"Miller Homestead"
This charming stone house was built by the Miller family in 1822 as private residence and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Known as the Miller Homestead,
it is presently used as an Adirondack vacation rental and has an excellent rental history. The home was restored between 1996 and 1999 using historic tools and methods
to maintain its original character. Situated on 80± acres of hills, fields and forested land, the property has an extensive network of hiking, biking and cross country
skiing trails, Stone walls lace the wooded areas, reminding us of the legacy left behind by the early settlers. The property has been posted as a wildlife sanctuary
and abounds with wildlife, including turkey, deer, partridge, fox, rabbit, beaver and a variety of birds and wildflowers in the wetlands on the lower end of the property.
There are mountain views in the back of the house, as well as flower, raspberry, grape and herb gardens on the premises.
