Welcome to one of Owasco Lake's most extraordinary waterfront offerings—a truly rare opportunity to own a property that has been cherished by the same family since it was custom built. Set on an impressive 1.4-acre parcel with 135 feet of level lake frontage, this remarkable estate combines unmatched waterfront access, exceptional construction, and breathtaking views in a setting that rarely becomes available.
Designed with longevity, tranquility and peace of mind, this home sits well above the water, with the basement floor positioned approximately six inches above the highest recorded flood stage in Owasco Lake history. This unique feature provides a level of confidence and security seldom found among lakefront properties.
Inside, you'll find spacious living areas designed to maximize lake views and year-round enjoyment. Comfort with newer central air conditioning system, along with electric baseboard heat. Public water and sewer services are already connected, and natural gas is available at the road for future expansion possibilities.
Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and boaters alike will appreciate the expansive under-home garage capable of accommodating four or more vehicles, providing abundant storage for cars, watercraft, and recreational equipment.
Outside, the property truly shines. The expansive slate patio offers a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular scenery on Owasco Lake. Enjoy peaceful mornings by the water, unforgettable moonrises reflecting across the lake, and arguably the best viewing location anywhere for the annual Emerson Park Fourth of July fireworks display.
Properties of this caliber are exceptionally rare. With level frontage, generous acreage, public utilities, outstanding flood protection, and a legacy of prideful ownership, this is more than just a lake house—it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Owasco Lake history. Opportunities like this seldom come to market and may never come again. Schedule your private showing today and experience everything this extraordinary waterfront property has to offer.
