Create your own private lakeside retreat on over 4 private acres with 211 feet of level Cayuga Lake shoreline. This rare offering includes two historic, beautifully maintained & thoughtfully updated cottages, a large dock with boat lift & 3 storage sheds. The Upper Seasonal Cottage (1926): Feel the breezes flow thru this cottage as it perches on a small rise above the lake and above the banks of Lively Run as it cascades along its light filtered path to the lake. Inside, you’ll find 3 comfortable bedrooms and 1 ½ updated baths. The galley kitchen retains its vintage charm while offering modern conveniences for effortless cooking. Vaulted ceilings & skylights in the main living area create a bright, open feel, with a central brick fireplace for cozy evenings. A spacious screened porch stretches across the front of the cottage, the perfect place to relax with a view of the lake. A gentle path—wide enough for an ATV—leads you down to the shoreline & sweeping southeastern views. The Lower Year-Around Cottage (1893) : Nestled along the shoreline, this Victorian-inspired gem blends timeless character with modern updates. Featuring 3+ bedrooms, 2 marble full baths, & a white quartz kitchen, it’s designed for comfort & entertaining. The pier-&-beam foundation & full insulation, paired with a warming gas fireplace, make it suitable for year-round enjoyment. Vaulted ceilings & abundant windows fill the home with natural light. Outdoors, two inviting porches provide the ultimate in lakeside living—the screened lower-level porch offers bug-free dining & relaxation, while the upper porch delivers private, panoramic views of the lake. The Grounds: Beyond the cottages, over 4 acres invite exploration. Follow the timber-lined trail through the woods to a charming bench tucked into a shaded glade. In spring, daffodils bloom along the path, creating a magical seasonal display. Lovingly cared for & curated over the decades, these two properties offer a truly unique opportunity to own a private retreat on the West shore of Cayuga Lake, adjacent to the Kidders/Sheldrake neighborhood. Check out the virtual tour which combines both cottages into one easy to view tour.
