About this home
Welcome to Wildemere, a rare and storied lakefront compound set along the western shores of Cayuga Lake, where timeless architecture and old-world craftsmanship come together across two remarkable waterfront homes. Offered together, 1157 and 1159 Taughannock Boulevard provide 300 feet of exceptionally flat and level lake frontage, expansive lawns, oversized docks, a classic boathouse, and a setting that feels transported from another era.
At the heart of the estate is Wildemere, a rare Queen Anne Victorian rich with architectural character. The wraparound porch, rich natural woodwork, and lake-facing windows evoke the quiet elegance of classic East Coast summer estates. Gracious living spaces flow naturally throughout the home, including an elegant lakefront living room, custom bench seating, formal dining room opening to the porches, and flexible den space ideal for lounging or home office use. The updated kitchen blends historic charm with modern functionality, featuring granite countertops, custom built-ins, induction stove, center island, walk-in pantry, skylight, and beautiful natural light. The main level also features a half bath with sauna. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, including the primary suite, two additional bedrooms with beautiful lake views, another full bath, and a laundry room. A walk-up third story offers incredible future potential for a dramatic primary suite or private retreat awaiting your inspiration.
The neighboring sister cottage, 1159 Taughannock Boulevard, offers a charming and complementary waterfront retreat with twin turret rooflines, inviting covered porch, warm natural wood interiors, and beautiful lake views throughout. The home features a main-level bedroom and full bath, updated kitchen, comfortable gathering spaces, plus three additional upstairs bedrooms and a second full bath, creating wonderful flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
Outside, the estate continues with expansive lawns, multiple garages with storage, and exceptional opportunities for expansion, boating, and recreation. Wildemere is a true legacy property where summers stretch a little longer and memories are made for generations to come....
