About this property

Rustic Post & Beam Home with Panoramic Southern Tier Views Set on 10 scenic acres in Richford, New York, this distinctive two-story post-and-beam home offers rustic character, sweeping countryside views, and a peaceful rural setting in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region. Built in 1976, the home combines a warm, natural feel with an open contemporary layout designed to take full advantage of the surrounding landscape. The main floor features a spacious great room with cathedral ceilings, a central brick chimney and wood stove, along with an open kitchen and dining area and a full bathroom. Large windows throughout the home bring in plenty of natural light while framing breathtaking, far-reaching views of the rolling countryside. A sunroom provides another inviting place to relax and enjoy the scenery, changing seasons, and beautiful sunsets. Three bedrooms are located on the lower level. The walkout basement also includes workshop space, offering plenty of room for hobbies, projects, storage, or equipment. An enclosed porch provides another comfortable spot to enjoy the quiet country setting. The home is equipped with a drilled well and septic system. Heating includes solar and electric systems supplemented by the wood stove, while mini-splits provide additional heating and cooling for year-round comfort. Outside, the 10-acre property gently slopes across a picturesque mix of open farmland and mature hardwood forest. Established gardens include asparagus, rhubarb, berry bushes, and apple trees, making this an appealing property for anyone interested in gardening. A barn-garage offers versatile space for vehicles, tractors, recreational equipment, workshop use, or livestock, and a separate chicken house adds even more possibilities for those looking for a small hobby farm or country lifestyle. Despite its private rural feel, the property is conveniently located approximately 20 minutes from Ithaca and Cornell University and about 30 minutes from Cortland. Whether you're looking for a full-time country home, a small homestead, or a distinctive rural property within easy reach of Ithaca, this Richford property offers an appealing combination of acreage, character, views, and versatility.

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
