55 St. Regis Carry Road, Paul Smiths

Camp Evergreen presents a rare chance to own a true Adirondack Great Camp with unmatched heritage on Upper St. Regis Lake. Originally known as Evergreen Lodge, this magnificent property was designed in 1907 by renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury for Anna Lusk, a New York socialite and relative of the Louis Comfort Tiffany family. The camp is a masterclass in Queen Anne rustic architecture, combining shingle and stick-style design with handcrafted elements including a stone foundation, fir-paneled interiors, diamond-pane windows, and beams hewn from trees on the property itself.Positioned gracefully along the shoreline to complement the land's natural contours, Evergreen is surrounded by towering white pines, hemlocks, and spruce. The house was cleverly designed so its primary rooms and wide covered porches capture expansive views of the lake and surrounding forest. Two master suites, each with its own fireplace and balcony, reflect the elegance of the Gilded Age.A standout feature is the historic dry boathouse with a covered porch--a gathering place offering panoramic lake views just steps from the main camp. Nearby are other legendary compounds such as Topridge and Camp Katia, placing Evergreen in the company of the most storied properties in the region.The estate offers direct access to NYS Forest Preserve lands, perfect for hiking, paddling, and quiet exploration. The current owners have stewarded this property for over 100 years.As historian Craig Gilborn, author of Adirondack Camps, once wrote: ''Great Camps like Evergreen were designed not just to house, but to inspire--blending rusticity with refinement in a way found nowhere else in America.''With a prime location on one of the Adirondacks' most prestigious lakes, proximity to other historic camps, and an unparalleled architectural pedigree, Camp Evergreen offers the next owner the opportunity to be part of a remarkable legacy--and to preserve, restore, or reimagine a Great Camp.
