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.

Make this incredible property the site of your dream home, private summer retreat, or subdivide the acreage to create the Finger Lakes region's most exclusive community. Or, make it your dream home AND subdivide the acreage.

The existing 4-bedroom waterfront home could be remodeled into a lakefront entertainment area, perfect for family gatherings, parties, and barbecues, or even the lake's most exquisite guest cottage, with your dream house sitting high on the hill above, surrounded by acres of privacy.

Timing is running out on this incredible opportunity. This parcel is being configured into four 6-acre lots with the balance planned as a park or conservation subdivision. Once one 6-acre lot sells, it will never again be possible to purchase all 100 acres. Everything -- the existing waterfront house, 512 feet of lakefront, and the 100 acres of land -- is available for $3,125,500.

NEW DEVELOPMENT: 6-Acre View Lot with Lake Rights, $348,725!

From this 100 acre property, just four building lots are being created. Each sunset-facing lot is 6 acres with incredible sweeping views from over 200 feet above the water. Each lot will have private (shared) lake access through the northern portion of the waterfront, pictured above. This discounted price is only available for the first lot to sell, and only for a limited time. Please see below for details.

The balance of this magnificent property is intended to be sold as a nature park. No lights, no ball fields; just nature trails and picnic benches. This peaceful park will abut the 4 exclusive home sites. Alternatively, depending on the availability of funding for a public park, the remained may be developed into a conservation subdivision, which will entail large building lots, and a significant amount of openspace.

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 peace and privacy with wonderful views to the west, and have access to the lake whenever you want.

In the plat shown below, the four lots are labeled, the parkland is the balance of the 99 acres (approximately 75 acres of parkland), and a parking easement for the shared lake frontage is just east (to the right) of the shared frontage. The area labeled as "Lake Access" appears 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.

Nothing else like this exists anywhere in the Finger Lakes Region. The first lot to sell will be reduced by almost 30% from its original asking price -- it is now available for only $348,725. The first buyer discount is only for a closing prior to July 1.

Obviously, if someone purchases the entire 100 acres, this opportunity will no longer exist. So don't wait.

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.

Seller financing available.
