Refined Lakeside Living on Chautauqua Lake. Tucked along the protected waters of Driftwood Bay on Chautauqua Lake, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of privacy, beauty, and effortless lake access. From the moment you arrive, the home feels like a retreat—surrounded by mature trees, thoughtfully designed gardens, and the quiet rhythm of the water just steps away.
Designed for both intimate living and elegant entertaining, the home reveals a sense of craftsmanship and individuality at every turn. Originally built in 1979 and completely reimagined with a significant expansion in 1991, its contemporary architecture balances warmth with sophistication. Light-filled living spaces open to a covered porch where mornings begin with coffee and soft lake breezes, and evenings end with sunsets reflecting across the bay.
The layout offers both comfort and flexibility, including a private first-floor guest suite with its own entrance—ideal for hosting family and friends with ease and discretion. Two dedicated boat slips invite spontaneous afternoons on the water, whether for boating, swimming, or quiet reflection.
Perfectly positioned just minutes from The village of Bemus Point and a short drive to the renowned Chautauqua Institution, this home captures the essence of refined lakeside living—where nature, design, and lifestyle come together in perfect harmony.
