Set on nearly two private acres with 177 feet of prime Cayuga Lake frontage, this extraordinary waterfront estate offers a convergence of modern engineering and resort level luxury just minutes from Ithaca and Cornell University. Conceived as a legacy property, the 6,408 square foot residence was constructed with poured concrete walls, double insulation, geothermal lake sourced heating and cooling, radiant heated floors, and a lifetime-limited warranty Grand Manor roof, creating a home of exceptional efficiency and craftsmanship. A gated entrance and granite curbed drive lead to the lakefront residence, where stonework, copper gutters, and Marvin window systems establish a timeless aesthetic. Inside, four panel Marvin glass doors disappear into the walls, opening the great room seamlessly to panoramic lake views and outdoor living spaces. The custom chef's kitchen is appointed with Sub Zero refrigeration, Wolf range and oven, Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, granite surfaces, and a handcrafted copper hood. Hubbardton Forge lighting, custom millwork, Sonos audio, Lutron lighting, and security and surveillance systems elevate the home throughout. Designed equally for relaxation and entertaining, the property features two wood burning fireplaces, a hidden wine cellar, recreation room with custom game table, lock out guest bunk suite with full kitchen, dual laundry rooms, and a primary suite with copper soaking tub, steam shower, waterfall views, and remote-controlled blinds. Outdoor amenities rival a private resort with a pergola featuring retractable shade, outdoor kitchen and shower, illuminated waterfalls and dock lighting, permanent boat and jet ski lifts, Trex docking, irrigation systems, and a custom porch swing overlooking the water. The deep water dock accommodates a 35 foot Sea Ray cruiser. The offering includes a separate approved parcel across Taughannock Boulevard, presenting future expansion or development potential. Offered turnkey furnished, with boat available separately, this is one of Cayuga Lake's most compelling and irreplaceable waterfront estates.

The woman who taught me that home isn’t just four walls, it’s the people who make you feel safe inside them. She raised me to work hard, stand tall, and always negotiate from a position of strength. I learned from the best.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

In a world where privacy and security have become increasingly valued, this estate offers a rare opportunity to retreat to a secluded and protected setting, far removed from the density and unpredictability of major metropolitan areas.

Perfectly positioned just 175 miles from New York City, approximately a 3-hour drive or a brief 48-minute flight from JFK, the property offers both escape and accessibility. Nearby regional airports accommodate private and charter aircraft, ensuring seamless travel for owners and guests.

Set across 43 acres of extraordinary privacy, this three-story mountaintop estate offers awe-inspiring panoramic views and an unparalleled collection of luxury amenities.

The estate is thoughtfully composed of five distinct buildings, including the main residence, estate manager’s house, carriage house, barn, and pool house, each positioned to support refined living, guest accommodations, and seamless estate operations.

Across the estate, there are 10 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, 7 fireplaces, 14 garage bays, and over 30,0000 square feet of living space. Resort-level amenities include a tennis court, swimming pool, outdoor heated spa, mature orchards, private vineyards, and an enchanting secret garden that creates a magical setting.

The home at 15 Meadowood Lane is designed in a neo-classical style. Its architectural vision draws from early Southern American and European classical precedents. The estate incorporates traditional elements like symmetrical layouts, classical columns, pediments, and historic detailing. These inspirations evoke the architectural traditions of the 18th and early 19th centuries (1780–1820), reflecting a timeless, elegant estate rooted in classical tradition.

The property consists of three tax parcels and reflects all structures, residences, and amenities of the entire estate.

Based on current high-end construction standards, the estimated replacement cost of the improvements alone may exceed $53 million, highlighting the exceptional value of this offering. Priced at $12,950,000, representing approximately $425 per square foot. An irreplaceable opportunity of rare scale, privacy, and distinction.
