Privacy, Pond and Pole Barn! Looking for a peaceful country setting where bonfires, backroads, and wide-open skies are part of the daily routine? Consider this contemporary hillside raised ranch with a lot of modern updates to make daily living comfortable and efficient, including grid-tied solar for lower electric costs, newer AC heat pumps/mini splits, and an updated back deck with sliding door connection to the outdoors. But the real showstopper? A recently added 32' x 48' pole barn with upgraded 250-amp electric service and covered dog kennel spaces tucked along the back — ideal for hobbyists, contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, mechanics, woodworkers, or anyone dreaming of the ultimate country setup. A welcoming, covered front porch invites your guests inside to the open floor plan with vaulted ceilings. The spacious living room flows easily into the kitchen, where generous counter space, abundant cabinetry, and a breakfast bar make everything from quick breakfasts to weekend gatherings easy and relaxed. The primary bedroom with adjacent full bath offers a quiet rustic retreat off the back deck hallway, while two additional bedrooms are tucked along the front entry hall for guests or flexible living space. The West-facing back deck overlooks the pond and pole barn, with afternoon light flowing into the unforgettable sunsets! Downstairs you'll find an elevated ceiling and a partially finished walk-out lower level with incredible bonus space for a rec room, workshop, home gym, gaming setup, hunting gear, crafts, or movie nights. There’s also a laundry room, half bath, large storage area, cold storage room, and covered exterior storage space for tools and equipment. Outside, the acreage invites adventure year-round with wooded trails, wildlife, open sky, and room to roam in every season. Only a few miles to Route 79 corridor which takes you to Cornell University in Ithaca, or to Route 81 for commutes to Syracuse or Binghamton. The seller has truly loved life here and is only relocating to be closer to work. Bring the trucks, the tools, the dogs, the ATV’s, and the dream — this is the kind of property you've been talking about owning for years!
