Neighborhood
This home sits directly on Lake Como, offering true lakefront access, a peaceful lakeside garden area, and even a private dock. Lake Como is a small, 64–70 acre lake with a maximum depth of around 20–22 feet. It’s known for its natural beauty and excellent fishing, including bass, pickerel, and tiger musky. The quiet, undeveloped setting makes it ideal for boating, kayaking, and swimming in a serene environment. The neighborhood is calm and private, yet close to nearby towns. Just minutes away, you’ll find the village of Homer and the city of Cortland, both offering dining, shopping, and local conveniences. Larger destinations like Ithaca and Syracuse are also within easy driving distance, making this a perfect spot for both retreat and exploration.
