Fully Off-Grid Cabin-Style Home with Workshop and Pond on 18 acres in Bath NY 7283 Dineharts Crossing Rd in the Finger Lakes Region

Centered around a cabin-style home, a versatile workshop, and a picturesque stocked pond, this property offers a truly unique country lifestyle, located in Bath NY, in the Finger Lakes Region.

Discover more than 18 acres of maintained tillable and timbered land featuring a one-bedroom, one-bath lofted cottage, a 3-bay detached garage/workshop, several outbuildings, a stocked quarter-acre pond, and private access to Five mile Creek. Powered by a professionally installed solar energy system, this one-of-a-kind property is ideal as a private retreat, recreational getaway, or year-round residence.

A well-maintained private driveway leads to ample parking beside the cottage, a graveled parking area in front for 4-5 cars, a boat or an RV, or inside the 42′ x 24′ concrete-floored garage/workshop. The custom-built cottage constructed with local timber offers an inviting open-concept living area with rustic character throughout. The kitchen includes a refrigerator, propane burner cooktop, built in dishwasher, and center island with a dining area for everyday meals or entertaining.

Just off the dining area is a full bath with a 5ft tub and shower, vanity, toilet, and wall-mounted propane heater. Upstairs, the loft provides room for two to three additional beds, with two already in place and divided by a beautiful sliding barn door for privacy. A comfortable nook overlooking the main living area creates a perfect space for reading or working.

A professionally installed 7.6 kWh solar system, including an eight-battery bank, motorized sun-tracking panel array, and smart monitoring, powers both the home and workshop with ease. There is also a 16ft windmill on the pond which provides aeration to the pond during the summer months and keeps ice at bay during the winter.

Enjoy high-speed 5G Wi-Fi throughout the home, workshop, and surrounding buildings. The wraparound deck is ideal for grilling with high-capacity propane, entertaining, or relaxing in the quiet country setting. An insulated utility room houses the hot water tank, electrical panel, washer/dryer combination, and water holding tank. The poured-foundation crawl space provides convenient access for storage, utilities, and routine maintenance.

Outside, the property includes a fenced garden area, multiple storage buildings for equipment and recreational vehicles, and a beautifully maintained stocked pond with its own shed. Beyond the pond is a large open meadow suited for tillable ground, wildlife food plots, or a personal wildflower meadow. Approximately 9.5 acres of mixed hardwoods surround the cottage, providing excellent habitat for turkey, whitetail deer, and waterfowl. At the western edge of the property, Five Mile Creek offers private, year-round access. Directly across the road lies over 2000 acres of public access to the Urbana State Forest as well, making this an ideal location for outdoor recreation seekers and hunters alike. A short 15 minute car ride puts you into the heart of downtown Hammondsport, 25 minutes to the Switzerland Inn and multiple wineries including Weis Vineyards, Domaine Leseurre, and Ravines Wine Cellars with dozens more being even closer on the West side of Keuka Lake.

Properties offering this level of privacy, infrastructure, and recreation are exceptionally hard to find. With 18+ acres, off-grid power, private septic and water, useful outbuildings, and a picturesque pond and meadow, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey Finger Lakes retreat.
