5 Upstate New York Retreats, Waterfront Land, and Investment Opportunity

Set on 4.28 scenic acres along a quiet country road in Potter Hollow, this brand-new double-wide offers modern comfort designed for low-maintenance living. A spacious floor plan creates an easy daily rhythm, anchored by a bright kitchen with ample cabinetry for weeknight cooking or weekend gatherings. The private primary suite includes its own full bath, while two additional bedrooms and a second bath offer flexibility for guests, work, or hobbies. Outside, the land invites unhurried afternoons: a peaceful brook winds through the property, reached by a private trail, and there’s plenty of room for gardening, recreation, or simply pausing to listen to the sounds of nature. Whether enjoyed as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, life here feels quietly connected to the countryside.

Along the water’s edge on the East Shore of Oneida Lake, this rare waterfront building lot offers 70 feet of direct frontage at the mouth of the canal—held by the same family for 52 years. Days here can unfold at an unhurried pace: watching boats glide past, sinking your toes into a sandy-bottom shoreline, and planning for a private dock to keep your boat close at hand. A short stroll connects you to the lively atmosphere of Sylvan Beach and Verona Beach, while the surrounding area’s flat, scenic paths invite easy bike rides and walks. Public water and sewer are conveniently available at the road, setting the stage for a future dream home or summer getaway. Next to state land, the setting feels naturally private, with sunsets that are meant to be savored from your own front yard.

An attached two-car garage provides a weather-protected secondary entry through a mudroom.
