This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own Fort Montgomery, which is a rare and historic property. An incredible 6,900 Feet of Waterfront on magnificient Lake Champlain, NY makes Fort Montgomery Estates one of the largest undivided tracks of lakefront property in the New York / Vermont Lake Champlain Region. A true developers dream !

Fort Montgomery Estates is located between U.S Route 2 & Route 11, Rouses Point (Clinton County), New York,12979. The property is directly adjacent to the Canadian Border.

Dating back to the first half of the 19th century, Fort Montgomery, with over 70 fireplaces, is now available for purchase, offering excellent investment potential for a variety of uses. The imposing stone structure more than 40 feet high is beautifully set out in Lake Champlain and connected to an island measuring approximately 1,300’ in length by 500’ in width. A 700-foot-long causeway connects, the island to the mainland, with 6,900 feet of lake frontage included as part of the offering. In addition, with the purchase of the Fort Montgomery comes ownership of 279.7 acres on the mainland and an additional 86 acres of land under water and that extend 500 feet into Lake Champlain bringing the total to 365.7 acres.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the fort is in need of restoration. Funds may be available through various government agencies for partial or total renovation. Local assistance can also be obtained from the Town of Champlain Local Development Corporation. There are no restrictions on the fort, meaning the new owners can develop it as they see fit. One possible use for the land would be the creation of a marina and luxury condominiums with dramatic views of the lake and mountains in Vermont and New York states; there are no height restrictions for such a development. Potential also exists for commercial development, as the area has proven to be attractive to business.

It enjoys a desirable location on the U.S./Canadian border, only 45 minutes from Montreal, 90 minutes from Lake Placid, NY and one hour from Burlington, Vermont. The property taxes are some of the lowest in New York State; the area crime rate is one of the lowest in the country; and the Village of Rouses Point has one of the lowest municipal electric rates in the United States at only 4 cents per kilowatt hour. Add to this the fact that the entire area retains its small town charms and friendliness, and it is easy to see the opportunity that waits the enterprising new owner.

This is not a commercial endeavor, it is a private undertaking for those interested in a unique setting with diverse potential. Perhaps you'd like to leave the city, make a life change or get involved in a noble project, whatever it is, we'll listen. Presently occupied by the owner/builder as his private retreat and slowly growing into a "Very Spiritual" Organic Raw Food Bed and Breakfast. He may entertain partnership in the Bed and Breakfast, develope a corporate retreat residence, sell you a portion as your personal residence or will consider other possibilities. Additional details and acquisition specifics are to be discussed and negotiated. He invites interested parties to contact him.

ABOUT THE PROPERTY:
Shantideva Temple, situated on 5 acres, sits above a 5000 sq ft courtyard that is adjoined by a 3000 sq ft, 3 level, 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath private log residence. The logs were hauled down from Vermont and the interior construction is entirely wood, most of which was harvested right here on the land. Adjoining the log residence is a 2000 sq. ft. "Green Energy" Barn that has just been erected. Adjoining the Temple property, on 7 acres, is a 2250 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath modified 30x50 ft barn residence with 24 ft ceilings. The eccentricity of design is reflected in the use of a variety of woods and tiles. Cherry floors and walls, flame maple cabinets, stone platforms and massive white and red pine trees co-mingle with a variety of hard and soft woods throughout this outrageous building. The upper bedroom suite overlooks a 1 acre, 14 ft deep pond area landscaped with a perimeter of tumbled flagstone. The pond is situated within a 50+ acre parcel that has a 20 ft high natural waterfall. Massive stones, some weighing over 40 tons, were located around the country and transported to construct the 101 ft diameter stone circle that overlooks a cliff. This vantage point affords the opportunity to watch magnificent sunsets. On the hilltop overlooking the stone circle, is yet another parcel, with a small 300 sq ft log cabin hand carved by Native Americans set upon a stone base and patio. The views are breathtaking. In its entirety, the property encompasses 115+ acres, tied together by over 3 miles of roads. Presently 8 subdivisions; 2 parcels are residences @ $750,000.00 each (one presently occupied by the owner), one parcel has the small cabin @ $350,000.00, another has an outrageous 11 acre "Camp" with a 1500 sq ft. home, out buildings and a pond @ $400,000.00, three are ready to build on from $250,000.00 each and the 50+ acre parcel with the pond, waterfall, Stone Circle and a myriad of trails are to be deeded for private use to the other 7 parcels and will remain wild forever.

