Property Description

Built in 1909, this 3 bedroom cottage offers over 50 feet of Chautauqua Lake frontage and has been lovingly renovated while keeping every bit of its original character. The remodeled kitchen with new appliances makes it as easy to live in as it is charming, and a loft primary bedroom and a bunk room that sleeps four add to its cozy, storied feel. With no rear neighbors, the setting feels private and peaceful, and a detached barn with garage, workshop space, and loft storage gives you room for every toy and project. Set on the calm, no-wake side of the water in Stow, it’s steps from the historic Stow-Bemus Point Ferry and the corner store and ice cream shop that have anchored lake life here for generations. Summer means mornings on the water and evenings at the firepit. Fall brings crisp air and changing colors across the lake. Winter turns it into a snow-globe retreat, with ice fishing out front and skiing a short drive away. Close to Route 86, Bemus Point, and Chautauqua Institution, and about 90 minutes from Buffalo. Dock, lifts, and furnishings are negotiable. Lake cottages with this much history rarely come up, and this one is ready for its next chapter. Square footage in tax records is inaccurate and does not account for kitchen addition.
