Escape to the Lake! Located on the sought-after west side of DeRuyter Lake, this classic three-season cottage offers 57 feet of pristine waterfront and everything you need for unforgettable summers. The main camp features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, an open living/kitchen area, and a cozy enclosed porch with stunning lake views—the perfect spot for morning coffee, rainy day card games, or watching the sunset. Just steps away, a separate bunkhouse provides 2 additional bedrooms and a half bath—ideal for guests, kids, or extended family. The .33-acre lot is manageable, with mature trees and expansive lake views. Easy steps lead directly into the water, offering convenient access for swimming, paddling, or launching a kayak—making it a true lake lover’s retreat. Bonus features include a full, unfinished basement with laundry (washer & dryer included), and plenty of storage space for all your water toys. This is the kind of lakefront property that rarely hits the market—low-maintenance, high-enjoyment, and ready for your next chapter of lakeside living.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
