About This Home

The magic of this property begins in the backyard. Set on 2.5 acres of expansive lawn, trails, and open meadows, this is a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle centered around nature, creativity, wellness, and self sufficiency. The outdoor living experience is extraordinary, featuring a custom sauna, outdoor shower, cold plunge, patio, and gathering spaces designed for relaxation, entertaining, and connection. Almost half an acre is fully fenced and gated, ideal for dogs, chickens, goats, or llamas. Raised garden beds with convenient irrigation, fruit trees, berry patches, wildflowers, and abundant birdlife create a living landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons. Wander the mowed grass trails leading to a secluded aspen grove that feels like a private forest cathedral. An old apple tree invites climbing, shade, and homemade applesauce in the fall. Inside, the one level ranch offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with an organic contemporary aesthetic. The kitchen features maple cabinetry, concrete countertops, and an inviting blend of modern design and natural materials. A spacious family room creates the perfect setting for music, conversation, movie nights, and gatherings with family and friends. Two wood burning stoves provide supplemental heat and cozy ambiance throughout the colder months. The detached garage includes a finished studio space previously used as a pottery workshop and offers endless possibilities for artists, makers, remote workers, wellness practitioners, home businesses, guest quarters, creative studios, or future accessory dwelling space. Additional covered storage and a woodshed provide practical functionality. Located between Ithaca and Trumansburg, just minutes from shopping, restaurants, Cornell University, and Ithaca College, this property offers the best of both worlds: peaceful country living with convenient access to everything. Whether you're seeking a homestead, artist retreat, hobby farm, wellness sanctuary, or simply a special place to call home, this property offers an opportunity unlike any other.
