall-mounted microwave. The living room overlooks the lake with western exposure and spectacular sunsets. A striking wood-burning fireplace anchors the space and is being sold as is. The bathroom has been tastefully updated, and the entire cottage is neat as a pin. Recent improvements include a renovated bathroom, metal roof, well pump, PEX plumbing, high-efficiency cold-climate heat pumps, and a retaining wall. The partial basement is dry, heated, and has a washer and dryer. Outside, a beautiful sitting area with an outdoor fireplace and chairs offers another place to unwind. Two driveways provide access from South Shore Road and the private road, while the potential addition of a deck offers an opportunity to enhance the lake views and outdoor living space. Enjoy the lake all summer or make this your winter snowmobile basecamp. A strong rental history adds to the appeal, and you can walk to dinner and the boat launch at South Shore Dive. The combined taxes are only $1,098 per year, which helps keep carrying costs low. Located south of the Batchellerville Bridge, with convenient access to Northville, Mayfield, and Saratoga via Lake Desolation, this is a classic Sacandaga camp ready for its next chapter. *Agent related to owner*
