Truly magical property. 1830s farmhouse on 3.88 acres, with jaw-dropping views of Cayuga Lake. On the market for the first time in 40 years. Climb the long gravel driveway to your private enclave with fir floors, exposed timber framing, waterfall (artificial but lovely), inground pool, and legal accessory apartment to offset expense or accommodate guests. House is in need of updating, but the setting is incomparable. The home, including open front porch and primary suite, takes full advantage of the view. For those considering renovation, both municipal water and sewer are available on Cayuga Heights Road. Natural gas is not available. Located close to the intersection with East Shore Drive, and in the Village of Lansing, kids can attend Cayuga Heights Elementary. Ask your Realtor for the structural inspection report, survey, and detailed history of alterations and improvements. For those with vision and talent, this is the property for you.
