This newly listed 3.49-acre angler's retreat is an exceptional, one-of-a-kind property with breathtaking views of the converging Cincinnati and West Canada Creeks. Situated on the most highly desirable section of the 76-mile West Canada Creek, locals refer to this location as the "trophy stretch." It's an angler's dream property, and one with a national reputation among competitive fishing enthusiasts who travel annually to fish these waters. As a weekend getaway or a year-round retirement lifestyle, the property's 1294 feet of water frontage with views of the pristine shoal and rippling waters of West Canada Creek are simply stunning. This part of the creek is one of the most renowned trout streams in central New York and produces brown trout that range from 12 to 20 inches. During the month of February, this 2.5-mile stretch from the Trenton Falls dam downstream to the mouth of the Cincinnati Creek is the only open trout water available to anglers. As a tailwater fishery with frequent changes in water level, the creek is prevented from icing over, making it a popular year-round attraction. The moment you enter the driveway to the property, you get an immediate sense of privacy and seclusion from the heavy canopy of trees sloping toward the creek, the welcoming iron arbor and wooden pathways, the gorgeous tiered landscaping providing multiple levels of interest and the property's elevated perspective overlooking the creeks. The sounds of Canada geese flying overhead and the distant rippling of the creek below add to the serenity, and the realization that this is no ordinary property. A fishing lodge with two outbuildings were designed for the property in 1980 and named, "The Confluence" for its unique location where the Cincinnati and West Canada Creeks converge. This intimate, rustic lodge with its tree-level views offers the perfect respite after a long day of fishing. It's a modern cabin style with warm wood treatments and a custom, hand-carved railing of a bear scene that is simply stunning. The upper level of the lodge offers a good-sized deck with a spiral staircase to the lower level and gorgeous views of the creek. Inside is an open floor plan connecting kitchen, dining and sleeping areas with a spacious full bath. The space is filled with natural light coming in through the windows, providing a serene connection to the spectacular beauty of the outside landscape. Call Robin Mongeau 315-868-6719
