These are the highest-priced home sales reported in Adirondack–Champlain Valley, New York, for the week ending November 1, 2026, and together they total $5.535 million. Three of the homes are in Essex County, with one each in Hamilton and Franklin counties. The list moves from village homes a short walk from shops and restaurants to wooded acreage in the mountains and on the water, and the last two sales tied at $850,000.
No. 1 — $1,885,000 · 202 Victor Herbert Rd, Lake Placid, New York
The top sale of the week was a newly built contemporary home at 202 Victor Herbert Road in Lake Placid, which sold for $1,885,000. Completed in 2024, it looks out on Lake Placid and the mountains around it, and the village is within walking distance.
Stone fireplaces that rise from floor to ceiling set the tone inside. There are three of them, and one is in the primary suite, which also has its own screened porch. Another anchors the open kitchen, living and dining area, where the wet bar comes with a wine cooler and an ice maker. The kitchen has Thermador stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, a large quartz island and a built-in espresso machine. A loft, reached by a ladder, looks down on the living room.
At 5,410 square feet, it is the largest of the five homes, set on the smallest lot, a 0.28-acre corner parcel. It has five bedrooms, four of them with their own bathrooms, and six bathrooms in all, five full and one half. Three of the bedrooms are on the main level. The finished lower level opens to the outdoors and has a gym and a second wine fridge. Radiant in-floor heat warms the home, decks and a patio take in the views, and an oversized garage has room for two cars. The property last sold for $285,000 in 2020, before the current home was built.
Karen L Mergenthaler of Merrill L. Thomas, Inc. was the listing agent, and Michael Martineau of Merrill L. Thomas, Inc. represented the buyer. Merrill L. Thomas, Inc. also listed the week’s third-ranked sale, in Elizabethtown.

No. 2 — $990,000 · 13 Dock Street, Schroon Lake, New York
On a corner lot in Schroon Lake village, beside the public park and boat launch, the home at 13 Dock Street sold for $990,000. Built in 1850, it is the oldest of the five. The stucco home is a restored Renaissance Revival design with views of the lake and the mountains, and the beach, the restaurants and shops of Main Street, and concerts in the park are all within walking distance.
Lake views sweep roughly 270 degrees across the main level, which has the kitchen with its island, a dining area and the primary suite, whose bathroom has heated floors. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a lounge that doubles as an office and opens to a private balcony facing the lake. The entry level adds a billiards room and a full bar. Below, a separate two-bedroom, one-bath apartment has its own entrance.
In all, the home has six bedrooms, the most on the list, and six bathrooms, four full and two half, in 3,428 square feet on 0.40 acres. The property last sold for $760,000 in 2021.
The home went under contract 18 days after it was listed. Jeremy DeGrasse of 518 Realty.Com Inc listed it with The Jamie Mattison Team, also of 518 Realty.Com Inc, and DeGrasse also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.

No. 3 — $960,000 · 9316 Nys Rte #9N, Elizabethtown, New York
The Owl Head Lookout trailhead is directly across the road from the Elizabethtown home that sold for $960,000.

Cobble Hill Golf Course and Elizabethtown’s restaurants, shops and hospital are nearby.
The centerpiece is the cathedral living room and its two-story fireplace of natural stone, which burns wood. The kitchen and dining areas open to a large deck and a screened porch. The home has four bedrooms, one of them on the main level, and three bathrooms, two full and one half, in 2,700 square feet. A two-story garage has space for two cars and a spacious upper level.
Kasey Douglass of Merrill L. Thomas, Inc. and Robert (Roby) Politi of Merrill L. Thomas, Inc. were the listing agents, and the home went under contract 18 days after it came on the market.

No. 4 — $850,000 · 80 Jim Bird Ln, Long Lake, New York
With 190 feet of frontage on Long Lake and a dock, the Adirondack home at 80 Jim Bird Lane sold for $850,000. It sits on 3.50 wooded, private acres on the north side of the lake, and the land slopes gradually down to a sandy shoreline suited to swimming and boating.
Built in 1992, the home has a large deck that wraps around its lake side, with the water showing through the trees. The living room has oak floors, a cathedral ceiling, natural woodwork and a fireplace. Upstairs, space first planned for two bedrooms became a single large primary suite with a full bath, a big closet and a separate room for a hot tub. The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,738 square feet, the smallest of the five. Some finish work remains: a few windows and doors still need casing and trim, and flooring has yet to be installed in a few areas.
A detached garage has two large bays, an attached carport and a workshop on its second floor.
The home went under contract 13 days after it was listed. Caleb Thompson of Long Lake Real Estate was the listing agent, and Anne Brewer of Merrill L. Thomas, Inc. represented the buyer.
