A private island on one of America’s most scenic lakes has gone on the market for $15million.
The 3.3-acre isle, which lies in Lake George in upstate New York, offers its new owner a private sandy beach, 2,700ft of lakefront and stunning views of the surrounding lake and mountains.
The centerpiece of the island is a luxurious 15-bedroom mansion, which includes a formal dining room, a billiards room and a ball room. A whole wing of the house serves as a master bedroom suite with a private balcony.
There is also a separate, four-bedroom stone cottage, two separate two-bedroom apartments and a boathouse, as well as a diving board and a rope swing for adventurous guests.
