About this home

A Rare Finger Lakes Gem—Fully Updated and Packed with Possibilities Welcome to 1921 Ray Roberts Road, a truly one-of-a-kind property that blends country charm with modern updates, nestled on nearly 11 acres in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. This beautifully renovated three-bedroom, two-bath ranch has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom. Step inside to find a spacious living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, a fully remodeled primary suite with a dedicated mini-split unit, and a bright, functional kitchen with a new sink and nearly new appliances including refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The HVAC system was replaced just two years ago and is complemented by central air, a water softener, a UV light filtration system, and Starlink internet—already installed and ready to transfer. Step outside to a covered front porch overlooking lush green pastures and graceful willow trees—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, evening wine, or simply taking in the changing seasons. The setting also offers exceptional stargazing on clear nights, thanks to its peaceful rural location and open skies. The property features nearly 9.5 acres of perimeter and cross-fenced land with high-tensile wood and wire electric fencing, powered by two solar energizers—ideal for horses, cows, alpacas, chickens, dog breeding, or your dream hobby farm. Outbuildings include a barn, chicken coop, well house, smaller green barn, and a 32x28 pole barn with concrete flooring. The oversized driveway offers RV parking, and the attached two-car garage includes a workshop wired with 50-amp service. Additional highlights include newer siding with attractive stone skirting, a beautiful two-acre pond, and peaceful valley views. Located just 10 minutes from Watkins Glen International, Lamoka and Waneta Lakes, and only 10 to 15 minutes from Seneca Lake’s pier, restaurants, shops, and the region’s popular wine and brewery trails. Whether you're dreaming of full-time country living, a weekend escape, or an income-producing Airbnb, this turnkey Finger Lakes retreat offers incredible value and versatility. Property may be viewed by appointment only/approved buyers only.
