Skaneateles Lake is known for its extraordinary clarity, and this exceedingly rare offering commands one of the largest and most private settings on its shores. Now offered at an enhanced 24.26 acres, up from its original 19.5 acres, the estate has grown to include two additional structures: a 28' x 68' frame barn and a 32' x 48' carriage house with three garage bays and an apartment above, suited to horses, a car collection, or guest accommodations. A stone gate and quarter-mile private drive set the tone before the residence even comes into view, leading onto one of West Lake Road's most coveted stretches, with acreage adding further privacy and versatility. Inside, the roughly 10,200-square-foot home was built for both everyday living and serious entertaining. A chef's kitchen is anchored by custom Italian cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a wood-fired rotisserie, while six bedrooms offer room for family and guests alike. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a private exercise room, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath; a self-contained guest apartment adds flexibility for extended family or staff. Outdoors, the estate unfolds across more than 600 feet of pristine shoreline: a lakeside pavilion, a permanent dock with dual boat hoists, a custom pool and spa framed by its own pool house, and a regulation tennis court fitted with pickleball lines and night lighting. Living here feels like a private resort, with lake views unfolding from nearly every angle, multiple settings for entertaining and gathering, and space to roam and mark the changing seasons, from long summer days on the water to quiet autumn walks across the grounds. A 28-acre vineyard lines the northern boundary, framing the views and enhancing the estate's privacy. The Village of Skaneateles is just five minutes away, whether by boat across the water or by car down West Lake Road, putting its renowned restaurants and boutique shops within easy reach, all within the sought-after Skaneateles School District. This is an irreplaceable legacy property, the kind passed down through generations. It is a place made for a lifetime of golden lake days, season after season.
