Property Description
The Historic Jacob Ford House | Circa 1837 | A Landmark Estate on the St. Lawrence River A rare opportunity to acquire one of the St. Lawrence River's most distinguished historic estates, the circa 1837 Jacob Ford House is an exceptional Late Federal stone residence that embodies timeless elegance and architectural significance. Privately set on approximately seven acres with an impressive 1,253 feet of prime waterfront, this extraordinary property offers a remarkable blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and natural beauty in the heart of the Thousand Islands. The stately limestone residence welcomes guests through a gracious formal foyer, where an elegant interior stair hall, highlighted by a sweeping curved wall and a remarkable curved doorway, sets the tone for the home's refined character. Grand double parlors, a private study, and nine spacious bedrooms are complemented by beautifully preserved period details, including original moldings, decorative cornices, handcrafted fireplace mantels, and exceptional millwork that speak to the artistry of a bygone era. Expansive rooms, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light create an atmosphere of understated sophistication, while every space reflects the enduring quality and craftsmanship of this historic home. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or larger celebrations, the residence offers a setting of uncommon grace and authenticity. The grounds are equally captivating. Sweeping lawns descend to more than 1,253 feet of shoreline along the majestic St. Lawrence River, where panoramic water views, a rare skiff boathouse, and exceptional opportunities for boating, swimming, and waterfront recreation define the outdoor experience. The expansive acreage provides both privacy and the opportunity to enjoy one of the region's most coveted riverfront settings. Rich in history and surrounded by the incomparable beauty of the Thousand Islands, the Jacob Ford House is far more than a residence—it is a legacy property. Opportunities to steward an estate of this architectural distinction, historic importance, and extraordinary waterfront presence are exceptionally rare. Call now for private showing.
