Shania Twain's Dexter Lake Camp (former)
St. Regis Falls, NY
The Story
Dexter Lake Camp is a private estate of about 3,000 acres in the Town of Waverly, near Santa Clara in New York’s northern Adirondacks. Shania Twain and Mutt Lange once owned it.
Orrando Dexter built the lodge in 1890 as a copy of Albrecht Dürer’s Nuremberg house, per Historic Saranac Lake. He was shot from ambush in 1903, and his killer was never identified.
Twain and Lange bought the estate in 1993, the wiki says, and demolished the old lodge in 1994 to build a new house and recording studio.
The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reported in 1998 that the Adirondack Park Agency settled with Lange over a recording studio built without a permit. The deal cost him $20,000, plus a $25,000 environmental payment.
It is private property, and no public viewpoint is known. Yahoo Lifestyle reports that Terry and Kim Pegula later bought it from Twain and Lange for about half the $9M asking price.
