Some places borrow beauty; others permanently capture it. This rarely offered 65+/- acre estate espouses both, rising from above Cayuga Lake with a vantage so commanding it feels almost mythical. Sun paints along the property's shifting canvas, illuminating the landscape and the timber frame home raised by artisan hands. Set in harmony with the surrounding lands, the 2,300+/- sq-ft 3 Bedroom/2.5 Bathroom New Energy Works-designed and custom-constructed structure builds the perfect blend of stewardship and amenity into a sun-drenched layout that maximizes its details and design. Hewn from Eastern White Pine by artisans, its timber frame recalls an older covenant with the land: mortise joined to tenon, pegged by hand, with strength drawn not from nails but from patience and careful construction. Floors reclaimed by Pioneer Millworks carry the ghosts of pine, maple, and cherry that once lived in other forms, their surfaces burnished into warmth beneath morning light. In the great room, above the soapstone wood stove, a fieldstone fireplace climbs skyward - each stone gathered by the owner and his sons from the surrounding vineyards and farms, then chiseled and placed with Old World precision. At its center, a heart-shaped stone gifted by his wife rests as both symbol and anchor, a quiet testimony to devotion. Attention to detail and space create resonance across exceptional finishes contained within the granite countertops, custom cherry kitchen cabinetry and bookcases, radiant heat, and wide-breathing premium-quality Kolbe & Kolbe windows that complete the composition. Each element is measured not in luxury alone but in fidelity to a craft and its place among the surrounding landscape. Even the mechanics bring this domain closer to the land by leveraging solar-powered energy and water systems. To experience it is to understand scarcity, for properties of this scale, and grace are vanishingly rare above Cayuga Lake's glacially carved, storied shores. The land is no less deliberate. Meadows unfold into hardwood stands of oak, maple, and pine, stitched with streams that wander toward a hidden woodlot where a waterfall plunges fifty-five feet into a shadowy seam of dappled light. Orchards of Gold Rush apples and peaches grow within black locust fencing, their roots a gift from neighboring Red Jacket Orchards, while gardens and blueberry bushes, tomatoes, and other summer's bounty extend the harvest. Wildflowers scatter across fields, their bloom rising and falling with the season's pulse, as deer, turkey, and songbirds make their quiet passage through the understory. Here, cultivation and wilderness are not opposites but partners, joined in a rhythm that rewards both stillness and stewardship. Beyond the gate lies culture without compromise. The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail curves just steps away, its wineries and lakeside restaurants within walking distance. In this convergence of privacy and place, of permanence and connection, the estate achieves what few properties can: a life lived in harmony with nature without sacrifice for modernity. To encounter land and home so seamlessly joined is to recognize rarity not as indulgence, but as inheritance. This is more than acreage, more than architecture. It is a legacy inscribed in timber and stone, in sunrise and waterfall - a sanctuary where craftsmanship meets the eternal patience of the land and for those with a shrewd eye for the details that connect them.
