Property Description
A private 106-acre country estate just minutes from the art, culture, and amenities of Ithaca. An original design by world-renowned modernist architect and Cornell alum Richard Meier, the primary residence showcases his signature clean lines, expansive glass, and sculptural use of light and shadow. Daily life flows through open, interconnected spaces that extend the experience into the surrounding vineyard, orchard and forest. White gallery-style walls create a serene backdrop, while rich materials add warmth and character. Endless possibilities for this creative space and your guests won't want to leave. Seamlessly blending modernist design with the property's agrarian origins, the thoughtfully preserved 1850s farmhouse has been reimagined as a charming guest house and occasionally used as a short-term rental. Woodlands and meadows invite hiking, cross-country skiing, foraging, and quiet exploration. Established organic orchard, vineyard, and raised garden beds support abundant seasonal harvests with a history of honey collection, wine and cider making. The stocked pond is ideal for fishing and peaceful reflection, while generous outdoor areas are perfect for large gatherings and lively activities. Offering the pleasures of the countryside within easy reach of Ithaca's urban center and the Finger Lakes Region. You must visit to truly appreciate the warmth of each home and the full extent of the property's offerings. Showings begin May 7 @ 4 pm.
