Westward Estate

Wake to the quiet rhythm of Great Sacandaga Lake—soft water against the shoreline, morning light stretching across the middle basin, and the occasional paddleboard or kayak cutting through glassy stillness. Welcome to Westward Estate, an exceptionally maintained Great Sacandaga Lake year-round retreat where thoughtful design, enduring quality, and an unmatched sunset-facing setting come together on one of the lake’s most desirable stretches. Offering 65 feet of privately permitted shoreline access exclusive to the property, this residence captures what lake life is meant to feel like—days spent on the water, evenings watching the sky turn gold and violet, and nights spent under open Adirondack stars. Positioned on the western-facing side of the lake, this is where you experience the true signature of Sacandaga living: unobstructed sunsets dropping directly behind the Adirondack Mountains. While other areas of the lake face sunrise and flatter terrain, this side delivers the dramatic evening light and mountain silhouette that define the region’s most sought-after views. A newly paved driveway leads you through beautifully designed and carefully maintained grounds, where mature landscaping, irrigation, and intentional plantings create a setting that feels established, private, and effortless. Every element reflects consistent care and long-term stewardship. Across the road, a broad stretch of lawn opens toward the lake, where a sandy shoreline, stone steps, and a thoughtfully arranged waterfront create an inviting and effortless connection to Great Sacandaga Lake. Whether launching a kayak at sunrise, spending the afternoon on the water, or gathering lakeside as the sun sets behind the Adirondacks, the setting is designed for both comfort and enjoyment. A professionally installed mooring is already in place, capable of accommodating a larger vessel, providing exceptional flexibility for serious lake living. The dock and waterfront setup allow you to move seamlessly between relaxation and recreation, while the setting itself encourages a slower, more intentional pace of life—coffee in hand in the morning, quiet afternoons on the water, and sunset evenings that feel almost cinematic. Built in 2012 and maintained with exceptional attention, the home reflects pride of ownership throughout. Inside, expansive lake-facing windows frame water and mountain views, filling the home with natural light from morning to evening. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring double wall ovens, a gas cooktop, a well-placed center island with built-in wine storage, and seamless flow into both casual and formal dining spaces. Custom built-ins, comfortable gathering areas, and an easy indoor-outdoor connection create a home that feels both refined and relaxed. A spacious Trex composite deck extends from the main living area and is complemented by a remote-controlled retractable awning, allowing for either full sun or shaded comfort throughout the day. Designed for low-maintenance outdoor living and entertaining, it provides the perfect setting for everything from quiet mornings overlooking the grounds to evenings spent enjoying lake breezes and Adirondack sunsets. The lower level adds exceptional flexibility with guest accommodations, recreation space, a full bath, workshop area, and additional rooms adaptable for extended stays, hobbies, or multi-generational living. Additional highlights include an attached garage, a detached two-car garage, and an outbuilding offering flexible use—ideal for storage or potential conversion to additional accommodations. Together, these spaces provide abundant room for vehicles, watercraft, lake gear, and seasonal storage needs. Located just minutes from Broadalbin shops and within easy reach of New York City, Connecticut, and the Capital Region, Westward Estate offers a rare combination of accessibility and retreat—an estate where every day is shaped
