Tucked behind a gated entrance at the end of a paved driveway, this exceptional contemporary home offers the perfect blend of privacy, modern updates, and usable acreage on more than 24 picturesque acres in Newfield. Open meadows, mature woods, and a large hay barn create an ideal setting for hobby farming, recreation, horses, or simply enjoying your own private retreat. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic brick fireplace anchor the main living area, while a wall of east-facing windows fills the home with natural light and frames peaceful woodland views. The recently remodeled kitchen features modern finishes and flows seamlessly to the dining room and rear deck overlooking the woods. The first-floor primary suite has been thoughtfully renovated with a beautiful en-suite bath and walk-in closet. New luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level adds style and durability. The fully finished walkout lower level offers outstanding flexibility and could function as a separate two-bedroom apartment, guest suite, or multigenerational living space. Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage, detached two-car garage, and a fully fenced area surrounding the home. A 16kW ground-mounted solar array helps offset approximately 50% of the home's utility costs, providing impressive energy efficiency and long-term savings. That system feeds a recently replaced electric boiler system and the mini split heating/cooling units throughout the house. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated country property with acreage, privacy, modern amenities, and room to live, work, and play—all just a short drive from Ithaca.
