Overview

Historic waterfront retreat

Nestled on the serene shores of Mountain View Lake, in Owls Head NY, Camp Isabella has been a cherished haven for the Tillson family for over 100 years. Named after the family matriarch, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath camp is a rare gem with a rich history dating back to a time when access was only possible by railway and boat.

This unique, rustic property features original windows and hardwood floors, along with stunning picture windows and porches crafted from materials salvaged from the old Canadian Pacific Railway station in Mt. View, honoring three generations of Tillson’s who worked for the CPR. The camp’s grandfathered proximity to the water is a rare advantage, as any new structure must be built much farther from the shoreline under current APA regulations. Privacy of having the right-of-way marsh next to it – which often has flora such as raspberries, cushion moss, wild wintergreen, Indian cherries, mushrooms and lichens, and great for watching the forest fauna that frequents it (deer, beaver, chipmunks, fishers, stoats, hummingbirds, loons, ducks, and turkeys). Amazing birdwatching by the water and astounding star-gazing at night.

The property boasts 1 acre of direct waterfront, towering white pines, including a magnificent 220+ year-old white pine sheltering the camp, offering a natural sense of grandeur and history. With a 20-year-old metal roof and original first-growth hardwood siding, Camp Isabella is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Adirondack history.

Property is being sold as-is. This property has been owned for 6 generations of Tillson.
