Property Description
Originally dating to the late 1700s and famously known as the Silver Spruce Inn and the historic Sally Miller Smith Retreat, this remarkable property sits on over 9 picturesque acres along the Schroon River, complete with waterfalls, English gardens, a gazebo, and two natural springs.
Designed for entertaining on a grand scale, the commercial-style kitchen features double ovens, generous prep space, and a dumbwaiter for efficient service between floors. The legendary Prohibition-era speakeasy, ''The Tavern,'' showcases fixtures sourced from the original Waldorf Astoria Hotel, creating an unforgettable setting unlike any other. The impressive Great Hall, anchored by a massive stone fireplace, is ideal for weddings, chef's table dinners, wine tastings, private events, and corporate retreats.
Offering approximately 7,560 square feet with 27 rooms, including nine bedrooms (six with private baths), seven fireplaces, two wood stoves, original servant call stations, secret passages, and a historic Glenwood cookstove, the estate seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with modern functionality.
Perfect for a destination restaurant, chef-owned culinary retreat, luxury lodge, wellness retreat, private club, event venue, or an exceptional private residence, this one-of-a-kind property is limited only by your imagination.
A truly rare opportunity to own one of the Adirondacks' most distinctive historic hospitality properties, where timeless character, commercial versatility, and unforgettable guest experiences come together.
Seller may consider owner financing for qualified buyers. Furnishings are negotiable.