LOCATION:
The Temple, residence and adjoining properties are located minutes from downtown Ithaca, New York. Ithaca is the home of the Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies and Du Khor Choe Ling, the Land of Kalachakra Study and Practice, Namgyal's new facility. Namgyal Monastery in Ithaca is the North American Seat of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

The foundation in this home is Superior Wall construction, the highest quality and latest technology in foundations. This is such a unique home with an exceptional footprint that Superior Walls of Warren, Ohio, uses this home in their advertising brochures and their main display at home and garden shows throughout the country. The special high-strength, low water concrete mix ensures that the basement will be dry. The walls are reinforced with steel rebar and polypropylene fibers for strength.

Steel Construction

Steel structure is used throughout this house. In the Great Room, the cherry window wall facing the lakeside is all tubular steel wrapped with wood. The engineers who put the stamp of approval on these blueprints approved them as though this home were being constructed in the snow belt of Buffalo, New York, in order to carry the snow load.

TJI Floor Framing

The floor framing is composed of TJI joists. They are a high-tech combination of microllam laminated veneer lumber (LVL) flanges. The TJI joists feature an efficient shape that enables them to carry large loads over long spans without losing their connection to decking and flooring finishes, such as all the flagstone in the entrance and kitchen area. The flooring is important in the exercise room, where a conventional flooring system would be unable to carry the weight of the Nautilus exercise equipment.

Stick Construction

Most homes are built with trusses because it is less expensive and takes a less skilled tradesperson. The framing in this home is stick. Not everybody can frame a stick home. It is this type of construction that allows a thirty-foot peak in the Great Room. The benefit of stick construction is more space, less wasted space, and aesthetics. The wood materials are microllam framing material and #1 Douglas Fir-Larch.

Gates

There are two sets of security gates. The first is located midway through the entrance driveway. This gate is equipped with a camera system, touch pad, and two-way speakers. This allows the homeowner to view the person at the gate as well as to speak to the persons before allowing them to enter.

The second gate is part of a brick and stone courtyard wall which encloses the entrance to both the garage and courtyard

Floor – Made with tongue & “V” grooved strips of Hard Maple. There are four types of Maple in the floor: Birdseye Maple, Curly Maple, Character Maple, and Clear Maple. The wood strips are at random lengths, & come in four different widths – 2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch, and 5-inch. The border is made of 7 different woods – from the inside out: 3-inch Walnut, 2-inch Birdseye Maple, 2-inch Cherry, 2-inch Character Maple, 3-inch Clear Maple, 2-inch Cherry, and 3-inch Curly Maple. The border follows the contour of the room.

Floor in Front of Fireplace – Maryland Flagstone, representing a stone spill from the stonewall, with a small section of wood in the middle of the spill.

Stonewall – Made of Maryland Fieldstone, which came from the same mountains as the flagstone.

The Sailing Ship above the Fireplace - Is a copy of the pencil artwork in the half-bath in the foyer. These pictures were art projects when Wally was a high school art teacher. A template was made of cardboard, and each piece was numbered. The stonemasons then cut the flagstone and put the puzzle together as the wall was being assembled.

Built-in Cabinetry in the Stone Wall – Made of Natural Cherry. It is the home for the 73-inch Mitsubishi projection television and all the electronics for the Great Room surround sound theater and the outdoor theater.

Lake Side Window Wall- All Natural Cherry. The carpenters referred to it as the wall “From Hell.” Thousands of cuts were made to assemble this piece of art. All the panels were made off site in the carpenter’s New York shop and brought to LakeMilton. The windows are made of reflective bronze glass, which makes it practically impossible to see through the windows from the outside.
