Property Description

Beyond a long private drive, this extraordinary woodland estate is nestled deep within 12.5 secluded acres, where mature hardwood forests, rolling lawns, and a picturesque stocked pond create an exceptional private retreat just minutes from Cornell University, Ithaca College, and downtown Ithaca. Expanded by approximately 2,000 square feet and extensively renovated in 2014, the 5,466-square-foot main residence was thoughtfully designed for luxurious everyday living with an open-concept floor plan, soaring vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, two fireplaces, and dual primary suites ideal for multi-generational living. The chef's kitchen flows seamlessly to an expansive deck overlooking the heated saltwater pool, hot tub, water feature, and tranquil pond. Wander private trails through oak, maple, hickory, birch, pine, and hemlock, harvest fruit from the fenced orchard, or enjoy fishing and abundant wildlife in your own park-like setting. A beautifully finished 1,400-square-foot detached guest residence offers a full kitchen, living and dining area, bedroom, full bath, private deck, and an expansive lower level with a wood stove—perfect for extended family, guests, a private office, fitness studio, or creative workspace. Recent improvements, including a new metal roof (2025) and main furnace (2026), provide peace of mind, while a detached two-car garage with workshop and kennel, an attached three-car garage, and an additional 25 adjoining acres available separately further enhance this exceptional offering. A property of this scale, privacy, and versatility—just minutes from Ithaca's premier educational institutions—is a truly rare opportunity.
