5580 Peach Orchard Road Hector, NY 14841

Set on 252 feet of private Seneca Lake frontage along the coveted eastern shoreline, this exceptional Finger Lakes retreat offers the rare combination of privacy, scale, and effortless waterfront living. Tucked away on a quiet, year-round maintained dead-end road in Hector and serviced by municipal water, the 1.48-acre lot presents outstanding flexibility, with potential for future subdivision while preserving separate water frontage, designated access, and dock space. Thoughtfully designed across three spacious levels, the home features 4–5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, offering abundant room for gathering, hosting, and unwinding for generations to come. A beautifully executed 2015 addition enhances the residence with an attached two-car garage, a light-filled family room, a generous kitchen with sweeping lake views, and a private bedroom wing with central air. A whole-house generator provides additional peace of mind.
Framed by the rolling, vineyard-covered hills of the Finger Lakes, the property is designed for elevated outdoor living. Expansive lawn areas invite recreation and entertaining, while a detached two-car garage, storage shed, raised garden beds, and a natural stone fire pit with seating create both function and charm.
Waterfront access is effortless and versatile, with two distinct shoreline experiences connected by a newer wooden boardwalk. One route follows a gentle slope to a wooden dock and beach area, while a wide staircase leads to additional lakefront amenities, including a covered pavilion and a newer dock equipped with a boat lift and jet ski lift. Inside and out, every detail has been curated for comfort, ease, and memorable lakeside living. The serene primary suite offers a spa-inspired bathroom with a radiant-heated tiled shower and a private lakeside balcony, while the expansive wraparound deck sets the stage for unforgettable sunset gatherings. Exceptionally well maintained and rich with thoughtful, creative details, this property is equally suited as a full-time residence, luxury vacation escape, or generational retreat where lasting memories are made on the water. A full list of special features and recent updates is available.
