discovered their lakeside
property in Bemus Point, it
was 1988. They hadn’t thought
about moving, but were instead
getting visionary on the home
they were residing in; discussing
plans to expand the kitchen and
the master bedroom. Playing
tennis with a friend and real
estate agent, one of the owners
was told about a property on
the lake like nothing she had
ever seen. The owner told her
husband and together they went
to see the home that was soon to
be theirs.
Upon first viewing, Belleview
Estate “blew her away”, said
the owner. It’s 1000 feet of
flat lake frontage, spectacular
north lakeside colonial home
and endle ss acreage was like
something she’d never seen.
Immediately they made plans
to sell their home, but took the
chance that it would sell and
purchased Belleview before
anyone else could snatch it up.
The Estate is nothing short
of spectacular. One enters
driving down a six hundred
foot driveway that curves down
through manicured lawns and a
babbling brook beside it. The
driveway slopes gently down
past the barn, tennis court
(resurfaced with the new US
Open colors) and four car heated
garage to the majestic home on
the lake. The nine acre property
seems larger than it is. The
owners’ dogs were happy to
show me around the grounds
before the vibrant owner showed
up.
Large trees litter the property.
The ‘beach’ on the lake is
combed on a regular basis. A 75-
foot dock juts out into the waters
of Lake Chautauqua. I can
attest that this is one of the few
properties on the lake that is flat
to the lake. This proves not only
great for entertaining (which the
current owners love to do), but
provides an almost end-to-end
view of the lake. The property
extends across the brook to ‘the
point’ that extends out into the
bay and affords views on all
three sides. It is on the market,
and the endless possibilities
for development the acreage
grants you, really gets your
mind wandering. The point for
instance, would make a perfect
place for a pergola or perhaps a
boathouse with a rooftop deck
and barbecue.
Large expanses of lawn
surround the house and its
other buildings. Above the
barn is a three acre expanse
of property, that used to be a
cornfield, that could easily be
made into a small development
if one wished, which, because
of the trees and distance from
the house, would enable you to
still have that valued privacy.
Indeed, the possibilities are
endless. Driving up to the main
home, one senses history in the
home, though the owner is sure
to point out that so much work
has been done to the home in
keeping it current, one would
think it was a newly built home.
The evidence is in the details.
The home’s circular driveway
takes you under a porte-cochere.
The entrance has a small rock
porch. The main entrance of
the ‘cottage’ brings you directly
into the living room with its
hand-hewn beams and cherry
floor (the floors were made from
trees from the present owners
father’s cherry orchard). One
immediately notices the views
of the lake, viewed through the
large expanse of Pella windows
in the sunroom beyond the
living room.
The home is noticeably bright
and airy. “The home when we
bought it was black”, said the
owner. “It was very dark with
big curtains and dark walls”, bustle of Bemus Point, and With endless options for
she said. It took a lot of work, close to all major shopping expansion, or the opportunity
but the home is now bright facilities. The owners have to keep the property in its
and full of life, like the owner reared a family here and are current state, will be up to the
herself. The living room contemplating downsizing, next owner, but this property
has window seats (which can I’m not sure how their four is something for the ages. It
be found throughout) and an friendly dogs would feel, is a property that is rare and

lake. With 6 bedrooms and 2.5 left for college and beyond. is truly special.
baths, the home is perfect for
a large family, yet comfortable
enough even for a single person.
Rooms flow seamlessly from
one to the next and all exude
comfort. Beyond the living
room lies the sunroom, the
owner’s favorite room in the
house. Large floor to ceiling
doors and windows and comfy
seating make it a perfect place to
watch the sunsets in the winter.
The formal dining room lies
next to it with its clamshell
nook. The large kitchen, with
sitting and dining areas gets a
lot of use. Large windows also
front the kitchen. The kitchen
is light in color and has all the
attributes needed for formal
and informal entertaining. Two
staircases lead upstairs; the
large main staircase has rich
woods and curves up around a
large chandelier. The second
floor is home to the bedroom
suites that encompass a modern,
country flair.
Small touches here and there
add to the comfort of the
home. The master suite is on
the southeast corner of the
home and offers serenity. A
large bathroom with shower
and dual sinks lies off of the
master. If there’s one thing
the lakeside cottage has, its
storage. The owner believes
you can never have too much
and I agree. Besides the
bedrooms on this floor, there
is also a sleeping porch, which
the current owners have turned
into an office.
The owners added a third
floor recreational room with
deck that has gorgeous views
of the lake and would make a
perfect bunkroom.
Though the property is
secluded and peaceful, it’s
just down the street from the
