Lighthouse Otter Lake Cabin, Circa 1930 in New York. $220,000

November 1, 2022

This is a unique house! The Lighthouse Otter Lake Cabins was built in 1930. In the 1960’s the lighthouse and cabins were sold separately, but remains as The Lighthouse Association. The listing is a bit confusing to me. It is located on .25 acres in Forestport, New York. The house features hardwood floors, large deck and a laundry chute. The home is situated on Otter Lake. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,280 square feet. $220,000
