Down a stone path, through the trees, sits a charming, newly constructed cottage on a hill where the breeze carries the scent of the lake and sunlight dances on the water. It is the kind of place where time slows, mornings begin with coffee by the shoreline, and evenings gather around the crackle of a fire. Here, the rhythms of lake life take hold. This is a place where stories are shared, summers stretch long, and the beauty of Skaneateles Lake is always just steps away. Located on the west side of the lake, this peaceful, tree-lined property offers 100 feet of private waterfront. Thoughtfully designed, the cottage blends relaxed, rustic charm with the feeling of an Adirondack retreat. Inside, natural textures, warm wood tones, and large picture windows create bright, welcoming spaces. The open kitchen features beautiful cabinetry, wood countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a center island for casual seating. The main living area is framed by windows that bring in natural light and showcase serene lake views. Bedrooms are bright and restful, offering treetop or lake views. The bathroom features clean, modern finishes that complement the home’s relaxed style. A private staircase leads to the crystal-clear waters of Skaneateles Lake, with a dock and swim platform for easy lake access. Nestled in New York’s picturesque Finger Lakes Wine Country just 4.5 hours from Manhattan, this seasonal lake house is conveniently located near Syracuse, Rochester, and Ithaca, with Syracuse Hancock International Airport a short drive away and the Skaneateles Aerodrome nearby for private aviation. This is your gateway to a tranquil lifestyle, surrounded by natural beauty, fresh air, and recreational activities like boating, fishing, and swimming, while benefiting from clean air and a calming environment that enhances your well-being and productivity. Owning this property is not just about a home. It is an investment that appreciates over time. Now is the time to claim your place on the shores of Skaneateles Lake. After all, life truly is better on the water. Sellers will review offers Monday June 30th at 12pm, edt.
