A Toymaker's Legacy Cottage on Lake Erie in Fredonia

River Frontage on the Saranac in Cadyville

490 feet of river frontage, 5.5 acres, and a Tuesday-morning view of the Saranac that most people only get on vacation. This two-bedroom home (the finished basement could be a third, or an office) sits with no neighbors in sight and a trail through the woods out back. Fifteen minutes from the city, but the bald eagles and blue herons out the window don't seem to know that.

A Boardwalk to Cod Creek on the Northern Neck

A boardwalk leads straight from the house to Cod Creek — tidal water that connects through the Little Wicomico River to the Potomac. At $499,000 on 1.05 acres in Northumberland County, this is Northern Neck waterfront at a price that still makes sense, especially after a $40,000 reduction.

2026-07-06

Lakefront Cottage on Pickerel Lake in Colchester

There's a private, bass-only lake in the middle of Connecticut that most people driving by would never guess exists — no public access, no through traffic, just this one quiet stretch of shoreline. A hundred feet of it comes with this $399,000 cottage, plus a private dock, a bunkhouse out back, and a brook with its own little footbridge running through the yard.

Waterfront Cottage on Patuxent River in Hollywood, MD $499,900
2026-07-03

Waterfront Cottage on Patuxent River in Hollywood, MD

A private pier, boat lift, jet ski ramp, and a small beach at the water's edge — all on the Patuxent River at $499,900. The catch: this one's sold as-is, and the septic system has failed. For a buyer who can work through that, the waterfront infrastructure alone is hard to find at this price.

2026-07-01

Boat-Access Cabin on a Private Cove of Tenmile Lake

This 7-acre cabin only has one way in: by boat. Tucked into Tenmile Lake's quiet Blacks Arm, it comes with merchantable timber, a cleared trail through the property, and a rare year-round creek that feeds the cabin's water supply. There's no road to maintain and no neighbors to speak of — just a private cove and whatever you bring with you.

A Head Start on Shaws Pond in New Durham $299,000
2026-06-30

A Head Start on Shaws Pond in New Durham

This is a blank slate on Shaws Pond, a 70-acre, crystal-clear pond with no boat traffic to speak of. The 2.1-acre lot already has a rustic cabin with electricity, a composting toilet, and a dock pulled up onshore — just no well or septic yet, so this is really a buildable waterfront lot with a head start. A walking path already leads from the driveway straight down to the water.

2026-06-27

Riverfront Retreat on 3 Acres of the Colorado River near Wharton

Three acres on the Colorado River, and the river is the whole point. This 2-bedroom home sits on land that runs straight down to the water, with a year-round county boat ramp just up the road for the days you actually want to launch something bigger than a kayak. There's also a dedicated RV pad, in case the people who love this place start multiplying faster than the bedrooms can handle.
