About this property
Kenjockety is one of the Adirondacks' most remarkable waterfront estates, a rare combination of architectural significance, artistic heritage, and natural beauty set along the shores of Lake Champlain. Built in 1910 in the Prairie Style and later listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property has served as the home and creative retreat of acclaimed artists Ellen Phelan and Joel Shapiro since 1984. Following the estate's historic designation, renowned landscape architect Dan Kiley was commissioned to create a series of Modernist gardens that seamlessly connect the main residence, waterfront, outbuildings, and surrounding fields. His masterful design established a landscape of sculpted vistas, formal geometry, and natural beauty that remains among the finest private garden compositions in the region. The estate reflects the artistic vision of its owners at every turn. Shapiro transformed the massive two story carriage house into a sculpture studio and woodworking shop with a private two bedroom apartment above. Along the shoreline, the exceptionally rare two story boathouse became both inspiration and workspace, with Phelan creating a light filled studio overlooking Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains of Vermont. Within the main residence, the primary suite connects directly to two adjoining artist studies, offering an extraordinary environment for creativity and reflection. Encompassing approximately 20 acres on historic Barber Point, Kenjockety offers a rare blend of open meadows, mature forests, formal gardens, and private Lake Champlain frontage. The gently rolling topography creates a natural transition from the residence to the water's edge, framed by sweeping views across the lake to Vermont's Green Mountainsplemented by a carriage house, boathouse, icehouse, pumphouse, and additional supporting structures, the estate represents an irreplaceable waterfront compound.
