Just 8 minutes from the heart of Village of Ellicottville, this four-season retreat provides the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and mountain-town charm. Situated on 2.8 acres, this ranch-style home features 3 bedrooms, a detached garage, hot tub, peaceful pond, and a spacious deck designed to take in the priceless views.
This property is truly turn-key, with most furnishings included — making it ideal as a private getaway, second home, full-time residence, or high-performing short-term rental.
Why This Property Stands Out
The “Goldilocks” Location
Being just minutes outside the Village means you avoid the traffic and noise, yet you can be on a chairlift, out to dinner, or exploring town in under 10 minutes. You’re also just minutes from Holiday Valley and local tubing adventures, giving you the full ski-town experience without sacrificing space and privacy.
Rare Natural Gas Advantage
Homes with acreage in this region often rely on propane or wood. This property provides natural gas heating and a natural gas grill hookup — a major convenience and typically more cost-effective long term.
Private Outdoor Recreation
With 2.8 acres, a pond, and open views, there’s room to roam in every season. The detached garage provides excellent storage for skis, bikes, and gear — or could potentially be converted into additional guest space.
Strong Rental Potential
Three bedrooms, plenty of parking, acreage, and privacy make this an attractive option for short-term rentals. Ellicottville has demand for whole-house retreats where families and groups can stay together under one roof rather than splitting up across condos or hotels.
If you’ve been searching for a ski house near the mountain with land, privacy, modern convenience, and income potential — this is one you need to see.
