Beautiful and historic 1940's home overlooking Hemlock lake and the historic St. Michael's Mission in Conesus.

It'll take your breath for a moment, and once here you'll surely feel inspired.

Other things to note
Even though this is a large property, it is only being used minimally at this time, so you might feel like there should be other people around, however as it is now, there isn't. It's a large facility, and the convent home sits above it all, and as mentioned, is quite a ways off the beaten path. It's a neat place to hike and be in a natural setting, and is just generally a very tranquil place to be.

Neighborhood highlights

Mission Road, in Conesus NY, Did we say yet that it is definitively off the beaten path? In case not, here is a synopsis. Unless you live on the road, or are the postman, or the occasional sightseer, there aren't many others who come along, as the road is not a thoroughfare. The neighborhood consist of private single family homes, a beautiful winery, and 6600 plus acres of state land, and the 150 acre nature conservancy, which means lots of deer and wildlife. We have lots of deer who will greet you every day, and so with furry friends like these, we'd say the neighborhood is A-ok!
