Opportunities to Own A Piece of Skaneateles

Have it All:    House, 100 acres & 512' of Skaneateles Lake Waterfront!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the only large parcel available on Skaneateles Lake!

Over 500 feet of private waterfront with an existing home, and approximately 100 acres of gently sloped meadows and stands of deciduous trees afford sweeping views of the lake and surrounding farmland.

A subdivision has been approved for four 6-acre lots, the HOA has been formed, and the private road engineering has been completed. This gives a buyer an opportunity to recoup a significant portion of the purchase price -- either now, or in the future, as an option for liquidity, or as an asset when the time comes to sell. Each sunset-facing lot is 6 acres with incredible sweeping views from over 200 feet above the water. This subdevelopment and HOA was conceived to give each lot private (shared) lake access through the northern portion of the waterfront, pictured below.

Make this incredible property the site of your dream home, private summer retreat, and/or create the Finger Lakes region's most exclusive community.

Significantly reduced from $4,450,000, and now available for $1,800,000 -- significantly below acquisition cost.

Or, buy a smaller portion of the entire property...

Northern Waterfront Parcel

The separately-deeded northern waterfront parcel is the former site of a single family home. Though the house has been removed, extensive stone walls, terraces, a 65-foot pier, and a boat ramp still exist from when the house was here.


Northern portion of the waterfront, viewed from the lake. The scale of this parcel is deceiving; note the
table and chairs on the patio to the right of the pier, as well as the house to the right.

Existing Waterfront Home

The existing 4-bedroom waterfront home is potentially available for purchase separately, or can be purchased as described above as part of a larger estate.

The house could be remodeled into a lakefront entertainment area, perfect for family gatherings, parties, and barbecues, or could even become the lake's most exquisite guest cottage, with your dream house sitting high on the hill above, surrounded by acres of privacy.

The house is perched on the lake's shore, offering a wonderfully relaxing setting inside and out, and has significant private lake frontage and direct water access.

NEW: 2-Acre Lot with Lake Rights

Now being offered for the first time ever, is a private, 2-acre lot with 90 feet of private shoreline on Skaneateles Lake!

This presents an opportunity to purchase a very private building lot for a custom home and have lake access, just steps from your front door. You will be surrounded by wonderful views, and have private access to the lake whenever you want.

The arial photo below shows the location of the 2-acre lot as well as a four-lot subdivision of the 99 acres that received preliminary approval from the town. The four 6-acre lots are labeled, leaving the balance of the 99 acres (approximately 75 acres), including a parking easement that was created for the shared lakefront (just east of the shared frontage, which is labeled as "N. Lake Access".) There are endless possibilities in the 75 acres for a wonderful building site.

The area labeled as "N. Lake Access" might appear to be small, but was formerly the site of a single family home -- that's just how massive 6 acres lots, and 100 acres of land are, dwarfing a standard building lot. If you look closely, you will see the 65' pier extending into the lake, appearing to point to the "R" in the word "PIER".

Nothing else like this exists anywhere in the Finger Lakes Region. There are several permutations to own exactly what you want.

However, the first parcel to sell will determine all the remaining options, so do not delay!

Seller financing available.

Beautiful Skaneateles and Skaneateles Lake

Skaneateles, central New York's most charming town, is a thriving residential and business community.

The historic downtown, with buildings dating from 1796, is adjacent to the picturesque lakeside community park, and surrounded by wonderful old stately homes. This idyllic town and incredibly pleasant environment are only 25 miles from Syracuse International Airport.

The Skaneateles school district is consistently ranked (by US News and World Report) as one of the best school districts in the United States.

The Finger Lakes region's beautiful rolling vineyards produce internationally recognized wines and draw vacationers from around the world.

Pristine Skaneateles Lake is a 300-foot deep, 15-mile long glacially-carved lake, and serves as the municipal water supply of the city of Syracuse. As one of the cleanest lakes in the country, water does not need to be filtered before distribution to users! Skaneateles Lake has the highest clarity of any of the Finger Lakes, and provides endless summer recreational opportunities.

This marvelous Skaneateles property lies only four hours by car from New York City or Philadelphia.
