About this House

Built during the height of Napoleon's reign on 95 exquisite acres, core features of this classic Federal-style brick house have been meticulously maintained alongside modern day amenities. The property carries a genuine pedigree that pre-dates the incorporation of Tompkins County by nearly a decade and the founding of Cornell University by 56 years. It is now on the market for the first time since 1969. During the past two centuries, as Ithaca has grown up around it, the estate remains a private paradise. At Honna Lee, named six decades ago, fireflies dance magically during summer nights, wild turkeys roam the grounds and hawks and owls still claim the sky. The house is set back from the road by a long driveway and surrounded by majestic oak, walnut, arborvitae and yew, befitting a botanical garden, on a rolling 5-acre lawn, complete with a heated in-ground pool and a wildlife pond, to bask in your private solitude or to entertain. The estate extends 1/2 mile along a residential road within the Town of Ithaca, and is comprised of mixed old-growth hardwoods, spruce, and 36 acres of pesticide free farmland (since 2016). The estate is zoned for potential development of up to 12 parcels of single or multi-family homes and lies within the town's targeted conservation easement area for potential compensation of substantial value. Inside you will find hardwood, exposed beams and brick walls. Step back in time in the stone-floored den, or survey your grounds from the four-season, south-facing sunroom. The spacious primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings adds the perfect contemporary touch. While Honna Lee is secluded, it is within 5 miles to top-tier amenities: groceries, bakeries, restaurants, libraries, museums, cinemas, and nightlife. Upper Treman State Park, with its awe-inspiring waterfall and invigorating hiking trails, is just 4 minutes away. The estate is also near Watkins Glen and both the Cayuga and Seneca Lake Wine Trails, home to award-winning wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Honna Lee offers four-season beauty, a rich heritage, development or conservation potential, and an unmatched combination of privacy and proximity in the heart of the Finger Lakes.
