The Island House Estate

A historic Adirondack legacy, the Island House Estate offers a rare, charming foothold on the shore of 5-mile Brant Lake. Including four islands, four residences, and a combination of equestrian and lakefront amenities, the estate spans 212+ acres and over 3/4 mile of shoreline. Built in 2007, the 5,414 sq. ft., 4-bedroom Main House sits at the properties foreground, featuring a hybrid truss and timber frame construction, a chef’s kitchen, a Great Room with a stone gas fireplace, and an expansive primary suite with lake views, a sitting room, and a custom office. A 44′ screened deck is perfect for Adirondack summer living, and a detached oversized garage includes a 972 sq. ft. one-bedroom apartment complete with central air. Below, a private game room provides great opportunities for entertainment. The centerpiece of the estate, the historic 6-bedroom Island House, built in 1886, occupies its own island, with a 5-slip dock, fireplace from Italy, and newly renovated chef’s kitchen. Surrounding porches, both screened and open, take full advantage of the Adirondack skyline. The 6-bedroom Lakeside House, converted from a barn built in 1800, rounds out the property’s residences with beautiful woodwork and uninterrupted views of the beautiful Brant Lake. Additional dwellings include the Caretaker House with a private dock and a Lakeside Garage efficiency apartment. Equestrian amenities include a 4-stall barn with a hayloft, four paddocks, many acres of riding trails, and an outdoor riding arena (336′ x 221′). A Har-Tru clay tennis court, original Great Camp-era log pergola, private sandy beach, and 7-slip dock complete the grounds, with an additional 3-bay garage and tool shed providing added storage and convenience. The timeless estate lies in the perfect location, midway between Lake Placid and Saratoga Springs.
