This is a very rare opportunity to create your own lakefront retreat with 248 ft. on the water and 1.15 wooded acres, all only five miles South of Canandaigua. Or renovate the charming, 1880's cottage! There is Town water connected, natural gas at the road, Spectrum cable, and a permanent dock (needs attention) with a lovely, natural shale beach. There are 44 steps up and down to the lakeside from the 1st. floor level of the existing cottage. The lake views are delightful ! The septic system tank was replaced in 2013 and the leach field was newly constructed in 2017. The system was approved for the four bedroom cottage.
