3/4 Mile of Lake Frontage & Timeless Outdoor Living

The Grounds & Amenities

The grounds of the Island House Estate reveal themselves as a private realm where water, woodland, and thoughtfully curated landscape converge, creating an enduring invitation to outdoor living through every Adirondack season. Few properties offer this breadth of property amenities — a private sandy beach, deep-water dockage, a private tennis court, and an original log pergola — each composed with intention. From sun-warmed mornings along the beach to candlelit suppers beneath the private pergola, every vantage offers its own quiet pleasure.

Points of Interest & 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, this private sandy beach 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 delivers private dockage for 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. This combination of generous dockage and deep-water moorage is rarely found on Brant Lake, and the hand-finished wood piers complement the natural surroundings, lending a timeless, New England sensibility to the waterfront.

Har-Tru Tennis Court

A standout among the estate’s property amenities, the private tennis court is a full regulation-size court measuring 120′ x 60′, surfaced in Har-Tru—the world’s leading brand of American green clay, which is made from crushed, angular volcanic stone. A Har Tru tennis court is prized for drying faster than other clay surfaces, staying cooler underfoot in summer, and being gentler on the joints than hard courts, while its slightly slower playing surface encourages longer rallies and more strategic play. For a buyer seeking a property with tennis court of true championship quality, few private courts in the Adirondacks compare. 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 on the private tennis court, 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, this private pergola—a pergola with roof still intact—offers a rare and authentic connection to the region’s architectural heritage.
