    Description

    Owner says "Sell Now" ! Make your best offer......
    We have recently reduced the price of Fort Montgomery Island Estates to only $995,000 for the Fort Island of 8.1 Acres, 86 Acres of land underwater surrounding the Fort and an additional 260 Acres on the mainland. Totaling over 6,900 linear feet of waterfront property.

    Current property taxes on the entire property are $14,000 per year.

    The Island offers rare access by yacht or by car through a gated, locked, private causeway lined with Oak and Maple trees. On Fort Montgomery Island Estates, you can enjoy a stunning panorama of Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont, one of the most unspoiled waterfront properties on Lake Champlain.

    If you are seeking a peaceful getaway or a serene retreat for relaxing activities with excellent investment potential, Fort Montgomery Island Estates is your ideal location.

    Here are just a few key points that make Fort Montgomery Island Estates a truly unique and powerful investment opportunity :

    - World class development with only 8 homesites providing unobstructed and unbelievable wide lake views with unparalleled privacy. Excellent interval ownership opportunities offering a potential substantial return on investment which is conservatively estimated at more than $15 million.

    - The Island also includes the remaining portion of the 1800s era Fort Montgomery encompassing thousands of tons of Gray Limestone Blocks ready for your construction or restoration project.

    - This limestone originated from the Fisk Quarry located in Isle La Motte, VT which is no longer accessible due to the discovery of one of the world's oldest coral reefs. The Chazy Reef, discovered in this quarry dates back to 450 million years ago.

    - Other limestone blocks from this same quarry were utilized in the construction of monumental buildings such as Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the National Gallery of Art located in Washington, D.C.

    - The Fisk Quarry limestone when smoothed and polished gives a black or nearly black surface and for many years was sold as 'Black' or 'Fisk Black' Marble which has an appearance that is impossible to imitate. Limestone symbolizes style, prestige, and a respect for history that is often missing in the modern world.

    - The property is accessible by land, water, or railroad should the buyer choose to dismantle and extract the finished Limestone Blocks.

    When you enter Fort Montgomery Island Estates, you cross the threshold into a priceless scenic world. Sunrises and sunsets illuminate the sky over picturesque Lake Champlain and a magnificent 6,500 linear feet of nature preserves.

    Fort Montgomery Island Estates is your ideal location. Sailing, Boating, Fishing, Deer and Duck hunting remain activities common to the area. The fantastic expanse of water and access all the way to the Atlantic Ocean will bring out the adventurer in any yachtsman.

    Nature walks and bird watching by Lake Champlain and along the wetlands nature preserve also offer unique sights of wildlife. For those who enjoy a good game of golf, there is a premier course within a short drive of the island with public access.

    Multiple private boat docks can be constructed to accommodate a 60-foot Hatteras or your favorite Bass / Duck Boat. Water depth quickly reaches 8 feet, ensuring safe boat anchoring and launching.

    Fort Montgomery includes deeded road access all the way from US Route 2 to Fort Montgomery. There are no easements or encumbrances on Fort Montgomery which also includes 86 acres of land underwater. The Fort is listed on the National Historic Register but since we have never accepted any Federal or State funds the owner has the ability to restore or completely demolish the structure.

      "Lots of Victorian/Edwardian homes, lots of history, a quaint full service train station, easy access to Canada and Vermont, with scenic views of Lake Champlain. 15 minutes to everything you need in Plattsburgh and a decent hospital. Quick access to highways and backroads. The area has a lot of charm. Even the meth-heads are pleasant. "
