We J-U-S-T started taking reservations for 2010 in November. Hurry to reserve you dates as our calendar is filling up fast.
Our home features a manicured, level, half acre lot that is perfect for family games of volleyball, kickball, etc. and provides plenty of space for the kids to run and play.
This home offers a natural shale stone beach stretching over 115' with a stone fire ring that is ideal for toasting marshmallows at night, or cooking over an open fire. The dock extends over 120 feet off the beach and is the perfect platform for the shore angler.
The entire main level of this home has hardwood flooring and features a vaulted great room with floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that offer a panoramic, million dollar view of one of the widest parts of Seneca Lake. We've spent many relaxing evenings on the deck taking in the amazing view and enjoying a bottle of fine wine from one of the many local wineries - and invite you to do the same.
6 PERSON HOT TUB (FULLY COVERED FROM THE ELEMENTS) WITH AWESOME LAKE VIEWS IS NOW AVAILABLE - ENJOY!!!

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Watkins Glen
The Finger Lakes are one of the last "undiscovered" great vacation destinations that I know of. The wineries and the outdoor activities available are without comparison on the east coast and offer a very unique combination of things to do. We chose to purchase this particular home mainly because of the size and configuration of the lot and the beach (1/2 acre, level yard with easy access to the beach and a great area for swimming) and the layout of the house - which is VERY open due to the great room and the wall of windows facing the water. You really feel like the lake is a part of the house because of how the home is sited and because of the wall of windows and the wraparound deck. We simply did not see any other home that was comparable.
The Unique Benefits of this Lake House/Waterfront
Great views. Great swimming. GREAT FISHING (most notably smallmouth bass and northern pike right off the dock and right at the drop off about 300 yards offshore). Great wineries within a very short drive or even within biking distance. Quick access to Penn Yan for groceries, bars, restaurants, diners, etc. Located in the exact middle of the lake between Watkins Glen and Geneva.
