About this property

A truly special opportunity on beautiful Canadarago Lake - Two charming lakefront cottages set on 150' of direct, west-facing waterfront, offering spectacular sunsets, all-day sunshine, and a wonderful sense of privacy on a quiet side street. 179 Marble Road is a quintessential lake cottage filled with storybook charm. Originally built in 1900, the home retains its timeless appeal while showcasing noteworthy authentic barnwood features from its 1970 remodel and recent updates. With three bedrooms and one bath, it is warm, inviting, and delightfully unpretentious-the kind of place where lake memories are made. A new dock extends into the water, while the partially finished basement provides additional living space, convenient storage and a handy spot to grab refrigerated drinks and snacks while enjoying the lake front. 177 Marble Road offers a different, yet beautifully complementary experience. Thoughtfully reimagined, and fully renovated in 2020, the cottage features a modern farmhouse-inspired design with two bedrooms, one bath, and a brand-new, high functioning kitchenette with counter seating. A concrete patio sits just out back with ample space for outside dining, while a full deck spans the lake front, creating an extraordinary perch for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, and sunset gatherings. An existing wooden dock provides direct access to the water. The cottages enjoy an impressive collection of improvements including new roofsdesigned to enhance both enjoyment and peace of mind. A substantial retaining wall was installed six years ago, adding stability & visual appeal. New stairs from the houses to the lake and a new bluestone patio improve access while also enhancing the property's aesthetic. The west-facing view is positioned to capture breathtaking evening sunsets and a perfect view of Canadarago Lake's 4th of July fireworks display. Whether you're looking for a multi-generational retreat, a private family compound, a place to gather with friends, or an investment with two separate living spaces, this property offers flexibility. And while the setting feels wonderfully removed, convenience is close at hand. The cottages are just minutes from Richfield Springs, where you'll find everyday amenities. The village of Cooperstown is a 15-minute drive away. Furnishings convey with the property.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
