Set along the coveted shoreline of Cayuga Lake, this Elm Beach building site offers a rare opportunity to create your dream waterfront retreat. Encompassing 1.5 acres and approached by a 1,500-foot private driveway winding through mature timber, the parcel opens to an elevated homesite overlooking the lake—offering both a sense of arrival and natural seclusion.
With 150 feet of pristine frontage, the shoreline provides a gentle transition from shallow entry to deeper water, ideal for both swimming and boating. Sweeping, unobstructed views and unforgettable sunrises further enhance the setting, delivering both natural beauty and lasting value.
Thoughtfully prepared for development, much of the clearing has already been completed while mature trees remain to provide privacy and a sense of seclusion. The driveway connects to State Route 89, ensuring convenient year-round access—an increasingly valuable feature for full-time living or four-season enjoyment.
Elm Beach is known for its welcoming, active lake community, making this an ideal setting for either a seasonal escape or a permanent home. Perfectly situated along the renowned Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, the location is within walking distance to Cayuga Ridge Estate Winery and Thirsty Owl Wine Company, along with a variety of other wineries, breweries, and local destinations just a short drive away. Though publicly maintained, the road itself feels quiet and tucked away, creating an atmosphere more akin to a private lakeside oasis.
A compelling blend of privacy, accessibility, and premier frontage—ready for your vision to take shape.
