If you've been searching for the full package — a beautifully upgraded home, inspiring land, and a location that connects you to the best of the Finger Lakes — this one delivers on all! At the heart of the property is a thoughtfully designed, single-level, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that blends open-concept living with well-defined spaces. Vaulted, wood-covered ceilings crown the main living area, where light spills across rich Bolivian Rosewood floors. The kitchen is equal parts rustic and refined, with hickory cabinets, quartz countertops, and a layout that invites gathering and conversation that transition to the open living room studded by a space-warming and efficient pellet stove. Updated bathrooms, new paint, and a number of other recent enhancements or upgrades are among a long list of improvements, including a new boiler (2022), refrigerator (2024), and oven (2024) — adding modern flair and extreme peace of mind. Outdoor living is just as well considered, with a large covered front porch perfect for morning coffee or evening shade, and a back deck that opens to views of the well-kept yard and pond beyond. Just steps from the house, a 28x42 shop/garage with power and 6-inch concrete floors that provides functional space for parking, storage, hobbies, workshop needs, and 3 dog doors with outside kennel access.
Outdoors, the property truly comes alive. Spread across 5.6± acres, the setting is a blend of well-kept lawn, wild edges, and quiet corners where wildlife thrives. A large garden-style pond becomes a seasonal focal point, ringed with blooming flowers in spring and full of mirrored skies summer through fall. The land has hosted a number of successful deer hunts thanks to its proximity to larger managed tracts and the adjacent public land, while the open areas offer space to roam, relax, or recreate in a way that you see fit. Whether you are chasing the light of sunrise or winding down to the glow of a sunset, the land sets the tone for a life more connected to space, serenity and seclusion.
Step outside and you're quite literally strides away from over 9,000 acres of Sugar Hill State Forest — a gateway to nearly endless adventure among some of Schuyler County's most beautiful terrain. From here, you can hike the Finger Lakes Trail, hunt public lands, or simply get lost in the stillness of the woods. In every other direction, the area still delivers! Watkins Glen International Speedway, Seneca Lake, Watkins Glen State Park, and the renowned Seneca/Finger Lakes Wine Trail are all within easy reach — just minutes away. It's a setting that feels separated, yet truly keeps you close to everything.
With limited area inventory and few homes on acreage, this is a turnkey offering that's a rare find in today's market—a property equally suited to embrace full-time living, weekend escapes, or legacy ownership. With upgrades inside, natural beauty outside, and adventure all around, it's a listing unlikely to find itself on the market for long. To learn more or see this inviting country home on acreage, don't hesitate to contact us today.
