The Huntington Motel and Cottages presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine 85+ acres of prime Adirondack land in the heart of Wilmington, just a half-mile from the entrance to Whiteface Mountain and steps from the renowned West Branch of the Ausable River. Spanning two parcels with favorable 1.3-acre APA zoning, public water access, and location within the Lake Placid School District, this property offers incredible potential for development, conservation, or a private retreat. While the existing caretaker's home, owner's residence, former boutique motel, and four cottages are in disrepair and ready for removal, the land itself tells a different story. The property rises up the mountainside, offering stunning views of Whiteface Mountain, abundant streams, and direct access to nature. Imagine creating a community with private hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and outdoor amenities that celebrate the serenity and natural beauty of the Adirondacks. Wildlife abounds, and the quiet setting makes it a peaceful escape while remaining close to restaurants like the Hungry Trout, Ironman bike route, and world-class skiing, hiking, and fishing. Additionally, this property backs up to a 78.5-acre parcel also for sale, making it quite possibly the largest development opportunity in Wilmington. Whether you're an investor, developer, or conservationist, this is a rare chance to shape the future of a beloved mountain town and create something truly special.
