11 Buffalo Street Unit S

About this home

Welcome to 11 Buffalo Street, a charming year-round home located in the unique and historic community of Lily Dale, New York. The first floor offers a comfortable and functional layout featuring one bedroom and a half bath, along with a large eat-in kitchen, dining area, and inviting living room. Enjoy quiet mornings or relaxing evenings on the welcoming front porch, while the private back patio provides another wonderful outdoor space for entertaining, reading, or simply unwinding. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, providing plenty of room for family, guests, or a home office. Unlike many seasonal cottages, this home is equipped for year-round living with hot-water baseboard heat. A metal roof and vinyl siding add durability and help make exterior maintenance easier. Located within Lily Dale, a historic and close-knit community along the Cassadaga Lakes, this home provides the opportunity to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and distinctive character that have made Lily Dale a special destination for generations. Lily Dale is a unique, gated community with strict rules. You must be a member in good standing of the Spiritualist religion, and property is handled through leaseholds rather than traditional land ownership. Housing and Rules: No Land Ownership: You cannot actually buy and own the land under a home. Instead, you buy a leasehold that gives you the right to live on the property for a set number of years. Cash Only: Mortgages are not allowed inside the community, meaning you must buy your home outright with cash. Even without land ownership, you still have to pay property taxes. Religious Requirement: You must be a member in "good standing" of a recognized Spiritualist church and go through an application process with the Lily Dale Assembly board of directors. Community Life: Small Population: Only around 250 to 275 people live there year-round, though thousands of visitors arrive during the summer program season. Land lease is currently $1143/year
