Caswell Rd Lot 11, Freeville, NY 13068

More than 18 acres of land in Freeville with the kind of combination that is getting harder to find this close to Ithaca: approximately 12 acres of open fields, more than 350 feet of road frontage, a roughed-in driveway with the culvert already in place, and Mill Creek winding on and off the property toward the back edge. The open acreage gives the property an immediate sense of scale and usability. The fields provide room for a home, gardens, recreation, animals or simply the freedom to leave a large portion of the land open. Electric poles are located on the property providing easier access to electric. Toward the back, Mill Creek adds an entirely different element, moving through the property and creating a natural corridor for wildlife. Access is already underway, with a roughed-in driveway and culvert in place providing access in where to enter and how to position a future home or improvements. One Principal dwelling and one accessory dwelling is allowed with town approvals. And then there is the location. Freeville puts you within easy reach of Ithaca and Cornell University, while still offering the space and open landscape that comes with owning acreage outside the city. The surrounding Finger Lakes are close at hand, with Taughannock Falls, Robert H. Treman, Buttermilk Falls and other area parks providing hiking, waterfalls, swimming and year-round outdoor recreation. The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail also makes for an easy day trip, with wineries stretching along the lake between the Ithaca area and the northern Finger Lakes. This is land with several distinct personalities: open field in front, flowing water toward the back, and enough acreage to create something that feels genuinely your own. Come walk it and see where the fields end and Mill Creek takes over.
