Property Description
Greek Revival at its finest, this extraordinary early-1800s home presents a rare opportunity to own one of the Finger Lakes region's most distinctive country properties, now available for the first time in over 80 years! The home sits on 35 acres of rolling pasture, woodland, and ponds, offering privacy just 15 minutes from Cornell University, downtown Ithaca, Cayuga Lake, wineries, restaurants, cultural attractions, and the region's spectacular gorges. The classic columned front porch introduces a home of remarkable scale and character. The house features elegant gathering spaces, including a formal living room and adjoining parlor/game room separated by handsome pocket doors. Upstairs are generous bedrooms and a third-floor bunkroom that has welcomed generations of family and friends. An adjoining wing provides comfortable everyday living with a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, additional bedrooms, full bath, laundry, and a welcoming family room. Also included is a guest or caretaker's apartment with its own kitchen, bath, sleeping loft, and private entrance. A standout feature is the expansive 47-foot enclosed back porch, where sweeping views create the perfect setting for entertaining. Additional highlights include a walk-in cedar closet, deep clawfoot soaking tub, beautiful original millwork, and architectural details rarely found today. Outside, trails wind through pastures and mature woods to two private ponds. The larger pond creates a stunning focal point, while the second has long been enjoyed for swimming and fishing. A substantial pole barn offers exceptional flexibility for horses, boat and vehicle storage, equipment, workshop space, or hobby farming, while an additional barn reflects the property's agricultural roots. Rich in character, lovingly maintained, and surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, this exceptional Finger Lakes property seamlessly blends historic architecture, extraordinary acreage, and comfortable living.
