Elizabeth Miller has listed her 945-acre West Fort Ann property for almost $15 million, FoothillsBusinessDaily.com has learned.
“It’s one of the nicest pieces of property ever to go on the market in the Southern Adirondacks,” listing agent Dan Davies of Davies-Davies & Associates said.
The property, formerly the Crossett Lake Boy Scout camp, is just north of Camp Little Notch, a former Girl Scout camp, and Camp Wakpominee.
Located off Sly Pond Road, the property includes 122-acre Crossett Lake, a custom Adirondack lodge, a separate two-bedroom cabin and multiple buildings and garages.
Miller is the owner of three buildings in downtown Glens Falls near the corner of Park and Elm streets. She also owns Miller Mechanical of Glens Falls and Doty Machine Works of Fort Edward.
She has been renovating the building at the corner of Park and Elm throughout the pandemic and recently purchased the building at the corner of Park and Glen streets. She owns Doc’s Restaurant on Park Street.
Miller’s late husband, Myles, bought the property in the early 1990s, Elizabeth Miller said.
“This is very bittersweet,” she said Wednesday Sept. 14. “It’s a very special piece of property, but it’s time the next person has an opportunity to make it all it can be.
“My focus is on other things,” she said, referring to the renovations she and her son Ben are doing on Park Street in downtown Glens Falls. “I just can’t focus on it right now.”

Davies said the property is full of wildlife.
“We saw eagles and loons and deer when we were up there a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “It’s like having your own sanctuary, but it’s 15 minutes to civilization.
“There are two nice homes, lots of garages and cabins, and a pavilion. It’s for someone looking for ultimate privacy in the southern Adirondacks,” he said.
Crossett Lake has numerous islands, and the property also includes part of Thurber Pond.
“If I hit the lottery, I would consider buying it,” Davies said. “It’s a very rare property with the acreage of an Adirondack Great Camp.”
Davies said he has had a few inquiries about the property from some high net worth clients.
The property is assessed at $2.315-million. Taxes are estimated to be $53,000 annually.
