You and your bros could own a piece of booze history if you all chip in to buy Whiskey Island.
The 3.1-acre island served as an undercover spot for bootleggers to sneak whiskey into New York from Canada during Prohibition.
Here’s more about Whiskey Island:
Sited amongst one of the most magnificent stretches of freshwater scenery in the world, this 3.1 acre island includes a completely renovated (approx. 1875) main lodge with 8 bedrooms, 4 baths, a commercial kitchen, a family room, a library/office and numerous screened and open porches. Ancillary structures include a 2-bedroom guest cottage, a new 2 slip boathouse, deepwater docks and swim deck. Panoramic river vistas, privacy and a superior harbor make Whiskey Island a rare opportunity for the purchase of island property.
Whiskey Island is located at the southwestern end of the Thousand Islands at the head of Grindstone Island nestled along the northern edge of upstate New York and minutes from the Canadian border. Ottawa is just 1.5 hours by car; Montreal is 2.5 hours and Toronto is 3 hours. Clayton is 1.5 hours by car from Syracuse and 2.5 hours from Rochester.
Whiskey Island retains its name from the time of the prohibition when it was used by smugglers bringing alcoholic beverages across the US/Canadian border.
The place sounds sick and imagine some of the things buried around that island. Imagine some of the PEOPLE buried around that island.
