OPEN HOUSE 5/22/26 FRI 4-6PM! Tucked beside more than 20 acres of untouched natural landscape, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of privacy, sustainability, and thoughtful design. Located in the Lansing School District, it enjoys a peaceful setting just minutes from everyday conveniences- 5mins to Target, 2 mins to the airport, less than 10 mins to Cornell, downtown Ithaca and Lansing Schools.
This unique offering includes a special combination of lots, with the adjacent lot also available by the same owner (MLS R1674377)—adding flexibility and long-term potential.
Inside, warm bamboo flooring spans the first level, complemented by a thoughtfully designed layout with both open and defined living spaces. The renovated den features custom built-ins, while the family room—with additional built-ins and a large screen TV that stays—creates an inviting gathering space. A formal dining room adds elegance, and the kitchen with a large island is ideal for both function and connection.
Step outside to a multi-level architect designed deck overlooking a backyard oasis with a heated swim spa/pool. Designer landscaping, a brick walkway, and a fire pit set the scene for relaxing evenings. The expansive yard includes perennial plantings, a fenced garden with mature fruit trees, and bluebird nesting boxes. A powered shed, circular driveway, stone walkways, and full basketball court with two hoops enhance outdoor living.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a large walk-in closet-truly a room of its own, along with in-suite laundry. A bonus storage room above the garage adds versatility. The finished walk-out basement includes a new full bath, zoned mini-split, flexible living space, and premium surround sound.
Additional features include generous storage, double sump pumps with French drain, a 7.5kW solar system, tankless water heater, whole-house generator, and 440V EV outlet. A truly special offering blending comfort, efficiency, and nature.
