Teasel Hill
A Rare East Side Sanctuary on Skaneateles Lake
1561 Red Tail Lane | Skaneateles, New York
(Located 4.5 Miles from Village Pier)
Offered at $1,900,000 USD
Tucked into a gently elevated bluff on the coveted east side of Skaneateles Lake, this year-round lake house is a rare convergence of timeless Adirondack spirit and refined, modern comfort. With 180 feet of private, crystal-clear shoreline and panoramic sunset views, the property offers an immersive four-season experience.
Set on 1.31 acres and recently renovated throughout, the home exudes understated luxury with natural wood textures, soft neutral tones, and curated moments of lakeside drama. A massive sleeping porch spans the entire west-facing façade, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame astonishing views over the water and cast golden light deep into the living spaces.
Inside, the main level features a lakeview kitchen with an oversized island, a generous dining area for hosting family and friends, and an open-concept layout that flows into multiple gathering zones. It is perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding by the lake. There are four bedrooms and two full baths, plus a laundry room and air conditioning for effortless year-round living. The home comfortably sleeps 12 or more.
At the shoreline, a rare concrete waterfront platform with removable seasonal dock provides seamless access to swimming, boating, or sunbathing. The boathouse doubles as a garage for watercraft and includes a rooftop deck that serves as your front-row seat to summer sunsets and stargazing. Across the private lane, additional land offers space to expand parking or construct a garage.
Short-term rentals such as Airbnb and VRBO are allowed, making this a versatile investment property or legacy retreat with income potential. Whether you are seeking serenity or celebration, this is a place to gather, to savor, and to make lifelong memories.
