The yard surrounding the home has many beautiful trees, flowering shrubs and a lovely koi pond with water lilies and hundreds of fish. There is an enclosed outdoor veranda surrounded by many brilliant flowers and plants which would make a perfect outdoor wine tasting area.
A two car garage is attached to the house with an additional two car garage in the basement. The ceilings are eleven feet high in the basement and can be converted easily to a "ratskeller" or wine cellar. Two hand crafted double barn doors open to the entire basement. There is ample parking both in front of the upper and in front of the lower garages.
A large barn with two aviaries attached is located approximately one hundred fifty feet from the house. The aviaries house a variety of exotic birds. The inside of the barn is roomie enough and can be used for stalls or for machinery or converted to a workshop. There is a one half acre fenced in area for goats, alpacas or other animals.
Approximately thirteen acres are currently producing maize and hay. The topography, soil composition and proximity to the lake make this property perfect for hosting a vineyard.
New York state ranks #2 in wine growing in the United States with currently over 200 wineries producing wine and juice. One of the first wineries was established in New York in 1839. Due to the cool climate in the Fingerlakes region, riesling, pinot noir, cab franc, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, and other vinifera varieties are grown. This area is inundated with hordes of wine tasters as the leaves change near Columbus Day. Wine tasting is a fall tradition which only continues to grow throughout this region.
This property is for sale in the amount of $925,000.00.
