Offered for the first time in 35 years, Camp Firefly sits high along Rugged Ridge Way with huge, sweeping views of the Great Range--from Marcy to Giant and everything in between--on a private, wooded 1.8-acre setting in the heart of the High Peaks. Renovated in 2000, the single-story camp is thoughtfully scaled, with 2,065 square feet arranged for easy, one-level living and a spacious sleeping loft. The East Wing of the home was built in the late 1980s and was substantially renovated by the present owner. The East Wing consists of a kitchen, living and dining area, a full bathroom and bedroom plus a spacious sleeping loft. The wood-burning fireplace anchors this side of the home, and a mountain panorama frames the room. The West Wing, built in 2002, consists of a Great Room, primary bedroom and en-suite bathroom, a cedar-lined walk-in closet, and the heartbeat of the home--a spacious, screened-in porch set among the trees and facing the mountains. Two additional porches offer spots to take in the mountain air, while a detached utility shed adds practical storage. Private well and septic systems, combined with efficient electric and propane heat, round out a low-maintenance package well suited to full-time or seasonal Adirondack living. Nearly all the furniture is included with the home. Just a short distance from the trailheads, swimming holes, and village center that define Keene Valley life, Camp Firefly is an easy, unfussy escape with one of the most dramatic High Peaks backdrops on the market.

A two-bedroom, one-bath apartment occupies the second floor, offering either owner-operator housing or a stable rental income stream independent of the retail business below. Mechanically, the building is current, with three mini-split systems providing zoned heating and cooling, a Buderus furnace as primary heat, and a whole-property generator for continuity through outages.

The grounds include a detached garage, utility shed, pole barn, and hoop-house greenhouse actively used for bedding plants and hanging baskets. Level lawn to the rear offers room for additional growing space, parking expansion, or accessory structures.
