Perched 300 feet above the main road, the contemporary 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is perfectly sited to capture sweeping eastern views of the surrounding countryside across its 11.24-acre wooded parcel. Enjoy peaceful forest walks amid abundant wildlife and an autumnal apple harvest, before winter transforms the landscape into a snow-kissed wonderland. For those seeking even more land, an additional 36+ acres are available to create the ultimate farmstead or private sanctuary. Thoughtfully designed, the home features an open and airy floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary bedroom enjoys its own private upstairs office, offering a quiet, sunlit space to work or relax while taking in the breathtaking scenery. The property is fully equipped for country living, with a large Morton building perfect for equipment, hobbies, a charming garden shed, a chicken coop, and a fenced vegetable garden with 6 raised beds. Off the back deck, a delightful 1-bedroom guest cottage provides the perfect space for visitors, extended family, or even potential rental income. A substantial solar array supports sustainable, energy-efficient living, seamlessly blending modern convenience with a peaceful rural lifestyle. Despite its serene setting, the property is just minutes to the Village of Dryden’s grocery stores, shops, and restaurants, and offers easy access to both Ithaca and Cortland.
