1502 NY-22

On the quiet farmlands outside historic Essex, this recently built commercial property offers over 8,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space. Completed in 2022, the building combines traditional framing with steel construction, electric in-floor radiant heating, mini-split compressors, and 400-amp electrical service, an uncommon standard for new commercial construction in the Adirondack Park. The ground level is home to a mix of established and emerging businesses, including a coffee shop, recording studio, antique car restoration and repair facility, office space, and a garden center with a commercial-grade refrigeration system. The second floor, over 3,000 square feet, has been framed to accommodate two luxury apartments, providing flexibility for residential or live-work use. Set on two acres with 400 feet of frontage along NYS Route 22, the property is minutes from the Essex-Charlotte Ferry and within easy reach of both the Adirondack High Peaks and Vermont. With its location on the Champlain Valley corridor and its balance of modern systems and adaptable design, the property presents a rare opportunity in a region where new construction is limited.
