Discover your private getaway—this unique 14x16 cottage sits on just over 3 peaceful acres and directly borders a quiet nature preserve. Thoughtfully designed with future expansion in mind, the cottage features high-quality 2x12 construction, full insulation (floor, walls, and ceiling), and a seamless setup for easy additions or relocation. Enjoy your morning coffee on the spacious 12x15 deck, accessed through an 8-foot sliding glass door with serene views of the preserve. The 4x6 outdoor cedar-lined bathroom includes a composting toilet for off-grid ease. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, the property is just 1,500 feet from Fall Creek—offering 5 miles of continuous DEC access for brook trout fishing in a Finger Lakes tributary. You’re minutes from Cortland and Homer, and only a 30-minute drive to Skaneateles or Ithaca. Love hiking, mountain biking, or snowmobiling? Summer Hill State Forest (2 miles away) and Bear Swamp State Forest (7 miles) offer over 8,000 acres of recreation. Underground 200-amp electric service from the road is already in place along with a brand new well!
