Welcome to Riverwood Estate, a private retreat in the heart of Central New York. Tucked within a quiet wooded setting in the Town of Throop and part of the Port Byron School District, this 5,300-square-foot residence offers a level of privacy rarely associated with such convenient access to Auburn, Syracuse, and the Finger Lakes region. Positioned near local golf courses, Owasco Lake, and the NYS Thruway, the location further contributes to the property’s long term appeal through its balance of seclusion and accessibility. Inside, the home is defined by spacious living areas, hardwood floors throughout, and a layout that feels equally suited for larger gatherings or quieter everyday living. The finished third-floor level with cupola access and the primary suite with private sitting room and integrated laundry introduce details not often found in homes of this scale. Outdoors, river views and surrounding woodland frame a heated in-ground pool with cascading waterfall feature, while the covered porch lends itself naturally to open-air dining, quiet mornings, and long summer evenings. In addition to the attached three-car garage, the property features a detached two-car workshop garage with loft space above, along with a separate two-bedroom guest residence above the main garage ideal for visitors, extended stays, or a more private living arrangement. Properties combining this degree of privacy, architectural presence, and versatility within close reach of Central New York’s most established destinations infrequently become available with this level of completeness.
