Property Description
The Fort HouseSteeped in history and legend, The Fort House is said to have been built using stones from Fort Ticonderoga. As the fort fell into disuse in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, local settlers repurposed its stones for new construction. According to historians, this remarkable home was built by a prominent Scottish settler family who crafted it in the style of a traditional stone residence. With only a handful of owners since its creation, much of its historic charm and character have been carefully preserved. Recognized for its significance, the home was honored with the Washington County Historic Preservation Award and has remained a cherished local landmark for centuries.Located in Putnam Station, NY, The Fort House offers a timeless blend of history and modern livability. It features three bedrooms, along with an additional expansive room that can be adapted as a fourth bedroom or reimagined to suit a new family's needs. In the warmer months, the carefully curated perennial gardens burst into full bloom, providing continuous color and beauty throughout spring and summer. A large barn on the property offers flexible space that could be used for animals, equipment, or storage. For those seeking additional land, adjoining acreage is available upon request.Ideally situated between Lake George and Lake Champlain, The Fort House is just minutes from the shores of both lakes, providing easy access for boating, fishing, and lakeside relaxation. Gull Bay Beach and the Lake George boat launch are less than ten minutes away, while the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondacks offer stunning scenery and endless outdoor recreation. In the winter months, the home's location provides easy access to multiple ski resorts, with renowned skiing and snowboarding destinations just a short drive away. Conveniently located less than 15 minutes from the town of Ticonderoga, which offers an Amtrak station for easy travel access. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, peaceful country living, or a quiet retreat away from the bustle of city life, The Fort House offers the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the beauty of every season.
