Cazenovia Lake’s Signature South-Facing Waterfront
Available for the first time in three generations, this property is unlike anything else on the lake. Set on nearly an acre with an extraordinary 495 feet of owned frontage, it enjoys unmatched privacy in a quiet east-side cove while capturing rare, uninterrupted southern views—from the full sweep of the lake to the rolling hills along Route 13.
The approach to the home delivers a dramatic reveal: sightlines pass through the dining room’s bay window and continue to expansive commercial-pane windows in the living room, perfectly framing the length of the lake. Inside, the sprawling mid-century modern ranch offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, multiple living areas, and timeless architectural lines that are once again in demand.
While well-maintained with thoughtful updates—new roof (2025), dock and hoist (2024), boiler (2017), and newer kitchen appliances (2022)—many spaces retain their original character, offering a canvas for personalization.
For some, this will be the ultimate opportunity to preserve and celebrate an iconic design in a setting that cannot be replicated. For others, it’s the ideal site to create a legacy estate worthy of its irreplaceable location. Either way, properties like this come along once in a lifetime—if ever.
