Description

Stunning 41-acre estate just minutes from downtown Ithaca, Cornell University, and Ithaca College! This
exceptional property offers the perfect balance of modern comfort, natural beauty, and privacy. The
contemporary 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features an open layout with hardwood floors, a soaring wall of windows that captures panoramic views, and a wraparound deck ideal for enjoying the peaceful setting. The main level includes an open kitchen flowing into the great room with pellet stove, two bedrooms, and a full bath. Upstairs, a loft leads to a large private suite with full bath. The walkout lower level offers incredible flexibility with high ceilings, a full bathroom, living area, efficiency kitchen, and bonus room—perfect as a guest suite or Airbnb rental. The land is equally impressive. A seasonal creek with a small waterfall runs along the southern border, while sections of historic stone walls weave through the woods on the north side. An old farm road defines the eastern edge of the property, and a hunting blind sits quietly at one corner. An amazing tulip tree towers over the forest canopy, and white pines grace the lower two fields. Wildlife abounds—foxes, turkeys, and white-tailed deer are frequent visitors. With three open meadows, there's ample space for recreation, gardening, or hobby farming, and a charming pre-Civil War barn offers garage space, storage, and potential for a studio or workshop. Already a successful rental, this property offers endless possibilities—as a private retreat, income property, or year-round residence. Rare to find this much acreage, natural beauty, and flexibility so close to town. Don't miss the opportunity to own a slice of Finger Lakes paradise.

    "The most common thing known in this town is “old home days” where the Newfield school hosts a night of food, fireworks, and even has a mini fair set up for the kids. Usually this lasts 3 days. "

    "Great place to reside for seniors over 55. Office personnel were not super friendly as we expected, however, I feel , perhaps, they were worried about my son and I being loud. Though we are in fact night owls....we don’t have parties and are very quiet. Have had no problems with the other tenets . Enjoy them all as well as different personalities. 👍🏻😊🙏"
