The Chapin Estate homes

Within the gates of The Chapin Estate stands magnificent lakefront mansions comprised of rough-hewn beams and massive stone fireplaces to replicate the Adirondack Great Camp style. No details are sparred on these masterfully built homes. To give a little history, in 1891 Chester W. Chapin Purchased 18,000 acres of untouched woodland, a part of which became the Chapin Estate. The land, however, only became a private gated community in the early 2000s and has grown rapidly over the past few years. Lakefront homes, on the Toronto and Swinging Bridge reservoirs, can range in price from one to four million while those set back from the water are a little less. With this development came extensive covenants to ensure environmental preservation. Every home is designed with privacy in mind. Certain trees are left untouched making lakefront homes hard to spot even from the lake. Enjoy several of the amenities within the gated community such as wooded trails, concierge, the outdoor arena, riding lessons and the horse barn, the pavilion, a lakeside deck, docks, tennis court, half basketball court, and pickleball courts.
