Property Description

A Private Waterfront Estate Where Nature Becomes Your Everyday Turn off NY-12 and follow a winding private drive beneath a canopy of mature trees. For a minute, the outside world fades away. That’s until the landscape opens and the full character of this remarkable property comes into view. Located just minutes from downtown Watertown, this is more than a home. It is a private outdoor retreat, a family compound, and an exceptional opportunity to own a property built around one of its most unique assets: a spring-fed, approximately 30-foot-deep aquifer with year-round water. The water is stocked with eight species of fish creating a private setting for fishing, kayaking, wildlife watching, and simply enjoying the outdoors. Deer, turkey, waterfowl, and abundant wildlife are part of the landscape, while mature forest, open acreage, and natural view corridors create a sense of space and seclusion rarely found this close to town. At the center of the estate is a custom-built 2017 home, privately positioned on just under five acres and complemented by a functional barn with horse stalls. Inside, the lower level provides an impressive private living area, including a spacious primary suite with a custom-tiled bath and sliding glass doors opening toward the water views. Additional bedrooms and a second living area provide flexibility for guests, family members, or dedicated private spaces. Central air conditioning provides year-round comfort. Upstairs, the home truly comes to life. A thoughtfully designed custom kitchen offers abundant counter space, generous storage, and a striking custom island that anchors the open-concept living area. Walls of natural light create an inviting atmosphere for both everyday living and entertaining. And then there is the second residence. Listed separately or purchased together at an increased cost. A 2024 manufactured home sits separately on its own private pond, offering 3 beds, 2 baths and is move-in ready. Whether used as an income-producing rental or guest residence, it adds an entirely different dimension to the property. Don't miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime.
