Shore Drive is a fabulous rustic lake house (circa 1890) on Cayuga Lake 2.5 miles from downtown Ithaca. 330 ft of frontage w/ full sun and awesome sunsets. Huge dock and hot tub. Incredible lawns and private. NOTE: the railroad tracks come close to the house and so does the road (traffic noise during the week is noticeable). And because of the tracks, the driveway is SHORT AND STEEP. Price based on # of people. See below.

A scenic view of a lake is framed by lush greenery. A table is set between two Adirondack chairs, featuring a vase filled with colorful flowers. The calm water reflects the soft tones of the surrounding landscape.
