Fort Blunder 365 acres with frontage on, and under, Lake Champlain is for sale in northern New York, the Center for Land Use Interpretation reports. Based on an 1814 emplacement, Fort Montgomery, was once called Fort Blunder . . . as it was accidentally built on the Canadian side of the border. Later border adjustments resolved this. While in need of some repair, it is still largely intact. And it can be yours for a mere $10 million. Best of all, Fort Montgomery is located on an artificial island, linked to the shore by a causeway. Further, the fort was built in a five-pointed star formation, in a manner more typical of a coastal fortification, and a type that is rarely found in the interior of the country. It has 40 foot tall stone walls projecting out of the water, though portions of it were removed in the 1930s during the construction of a nearby bridge.
