Classic Adirondack character, a beautiful wooded setting, and an excellent location come together at 51 Hochsteig Lane in Jay. Situated near the entrance to Ausable Acres, only 2-minutes from Rt 86, this well-maintained 1970s chalet offers three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,322 square feet of comfortable living space, with the warmth and architectural character that make these homes so appealing. The centerpiece of the home is its open living and dining area, where a dramatic 19-foot cathedral ceiling, exposed wood beams, and a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace create an inviting gathering space. Expansive windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding forest, while warm wood finishes preserve the home's original Adirondack character. A spacious upper-level loft adds to the home's distinctive layout, and a mini-split system provides additional heating and cooling comfort. Outdoor living is a natural extension of the home, with an expansive front deck overlooking the wooded surroundings and a generous screened porch offering another comfortable space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. Just five minutes from downtown Jay and approximately 25 minutes from Whiteface Mountain, the location makes it easy to enjoy everything the region has to offer throughout the year. Optional membership in the Ausable Acres Property Owners Association provides access to community trails, shared amenities, and Lake Eaton. Well cared for and thoughtfully preserved, this classic chalet is equally suited as a year-round residence, Adirondack getaway, or vacation rental. With its distinctive architecture, generous outdoor living spaces, and convenient location, 51 Hochsteig Lane offers an authentic Adirondack experience in one of the area's established recreational communities.
