138 Gifford Valley Road Northampton, NY 12134

Open House Saturday 11-1pm. Nestled on a serene and private 4.2-acre wooded lot just moments from Sacandaga Lake, this charming Cape Cod offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Adirondacks at an accessible price point. The property includes a valuable 10-foot deeded lake access along Route 30 at the end of Gifford Valley Road, perfect for enjoying the water without the high cost of direct waterfront. The main home features 2+ bedrooms, a functional kitchen, and a cozy living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace--ideal for chilly mountain evenings--while a unique spiral staircase leads to a second-floor bedroom complemented by a versatile bonus room that can serve as an office, guest space, or additional sleeping area. A full basement adds practicality with a half bath, laundry area, and utility space. Adding to the property's appeal, a separate structure behind the main home has already been started and is designed for a one-bedroom, one-bath layout with living room and kitchen, offering excellent potential for a guest house, rental income, or extended family living with minimal effort to complete. A large shed provide additional storage, and a generous portion of the land surrounding the home has been thoughtfully cleared, creating usable outdoor space while still maintaining privacy and a natural wooded backdrop. With its peaceful setting, flexible layout, and development potential, this property presents an ideal opportunity for a family compound or Adirondack retreat, with some TLC needed--reflected in the price--making it a compelling value for buyers looking to invest in both lifestyle and location.
