Points of Interest and Amenities

Over 3/4 Mile of Shoreline

Commanding more than a 3/4 mile of pristine frontage on Brant Lake, the property offers a scale of waterfront ownership rarely found in the Adirondack Park. Secluded and private, the shoreline unfolds in a graceful sweep along one of Upstate New York’s most treasured lakes, truly an unbroken ribbon of forest, rock, and water that defines the very essence of Adirondack grandeur.

The holding extends beyond the mainland to include several private islands, each with its own shoreline. Whether approached by boat or admired from the shore, the islands offer a sense of discovery and seclusion that few properties can rival.

Private Sandy Beach

A rare and coveted feature along the Adirondack shoreline, the property’s private sandy beach offers a gentle, gradual descent into the clear, mountain-fed waters of Brant Lake. Soft underfoot and naturally graded, the shoreline invites effortless entry, making it ideal for morning swims, afternoons with family, or quiet moments spent at the water’s edge.

Fed by cold Adirondack springs and surrounded by protected forestland, Brant Lake is renowned for its exceptional clarity and pristine condition.

Dockage & Deep-Water Moorage

A thoughtfully designed wood pier system accommodates up to ten watercraft across two distinct locations, offering rare flexibility for boating enthusiasts and entertaining alike. Seven slips extend from the shoreline, providing effortless access from the main residence, while an additional five slips grace the private island—an invitation to arrive by water in the most storied tradition of lake living.

Depths of 8 to 10 feet throughout the moorage ensure accommodation for a full range of vessels, from sleek runabouts to larger cruisers, with no concern for seasonal drawdown. Hand-finished wood piers complement the natural surroundings, lending a timeless, New England sensibility to the waterfront.

Har-Tru Tennis Court

The property includes a full regulation-size tennis court measuring 120′ x 60′, surfaced in Har-Tru — the world’s leading brand of American green clay, made from crushed, angular volcanic stone. Har-Tru courts are known for being faster-drying than other clay surfaces, cooler underfoot in summer, and gentler on joints than hard courts. The slightly slower playing surface encourages longer rallies and more strategic play. Learn more at hartru.com.

Court amenities include a dedicated water fountain supplied by a drilled well and an onsite shed housing the nets and roller for court maintenance. A specialist from Vermont is retained annually to draw the regulation lines, ensuring tournament-ready conditions each season.

Pergola

At the waterfront stands an original log Pergola, believed to be the last of its kind remaining from the many built during the era of the Adirondack Great Camps. Hand-built from logs and weathered by time, it offers a rare and authentic connection to the region’s architectural heritage.
