Skaneateles, consistently rated as central New York's most charming town, is a thriving residential and business community, yet remains a town where residents exchange phone numbers using only their last four digits. The historic downtown, with buildings dating from 1796, is adjacent to the picturesque lakeside community park, and surrounded by wonderful old stately homes. The Skaneateles school district is ranked (by US News and World Report) as one of the best school districts in the United States.

The Finger Lakes region's beautiful rolling vineyards produce internationally recognized wines and draw vacationers from around the world. This idyllic town and incredibly pleasant environment are only 25 miles from Syracuse International Airport.

Pristine Skaneateles Lake is a 300-foot deep, 15-mile long, glacially-carved lake which serves as the municipal water supply of the city of Syracuse. As one of the cleanest lakes in the country, water does not need to be filtered before distribution to users! Skaneateles Lake has the highest clarity of any of the Finger Lakes, and provides endless summer recreational opportunities.

The scarcity of buildable land in Skaneateles, coupled with the demand for luxury housing in this area, has made Butters Farm a rare opportunity.

Historic farmlands in Skaneateles are now the site of the town's first approved residential "performance subdivision," designed to protect significant acreage as open space. Views from atop the rolling hills of Butters Farm create the backdrop for your new custom home.

This site, at the edge of one of the most charming villages in the Northeast, offers picturesque vistas of rolling countryside. Numerous treed borders give this upscale neighborhood unexpected privacy.

Most of the Butters Farm will remain natural and green forever, including expansive wildflower meadows, three beautiful ponds, lovely wooded areas, and a nature trail that extends all the way to the new Skaneateles Community Recreation Center, Austin Park, and the Village's schools!

One-of-a-kind elegant homes are the trademark of this exclusive town neighborhood. A strict architectural design standard will ensure your new neighborhood will be built to high standards that will stand the test of time.
