Property description

Hidden from view, yet just minutes from Cornell University, this gated equestrian estate offers a setting and opportunity unlike any other. Nestled on 72 terraced acres, a tree-lined lane bordered by classic white fencing leads to a premier horse facility that combines lifestyle, business, and beauty in one extraordinary package. Currently home to a thriving boarding operation, this elite center offers endless possibilities for the discerning equestrian. Whether boarding, training, lessons, showing, rehab, rescue, or personal enjoyment, any discipline will thrive here. The centerpiece is a 14-stall barn (room for 4 more) with automatic waterers, fans, wash and grooming stalls, plus a heated office, meeting space, and client bathroom with shower. Year-round riding is a pleasure in the attached 80x205 indoor arena, while summer shows shine in the 100x230 outdoor arena with judge’s gazebo. Eight flex-fenced pastures, four smaller paddocks, and an additional 2-stall barn with storage offer ideal accommodations for horses of every need. The custom 4-bedroom, 3-bath Cape-style home is designed for both comfort and elegance. A light-filled great room with living, dining, and cook’s kitchen opens to a wall of Pella windows and glass doors leading to a deck that overlooks the property. A tiled sunroom captures peaceful views of the pastures, while the lower level and spacious attic provide expansion opportunities. The attached 3-car garage with workshop adds convenience and function. The terraced terrain is perfect for conditioning, with space for cross-country jumps and a two-mile perimeter trail. Explore 14 acres of woods and a 10-acre mowed meadow, ideal for riding, walking, or simply soaking in the beauty of the land. This is more than an equestrian property, it’s an unparalleled opportunity to live your passion, run a successful business, and create the equestrian lifestyle you’ve always envisioned, all in a premier location near Ithaca, Cayuga Lake, and the best of the Finger Lakes.
