Bordered by the serene expanses of the Finger Lakes National Forest, this exceptional 8.5-acre homestead in Interlaken offers a rare opportunity to live where your private backyard seamlessly transitions into over 16,000 acres of federally protected wilderness and seasonal cattle grazing pastures. The heart of the farmette is an expansive 2-story farmhouse featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, designed with large windows that frame stunning, unobstructed upstate sunsets and peaceful rural vistas. Steps from the main house sits a fully independent, eco-efficient tiny house, offering a highly sustainable setup for a private guest suite, a quiet home office, or an income-producing short-term rental. The main residence offers plenty of room to grow equity through needed improvements, making it a perfect canvas for your custom updates and personal style.
Tailored perfectly for homesteaders, artisans, or equestrian enthusiasts, the property features a classic open barn with ample space for livestock stalls, equipment storage, and hay. Flowing from the barn are sun-drenched pastures ready for rotational grazing or small-scale sustainable agriculture. Here, you can enjoy absolute rural tranquility and immediate access to miles of public recreational trails, presenting a true opportunity to work, grow, and play in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, all while remaining a convenient drive away from local Seneca and Cayuga Lake wineries, everyday amenities, and the vibrant culture of downtown Ithaca.
