About this home

Looking for a rural building lot but you don't want a long drive to work or services? Here is a rare opportunity to find a reasonably priced 3+ acre building lot within minutes of Ithaca and Cornell University. This isn't a slice out of a farmer's corn field, it's well developed with trees and grass and wildlife and even a small pond. Plant your house, build a barn, get those chickens you've been wanting, have a dog, pull on your boots and tramp through your very own park, or blaze some trails with your 4-wheeler. So many possibilities. And when the day is done relax in the peace and quiet of your own private kingdom.

The purpose of the Rural Residential (RR) District is to define an area of the Town where residential uses situated in a rural landscape constitute the primary land use. Public water and sewer does not exist in this area. Single- and two-family homes are the predominant form of development. Agriculture is also expected to be a substantial land use well into the future.
