About this property

Sheldrake Solitude: "Simple and Private on Cayuga Lake

Centrally located between Ithaca, Watkins Glen, and Geneva in the beautiful Sheldrake Point area, you'll find this recently renovated cottage directly on the west shore of Cayuga Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes!

Located at lake level, after coming down two flights of stairs, you enter directly on a large porch with endless views of Cayuga Lake. As you enter, the natural light continues through four large windows that spill into an open floorplan. The first floor has a cozy living room furnished with a sectional couch, gas stove, and Samsung smart TV. The living Room naturally flows into an open kitchen and dining room with a large vaulted ceiling.

The open floor plan is ideal for entertaining friends and family alike. In the kitchen you'll find a brand-new GE range, large countertop and fully stocked cupboards with brand new cooking, baking and drink ware.

Completing the lake level space, you'll find a private bedroom with a queen bed and a recently renovated bathroom with bright tile and a spa shower.

Upstairs, a furnished loft with farmhouse style queen and twin beds and a shiplap privacy barrier with functional and style benefits.

Outside, you will be comfortable with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine on elegant outdoor furniture. Additionally, there are other seating areas on the 100 feet of lakeshore; even on the platform dock sitting above the lake.

While you may find it hard to leave the water, this home will be a great hub for your visit to the Finger Lakes. Award winning wineries are nearby with Sheldrake Point Winery walkable, Hosmer Winery, Thirsty Owl and Myer Farm Distillers are all within 5 minutes.
