2702 Walt Gilbert Rd

Just outside the Village of Watkins Glen, this welcoming log cabin blends rustic character with everyday comfort. Inside you’ll find 4-5 bedrooms and 2 full baths (one up, one down). An extra-large kitchen with abundant cabinetry opens to the living room for easy flow, and the spacious side deck invites morning coffee with room for many. The full walkout lower level adds wonderful flexibility—think multigenerational living, guest quarters, or an apartment setup. With the addition of a kitchen downstairs, it could function as a mother-in-law suite or separate living space.

Thoughtful updates include a 2018 furnace, brand-new hot water tank, roof (2021), 200-amp electric service, and central air. Newer appliances—range, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher—are in place, plus washer/dryer hookups.

With that Country Vibe, you’re 5 minutes to Watkins Glen International and 10 minutes to Seneca Lake, along with nearby restaurants, shops, and the region’s wine & brewery trails. Tucked just outside the village, this property feels like your own private Finger Lakes getaway—where you can enjoy starry nights, peaceful mornings, and easy access to waterfalls, hiking trails, boating, and lakeside dining.

Whether you’re dreaming of full-time country living, a weekend escape, or an income-producing Airbnb, this turnkey retreat offers exceptional value and versatility. Pre-approved buyers only.
