There’s something undeniably special about the Adirondacks. The quiet beauty of the forest, the stillness of the lakes, and the grandeur of the mountains make this region of Upstate New York a dream setting for a seasonal getaway or a forever home. Whether you’re envisioning a secluded lakefront cabin, a timber frame retreat, or a full-scale legacy home, designing and building a custom home in the Adirondacks comes with its own unique set of considerations—from remote sites and challenging terrain to protecting natural features and meeting regional building codes.
That’s where Beaver Mountain comes in.
With over 40 years of experience, Beaver Mountain has helped hundreds of families bring their Adirondack custom homes to life. As a full-service provider of premium log and timber frame home packages, we offer far more than materials—we provide a personalized, guided experience that makes building a home in the Adirondacks more enjoyable, efficient, and stress-free.
Custom Designs That Respect the Landscape
We believe every home should feel like it belongs. Our site-specific home design process ensures your custom home is thoughtfully tailored to your land, your lifestyle, and the surrounding Adirondack Mountains. Whether you’re building on a sloped lot in Old Forge, a wooded site in Blue Mountain Lake, or a lakefront property near Lake George, we’ll help your vision come to life while honoring the natural character of your site.
In-House Engineering & Design Team
Building in the Adirondacks means planning for all four seasons—and all four extremes. Our in-house architectural and engineering team understands the demands of the Adirondack climate and is well-versed in some of the most rigorous energy codes in the Northeast. Every Beaver Mountain home is designed to meet or exceed these standards, helping you enjoy year-round comfort while minimizing long-term maintenance. If you’re looking for an energy-efficient home in the Adirondacks that’s built to last, you’re in the right place.
Building Systems for Remote Sites
Our custom building systems—whether pre-framed timber construction or 10″x8″ solid log walls—are ideal for the challenges of Adirondack building. Delivered to your site ready for efficient assembly, our systems minimize waste and reduce labor time, which is especially beneficial in remote areas or during shorter building seasons. Whether you’re working with a local builder or a trusted contractor from home, our team is here to support a smooth construction process from delivery through completion.
Personalized Guidance from Start to Finish
At Beaver Mountain, we know that building a custom home is a major investment—not just financially, but emotionally too. That’s why we prioritize clear communication, collaborative planning, and dedicated support from day one. From your initial design consultation to delivery coordination and beyond, our team will walk with you every step of the way. We’ll help you understand local permitting processes, suggest strategies for maximizing views and natural light, and work directly with your builder to avoid delays or surprises.
Local Expertise You Can Trust
We know the Adirondacks because we’ve worked here for decades. From understanding the unique permitting processes to designing homes that meet the demands of mountain living, we bring hard-to-beat building knowledge.
