Where the High Peaks Meet Lake Champlain

Essex County is the heart of the Adirondack wilderness and the historic soul of the Lake Champlain region. Entirely contained within the Adirondack Park, Essex County offers a lifestyle defined by breathtaking natural beauty, world-class outdoor recreation, and a deep-rooted connection to American history.

The Landscape of the High Peaks Home to Mount Marcy (the highest point in New York) and the legendary Olympic Village of Lake Placid, Essex County is a true year-round destination. Whether you are seeking a mountain retreat in Keene Valley, a historic lakeside home in Essex Village, or a quiet acreage in Schroon Lake, the terrain here is as diverse as it is stunning.

A Lifestyle of Adventure and Heritage Life in Essex County moves at a different pace. It’s a place where you can spend your mornings hiking the High Peaks or skiing Whiteface Mountain, and your afternoons exploring the 18th-century architecture of the Hamlet of Essex—one of the most intact collections of Federal and Greek Revival architecture in the country. From the revolutionary history of Fort Ticonderoga to the vibrant arts scene in Saranac Lake, there is a profound sense of place here that you won’t find anywhere else.

Your Essex County Connection Navigating real estate within the Adirondack Park requires a specific set of expertise. From understanding APA (Adirondack Park Agency) regulations to identifying the perfect seasonal or year-round property, I provide the local guidance necessary to make Essex County your home.

Whether you’re looking for a waterfront estate on the shores of Lake Champlain or a cozy cabin tucked away in the mountains, I am here to help you find your piece of the Adirondacks.
