Nestled on 61+ acres along Lake Champlains Adirondack Coast, Rosslyn blends historic charm with modern luxury. This in-town country estate underwent a meticulous 18-year restoration, preserving its circa 1820 Federal/Georgian architecture with Greek Revival elements. The compound encompasses four 19 th century buildings: a six-bedroom, six-bath 6,800 sq ft main home, a large carriage barn, a renovated ice house with full bath and office loft, and an iconic boathouse along 275 feet of landscaped, sandy beach waterfront with grounding panoramic lake and mountain views. In addition, the offering includes a deeded building right for an additional
residence.
The complete restoration is a marriage of poetry and design between writer and green designer
owners. The home retains a rare blend of original post-colonial layout and period-appropriate, bespoke details with non-toxic and FSC certified materials. Rosslyn boasts four finished stories, nine fireplaces, wood and marble floors, a chef's kitchen, radiant heat, a 2,000 bottle wine cellar, fitness room, four private view-filled bedrooms with en-suite baths, and two flex rooms.
Outdoor entertainment venues abound with over 3,300 sq ft of furnished decks and terraces. 4+acres of sprawling fenced-in grounds feature an heirloom orchard, perennial flower beds, organic vegetable garden, grapevines, and hand-cut 19 th century local stone walls and terraces. Year round on-property activities include swimming, paddling, gardening, hiking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing, amidst private waterfront, and nature trails in meadows and woodlands, all in a personal wildlife sanctuary.
Located on Merchant Row in historic Essex, NY, Rosslyn is a turn-key oasis, steps away from
the idyllic town center, a short ferry ride to Vermont, and 90 minutes from Montreal. Rosslyn
offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of living history on the nation's 6 th largest
lake.
