This unique memorable retreat awaits you! Magic and tranquility envelope our beautiful private home built in 2011, located only five minutes by boat from Alexandria Bay, NY. Nestled on a hill, privately surrounded on 3 sides by a cozy woodland, and by a rocky shoreline with extraordinary views of the St Lawrence Seaway. Large boathouse with 2 boat slips under cover, and 2 slips on either outer side. The boathouse also has an upper enclosed level entertaining area with outdoor porch/deck. Stairways or uphill walkway lead from the boathouse to the main house. An impressive stone stairway leads to the main entrance door. Plenty of amenities including WiFi, a large screen smart TV for streaming your favorite subscriptions, dishwasher, wine cooler, cozy wood stove, and AC/heat. The water system is potable, filtered by a UV System. Rooms include a separate laundry room, eat-in kitchen, large dining table, 2 separated living areas, 3 bedrooms plus a pull out Queen bed in lower living area. Luxuriant screened-in porch room to enjoy the sounds of the evening, a front patio deck to sip your morning Nespresso while watching the passing ships, and a back patio deck with a Webber charcoal grill and dining table all connected by a walkway surrounding the upper level of the home. The feeling of magic encompasses the Fairyland Island landscape with stone pathways, old flower beds, and stairways - most originating in the late 1800’s, all around the grounds. A small stone stairway located behind the home’s back deck leads to a private gazebo originally built as a small art studio. Please be advised that there is the equivalent of 4 flights of stairs from boat docking to the main floor of the house. A pull cart is available in the boathouse to aid in carrying belongings to the stairway of the main entrance.
