The Villa on Esperanza is a one-of-a-kind luxury home overlooking Keuka Lake. Set above the west branch of the lake, and overlooking the Bluff, this home has some of the most stunning views of Keuka Lake that you will find in the area. You'll feel like you are living in your own Italian villa here with some of the best amenities:
*Hot tub
*Theatre room
*Pool table
*Bar
*Outdoor Kitchen
*Gardens, waterfall and garden pond
*Sauna
*Exercise room
This home was built to amplify the sunset hours with the outdoor gardens with its water features, walkways, large covered patio spaces, a gorgeous outdoor kitchen, and a hot tub all placed to face toward the west and enjoy the sunset views over the lake.
The interior spaces of the home were built to enjoy the view of the lake from many of the rooms. There are large floor to ceiling windows and patio doors in the main living areas of the home that bring the sunshine and lake views in. Walking in the front door you'll be invited in to the open foyer which has cathedral ceilings and a grand staircase down to the main living area. On this upper floor there is a gracious game room with a pool table, shuffleboard, a table for playing cards as well as a lovely bar with a bar sink, and bar fridge.
The upper floor has 3 bedrooms. To the left of the entry is a cozy bedroom with glass doors overlooking the foyer/windows in the cathedral area and a King size bed. Beside this smaller bedroom is a King Suite with an attached full bath (tub/shower) and an additional attached sitting room. Across the hallway is a Queen suite with an attached full bath. This bathroom can also be accessed by the game room area and is the main bath on the upper floor.
Walking down the grand stairway to the lower floor, you'll walk into the main living area. To the left is the sunken living room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake and leather couches. To the right is the large, fully stocked Kitchen with a prep island and an additional entertainment island for dining as well as an additional, more casual, sitting area. There is a walk in pantry, as well as a half bath, located behind the Kitchen. The Kitchen flows into the Dining area, which comfortably seats 10, and from there you can walk out the patio doors on to the gracious covered patio, making a smooth transition from indoor dining to outdoor dining/entertainment. The outdoor covered patio has a farmhouse table and chairs to enjoy dinner al fresco while watching the sun set.
The Primary bedroom is tucked behind the Living room and is a King bed suite with an attached bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, a custom primary bedroom closet, and patio doors to the outside gardens/patio. The sauna room is located off of the Primary bedroom
Bedroom 5 is also located off of the living room and beside the half bath
The Lower level also has a small exercise room with a treadmill and stair stepper.
From the Dining room, you can navigate the hallway through the wine cellar and back to the in-home theatre room. The Theatre room has a projection system and comfortable couches, making it the perfect spot to wind down with a late night movie and a bowl of popcorn. The projection system has been outfitted to a Roku so you can watch smart tv or choose a DVD from the extensive collection of classics, mystery, adventure and kids movies (There are some really good ones here!!). The theatre room also has an attached half bath.
The outdoor spaces at the Villa make this place outstanding. There is a waterfall/stream that runs through the gardens and ends in a pond. There are patios and walkways built in around the gardens/water features and these lead to the covered pavilion and enormous outdoor kitchen. The kitchen is outfitted with a sink, bar fridge, gas grill and griddle. There is an island in the center for sitting around to enjoy finger foods and wine while you grill or you can relax in the Adirondack chairs beside the pavilion. There is a gas firepit with seating built in to the landscaping beside the pavilion. (Outdoor features such as the pond/waterfall, outdoor kitchen, and some outdoor furnishings are only available seasonally)
Walking over to the large covered patio, you'll find multiple outdoor seating areas. The patio has a large outdoor dining table and here is where you will find the hot tub as well. The hot tub is perfectly positioned so that you can't miss the sunset and you've got that 5* star view of Keuka Lake while you relax in the warm water.
Take a few steps down to the lower grassy yard area and you can enjoy a game of cornhole.
This home has great proximity to the lake itself, Keuka State Park is just around the corner (a 2 minute drive) and you can access the lake from the park or launch a boat from the dock area at the park. The home is just a few minutes from some of Keuka Lake's fantastic wineries and about 8 minutes from the town of Penn Yan. This home is the perfect blend of "quiet getaway" mixed with "convenience and accessibility". You'll feel like you are in your own private paradise and may not feel like you need to leave the property at all during your stay....but if you choose to get out and about, it is not far to local restaurants, wineries, etc.
The home does have the water features (pond/waterfall) just outside the back doors and is also set on a sloping hill. We welcome families of all ages, but we do want guests to be aware that small children will need to be watched closely because of the proximity of the pond to the house.
