5 New York Upstate Homes from Lakefront Acres to Marina Living

Along the water’s edge at the end of Fire Rd. 22 in Three Mile Bay, this lakefront acreage offers a rare chance to shape a summer retreat—or something far more lasting—on Lake Ontario. Nearly 300 feet of shoreline sets the scene for long days outdoors, with the land already arranged for RV or motorhome use so you can pull in a camper and settle into the season. When you’re ready to think beyond weekends, the property also invites the option to build a home or cottage, with ample hunting and recreational land in the background. There’s room to further subdivide for a multi-generational setup, all while enjoying the privacy that comes with this tucked-away location. Views stretch across the water toward Fox Island, changing with the light and weather.
