About This Home
As of November 2025Perched majestically above the shimmering waters of Cayuga Lake, this breathtaking estate redefines luxury living in the prestigious Waterview Heights neighborhood. Spanning 1.26 meticulously landscaped acres, this extraordinary property offers a rare fusion of sophisticated design, unmatched amenities, & sweeping western views that capture every sunset. The centerpiece of the estate is the impeccably crafted 4,842-sf main residence, where every floor is graced with expansive lake views. Upon entry, you're welcomed into a dramatic two-story foyer and great room, anchored by a striking fireplace & floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. After a tasteful addition, the chef’s dream kitchen was realized with cathedral ceilings and fully equipped with commercial-grade Dacor & Sub-Zero appliances. The primary suite features a luxurious experience with private deck overlooking the lake. 3 additional bedrooms upstairs feature jack-and-jill baths & several hidden rooms that will amaze your children and guests. A fully finished walkout lower level is highlighted by a custom-built, climate-controlled wine cellar with capacity for 800 bottles, this space is ideal for hosting tastings or simply enjoying a quiet evening with your favorite vintage. The showpiece of the estate lies just steps from the main residence: a spectacular 4,000sf pool house that rivals any private wellness retreat. Inside, discover a gym or home office with separate heating & cooling. A sleek wet bar with adjacent hot tub room. The crown jewel is the 20x40 indoor heated pool designed for year-round enjoyment. Complete with changing rooms & walls of glass that open to the backyard and patio. Lush lawns, mature plantings, & curated hardscapes provide beauty in every season and a sense of privacy & tranquility rarely found at this scale. Whether enjoying a morning coffee on the terrace, hosting sunset soirées, or relaxing by the pool, this outdoor oasis offers endless moments of serenity and splendor. From its exquisite craftsmanship to its world-class amenities, this is more than a home- it’s a legacy property, built for those who expect nothing but the finest.
