10 Lake Florence, Duane, NY 12953

Set within more than 1,300 acres of private Adirondack wilderness, Partridge Park is a distinctive estate offering an uncommon combination of privacy, natural beauty, and history. The property encompasses more than 5,000 feet of frontage along the Deer River, the private six-acre Lake Florence, and several secluded ponds surrounded by expansive forests and mountain views.

The history of Partridge Park dates to the late 1800s. In the 1920s, the estate was acquired by Charles E. Bedford, a Standard Oil executive and business associate of John D. Rockefeller. During his ownership, improvements included the Lake Florence dam and waterfalls, which historically provided power to buildings on the property.

In the 1940s, Partridge Park became a children's summer camp, introducing generations to the Adirondack outdoors. Today, the estate retains much of its historic character. Passing through the original entrance gates, a scenic three-mile drive winds through mature forests and beautifully maintained grounds, offering abundant wildlife viewing before arriving at the main lodge overlooking Lake Florence.

Recently constructed in the tradition of the Adirondack great camps, the lodge offers more than 10,000 square feet of living space with 12 bedrooms and 12 full bathrooms. Features include a fully equipped bar, game room, spacious dining areas, elevator, hot tub, and expansive covered porches overlooking the lake and mountains.

Additional improvements include a remote trapper's cabin, guest cottage, trap shooting range, open-air dining pavilion, and lakeside gazebo, providing opportunities for recreation and entertaining. With its extensive acreage, private waterways, rich history, and thoughtfully developed improvements, Partridge Park offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial Adirondack estate to be enjoyed for generations.
