Description

EVER DREAM OF HAVING YOUR OWN SLICE OF HEAVEN ON CANANDAIGUA LAKE? This is an extraordinary and rare opportunity to own over 130 feet of level shale beach on one of the Finger Lakes’ most beautiful shorelines. With gas, electric, public water and sewer, this property offers a truly special combination of lakefront charm, convenience and future possibilities.

A Storybook Summer home on an exclusive lane filled with the charm of yesteryear. This wonderful lake retreat welcomes you with beautiful hardwood flooring, inviting porches & an abundance of spaces designed for enjoying lake life with family & friends. The country kitchen opens to a side patio, while the expansive front porch is the perfect place to gather, relax & listen to the hypnotic sound of the waves. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a wood stove, extending the seasons and making this an inviting retreat well beyond the summer months.

With four bedrooms plus a large sleeping porch, there is room for family & plenty of guests to stay & make memories. Built-ins, abundant storage and the option for a turn-key purchase make this property ready to enjoy. And the views and outdoor spaces are simply magical, with multiple porches, patios & docks providing endless places to take in the breathtaking lake & Bristol Hill views.

Step right into the crystal-clear waters, swim from the dock, days on the lake or simply sit back and watch the sunsets transform the sky. The landscape and setting have an unmistakable Adirondack feel, creating that rare sense of being away from it all while still being just minutes from shopping & restaurants in Canandaigua & a short drive to Naples.

Situated on a private drive, Shale Beach Drive offers a peaceful setting & wonderful morning walks along the lake. The approximately 131’ x 290’ lot extends all the way to County Road 11 and offers exciting possibilities for future expansion. One of the best full service lots on the East side of Canandaigua Lake.

A truly rare Canandaigua Lake offering where the lake, beach, views, charm and location come together to create the perfect summer retreat!
