Looking for the next steward of this remarkable 1881 historic stone home and its 52 acres of fields, woods, and cleared land. Built by Civil War veteran Lewis Baily using a rare English dry-stack method - stone laid without mortar - the residence remains one of the last original standing stone homes in Schuyler County.

Crafted from local stone and slate sourced directly from the property, the structure has stood proudly for nearly 150 years, including its original slate roof, which has never leaked. Set on a quiet country road, the home is surrounded by rolling acreage, mature trees, and a gentle stream that winds through the sloped woods and along the field's edge.

The upper fields offer sweeping views, while the location provides the perfect balance of privacy and convenience - just minutes from Watkins Glen, the international racetrack, and Seneca Lake, yet wrapped in peace and rural tranquility. The property includes multiple outbuildings and generous garage space, ideal for projects, storage, or future expansion.

Near the home, you'll find mature fruit trees and wide yard spaces ready for gardens, gatherings, or expanding the original home. Inside, the home features deep-set stone windows, a mostly open main floor that curves around the central fireplace (now a freestanding stove), and hardwood floors preserved beneath the current carpeting.

Upstairs are three cozy bedrooms and a full bath. This property is being sold as-is, offering a rare opportunity for a new owner to restore, update, and re-imagine a truly historic Finger Lakes homestead - honoring its past while shaping its future.
