How a quick sale turned a sour story into a lovely and prestigious rental on the lake…Canandaigua Lake

5705 Applewood Dr, Naples NY on beautiful Canandaigua Lake as you can see is quite the palatial lake house.  It was, and is again thankfully to Dr Kenneth Hale who purchased it in July of 2011.

Now let’s back track a little.  This lovely lakefront  home consisting of 5,349 sq ft of livable space, 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, 149 ft of lakefront on Canandaigua Lake and a gorgeous covered boat house on a permanent dock was previously owned by a gentleman Jonathan Barnes.

The property ended up being seized by the US Marshalls – fortunately they listed the property immediately. Dr Hale quickly purchased the property, cleaned and furnished it and then entered it as a luxury vacation rental for $9400.00 per week.  Friends of mine rented it for 2 weeks last summer and just loved it.  It is very spacious and accommodating for family gatherings.  During the off-season it is available for $4500/week.  Peak season in 2013 runs from June 14  to September 3, 2013.  I have attached a couple more photos for you below.  It really is wonderful that this home now sits proudly amongst the rest of some very spectacular homes.

Plenty of room to accommodate large gatherings for dinner.

The view is inviting, relaxing and enjoyable.

The lakefront home on Keuka Lake that became known as the house John Travolta purchased ( but did not) is still on the market since June of 2009.  Of course it is not unusual for a home of this caliber to be on the market so long.  The original asking price was $2,500,000.  This home was built and designed for entertaining as you will see in the following photos.

Guests can enjoy the outdoor lap pool and bar on the patio or they can head to the dock where they will find multiple outdoor serving areas. The dock has plenty of space for your guests to arrive by boat.

This is one of the largest lakeside decks that I have seen on Keuka Lake.  There are bars located everywhere in the home as well  as outside in key locations. Even the dock is illuminated very colorfully so that it can easily be seen at night.

Now lets stop inside – the living is room sports a sleek black marble wall.

Or how about waking up to refreshing views of Keuka Lake ?
