Welcome to Willow View, your own natural retreat on 6.6 acres in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country. A long driveway draws you away from the road into a private, park-like oasis, unnoticed by those passing by. A large spring-fed pond, mature woods, and three majestic willows create a haven for birds and wildlife. Downtown Trumansburg is just five minutes away, with 26 wineries around Cayuga and Seneca lakes within a 20-minute drive.
Enjoy morning coffee at the kitchen island as the bay windows frame the pond and willows, or settle onto the custom red oak window benches and watch the wildlife. Cathedral ceilings open up the great room, where a stone-surround gas fireplace with a live-edge mantel makes chilly evenings especially cozy and inviting. The primary bedroom features a roomy walk-in closet, direct access to the updated bath, and French doors onto the deck. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, family room with a pellet stove, a second kitchen, and laundry offer flexible space for guests and everyday living.
Outside, choose your favorite spot: the pool, hot tub, composite deck, screened porch, or pond dock rebuilt in 2026 with larch decking. A fenced garden with four long raised beds also crafted from naturally durable larch is ready for your next growing season. Two charming tiny houses offer space to welcome guests or explore additional income through short-term rentals. A detached two-car garage provides workshop space, while fresh exterior paint on the main house adds to the recent care invested in the property.
Spend an afternoon exploring Taughannock Falls or the wine trails, then come home for a soak beneath the stars. Idyllic country living awaits. Call your agent for an appointment today. Seller is a licensed real estate agent.
