2001 County Road 23 Watkins Glen, NY 14891

If you've been searching for the full package — a beautifully upgraded home, inspiring land, and a location that connects you to the best of the Finger Lakes — this one delivers on all! At the heart of the property is a thoughtfully designed, single-level, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home that blends open-concept living with well-defined spaces. Vaulted, wood-covered ceilings crown the main living area, where light spills across rich Bolivian Rosewood floors. The kitchen is equal parts rustic and refined, with hickory cabinets, Cambria quartz countertops, and a layout that invites gathering and conversation that transitions to the open living room studded by a space-warming and efficient pellet stove. Updated bathrooms, new paint, and other enhancements join a list of upgrades — including a new boiler (2022), refrigerator (2024), and oven (2024) — providing modern flair and peace of mind. Outdoor living is equally thoughtful with a large covered front porch and back deck overlooking a well-kept yard and pond. Just steps from the house, a 24' x 40' shop/garage with power and 6" concrete floors offers functional space for parking, storage, workshop needs and 3 dog doors with outside kennel access. The 5.26± acres are a vibrant mix of lawn, wild edges, and wildlife-filled corners. A garden-style pond becomes the centerpiece of each season—from blooming spring to mirrored summer skies and even winter ice skating. The land has proven a successful hunting spot thanks to neighboring tracts and public land. Step outside and you're strides from over 9,000 acres of Sugar Hill State Forest. From the Finger Lakes Trail to Watkins Glen Speedway and Seneca Lake, this location blends seclusion with convenience. With few area homes on acreage, this turnkey listing is a rare find — ideal for full-time living, weekend retreats, or legacy ownership. With limited area inventory and with the inside upgrades, natural beauty outside, & adventure all around, its a listing that is unlike to find itself on the market long.
