Welcome to Rushing Waters, an historic luxury estate, and one of Western New York’s most prestigious addresses. This nine-acre, one-of-a-kind property sits proudly on the cliffs above Cazenovia Creek in charming East Aurora. Built in 1883 by prominent banker William Cornwall, the design was inspired by his travels to the Rhine Valley. Known locally as ‘the castle’, the estate blends impossible-to-recreate historic craftsmanship and building materials with elegantly appointed amenities. Every modern convenience is present within this beautifully preserved architectural gem. The main residence glows with all the warmth and character of original hardwood floors, leaded glass, handcrafted millwork, and multiple fireplaces. The heart of the home features an updated chef’s kitchen with soapstone countertops and custom cabinetry, a generous great room with unique custom features, a formal dining room perfect for hosting, and a study with stunning built-ins and leaded windows. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private haven that includes a dressing area with custom cabinetry. It is accompanied by additional well-appointed bedrooms, sitting areas and baths. The third floor’s highlight is an astounding office with a hand-hewn turreted ceiling, and breathtaking 180-degree views of the grounds and surrounding area. Framed by a stone wall at the road, the grounds and gardens are equally impressive. Spend summers entertaining and enjoying the private pool and patio, quiet reflection by the pond, or relaxation on the screened porch surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping. A separate three-bedroom, 1.5-bath guest house is attached to the three-car garage, offering ideal accommodations for extended family, guests, or potential rental use. The garage provides ample space for your cars and other toys, with a bonus unfinished loft area that’s perfect for storage, studio, office or workshop. Don’t miss your opportunity to own one of Western New York’s most iconic and enchanting properties, and live a lifestyle that simply can’t be replicated. Schedule a private tour today to experience the magic of Rushing Waters—your once-in-a-lifetime estate awaits.
