8806 Route 98

Welcome to 8806 Route 98, where the views are gorgeous, the porches are enormous, and your biggest daily decision might be which one to sit on. Completely rebuilt from the ground up, this home sits on nearly 3 scenic acres directly across from the 300-plus-acre Harwood Lake Multiple Use Area, often called Harwood State Park. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hunting, trapping, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and photography—your outdoor recreation menu is longer than most restaurant menus, and nobody’s asking if you want to upgrade your fries. Let’s talk porches. The FRONT covered porch measures a whopping 8x28, giving you 224 square feet to sip coffee, admire the scenery, and announce, “We really should do something today.” Out back? ANOTHER 8x28 covered porch, because sometimes you need a change of scenery without the inconvenience of putting on shoes. That’s 448 square feet of covered space dedicated to mastering the art of sitting down. Need storage? There’s a spacious full attic plus a 12x12 shed with a loft AND its own covered porch. Even your lawn mower gets a place to relax after work. Two above-ground propane tanks are included to help keep things cozy when Western New York switches from “beautiful fall foliage” to “where did the driveway go?” And while the setting delivers country living and amazing views, you’re approximately 10 minutes from Rushford Lake and just 18 minutes from the center of Ellicottville. Spend the day on the water, head into the village for dinner, then come home to your own scenic retreat. All-new home. Nearly 3 acres. Outdoor adventure across the street. Two giant porches. Bring your kayak, your fishing pole, and a comfortable chair. Especially the chair. Showings begin immediately.
