About this property

GO AHEAD. DISAPPEAR FOR A WHILE. There are houses in the country...and then there are places that make you wonder why you waited so long to escape there. Welcome to your own ridiculously wonderful 11-acre slice of Upstate New York, where the woods are deep, the nights are quiet, the creek is waiting at the end of your trail-and, somehow, tucked right into the middle of all that glorious nature is a completely renovated, light-filled ranch that refuses to make you choose between getting away from it all and having all the good stuff. Start inside, because this house is FUN. Sunlight pours across gorgeous hardwood floors and into an open, wonderfully social floor plan that practically begs you to invite people over. The kitchen is the star of the party, with beautiful bespoke hickory and maple cabinetry, seemingly MILES of creamy quartz workspace, stainless appliances and that big, beautiful island where everyone will inevitably gather no matter how many other places you give them to sit. Chop. Pour. Laugh. Eat. Repeat. And when dinner turns into "okay, nobody's leaving yet," you're ready. Spill into the dining area. Grab another drink. Sink into the living room beneath the skylights and kick on the fireplace. This house does big, loud, happy nights beautifully-but it may be even better the morning after, when the coffee is hot, the house is quiet and all you can see through the windows is GREEN. The renovation manages to feel fresh without feeling sterile-which we LOVE. Warm woods, natural textures, playful color, beautiful finishes and personality everywhere you look. The bedrooms are bright and restful, the baths crisp and beautifully updated, and the whole house has that rare "somebody actually thought about how this should feel" quality. And downstairs? BONUS ROUND. A huge poured-concrete basement with exterior walk-up access gives you an absolute ton of storage today and tantalizing possibilities for tomorrow. Workshop? Gym? Studio? Hobby kingdom? More finished living space? Your house. Your adventure. But now we need to go outside, because THIS is where things get ridiculous. Eleven. Acres. Not eleven acres where you can see six neighbors, three sheds and somebody's trampoline. We're talking your own little world of lawn, towering trees, winding woods and glorious privacy. Morning coffee on the front porch feels different here. Dinner on the back deck somehow lasts longer. The stars show off a little harder. And when you feel like wandering? Take your own trail through the woods. Yep. Your trail. Follow it deeper into your property, under the trees and away from everything, until eventually you arrive at your frontage along the East Canada Creek. Kick off your shoes. Sit by the water. Cool down on a hot August afternoon. Bring a book and accomplish absolutely nothing. You have officially reached the portion of the property where your phone should probably stay in your pocket. And THAT is what makes this place special. It isn't simply privacy. It isn't simply acreage. And it isn't simply a gorgeous renovated house. It's the combination. You can spend Saturday morning wandering your woods and Saturday night cooking for twelve in your gorgeous kitchen. You can disappear down to the creek and come home to quartz counters, beautiful cabinetry and a hot shower. You can throw the party, escape the party, grow the garden, build the workshop, read the book, hike the trail, sit on the deck, watch the seasons change-or just stand outside for a minute and enjoy the delicious sound of almost absolutely nothing. Peace. Privacy. Personality. Eleven acres of adventure. A beautifully renovated home right in the middle of it all. Turns out you actually CAN run away to the woods without roughing it.

    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.
