About this home
This exceptional 88-acre property offers endless possibilities with breathtaking Skaneateles Lake views bordering Bear Creek and its stunning waterfall, just a short drive from Skaneateles Village in the renowned Finger Lakes Region. This completely private sanctuary is surrounded by mature hedgerows and woods, creating total seclusion and tranquility. The substantial main lodge features an expansive commercial kitchen, three full bathrooms, and extensive storage space, all surrounded by a covered veranda with picnic tables perfect for entertaining, and with updates, could accommodate events for up to 200 guests, making it an incredible event space. The property includes two spacious 24x32 bunk houses with approved septic plans to be converted into charming 2-bedroom cottage residences, a large bath house with eight showers. Essential infrastructure is already in place, including two wells, an extensively engineered septic system, and electrical service. Previously operated as a successful church camp, this versatile property presents extraordinary opportunities for wedding venues, family compounds, equestrian facilities, private retreats, or commercial event spaces. The true value lies in the prime acreage, existing utilities, and septic infrastructure, offering a rare chance to create your vision in one of New York's most desirable locations with easy access to both Skaneateles and Ithaca.
