Description

Affordable lake frontage on the shores of beautiful Cayuga Lake! This small seasonal cottage offers the perfect starting point for your lakefront vision—whether you choose to enjoy it as-is, renovate, or build new.

Up top you will find convenient parking for 2 vehicles directly off of Route 89. A gently sloped shared right of way takes you to approximately 30 steps directly to the waters edge.

The highlight of the property is the impressive 85-foot permanent dock, thoughtfully constructed and equipped with a boat hoist rated for up to 10,000 lbs, currently set up for a 24' pontoon boat. Above the hoist, an elevated deck provides a stunning vantage point with unobstructed views of the lake—ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or taking in the sunsets.

With approximately 5 feet of water depth at the end of the dock and minimal weed growth, this property is well-suited for boating, fishing, and year-round enjoyment. From perch and bass to lake trout, the fishing is exceptional, while the setting also lends itself to waterfowl hunting in the colder months.

Ideally located just a short boat ride from multiple restaurants, wineries, and three state parks, only 2 miles from Dean’s Cove boat launch, and within walking distance to Goose Watch Winery.

This is your opportunity to secure Cayuga Lake frontage at an approachable price point and create something truly special.
