A rare opportunity to own a piece of Seneca Lake and create your own Finger Lakes retreat. This older lake cottage offers a glimpse into the simpler days of Seneca Lake living and is being sold as-is, ready for the next owner to bring a new vision to the property. Remodel and restore the existing cottage, or explore the possibilities of building a new lake home designed to take full advantage of this special setting. The true value is in the location, land, and approximately 176 feet of Seneca Lake frontage. Set on approximately 4.86 acres in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region, this property offers the space, waterfront, and setting that are increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded by the beauty of Seneca Lake and its renowned wine country, this is an opportunity to create something truly special for generations to come.
Looking for even more Seneca Lake frontage and acreage? This property is being offered as a newly created parcel split from a larger property. Survey and final parcel configuration will establish the exact boundaries and acreage. The adjoining parcel to the north is also available separately, providing buyers the opportunity to purchase additional acreage and lake frontage. See MLS # R1714206. The adjoining Parcel B to the north offers approximately 187 feet of additional lake frontage and 5.8 acres. Purchase the parcels separately or combine them to create an exceptional Seneca Lake property with approximately 363 feet of total waterfront and 10.66 acres. A rare opportunity to secure substantial lake frontage and acreage in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region, with added privacy and possibilities for a family retreat, new construction, or long-term investment.
