About the host
Hosted by Zach
As your host, I bring a unique blend of precision and passion to this property. After a decade as an engineer, I traded blueprints for wilderness—discovering something extraordinary in this hidden parcel of land. When I purchased the property, it wasn’t just an investment; it was the start of a mission to share this rare sanctuary with others who crave both adventure and tranquility.
Why they chose this property
This isn’t just a location—it’s an island of solitude. Nestled where civilization fades into pure nature, you’ll find complete isolation without sacrificing access. The surrounding woods and conservation lands create a buffer so profound, you’ll feel worlds away, yet Skaneateles’ charm (and necessities) remain just minutes down the road. It’s the perfect paradox: wild enough to disappear, connected enough to explore effortlessly.
What makes this property unique
~10 acres of private wilderness, bordered by a land conservation trust, transform this from a stay into an expedition. Trails woven through the property lead to hidden waterfalls, dramatic gorges, and overlooks with views that stretch uninterrupted. Unlike typical rentals, here you don’t just see nature—you’re immersed in it, with every path promising discovery. It’s not just land; it’s a living, breathing playground for the soul.
