Stunning Rochester Home Sits on Former Mayo Family Land

You know that feeling when you pack a bag, head out of town for the weekend, and finally just unplug?

This home somehow gives you that exact same vibe... without ever leaving Rochester.

I swear, this town keeps surprising me. Just when I think I've seen every cool neighborhood and unique home around Rochester, another one pops up that makes me do a double take.

Tucked away on Mayo Woodlands Road in Southwest Rochester, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 5,000+ square foot beauty sits on over two acres of gorgeous land that, according to the listing, was actually once owned by the Mayo family. And while you are only about five miles from the hustle of downtown, it feels like you are a whole world away.

The wildlife alone would be enough to win me over. We’re talking bald eagles soaring above, deer casually wandering through the trees, and the most peaceful views that change with the seasons. I can totally picture sipping my morning coffee out there... or watching a summer thunderstorm roll in from the covered pavilion.

And can we talk about that pavilion for a second? It's gorgeous. Complete with a wood-burning fireplace, it's just begging to be used year-round.

But then you step inside the home, and it gets even better.

The kitchen is absolutely fabulous, featuring a massive island that’s clearly meant for hosting, custom cherry cabinetry, and high-end appliances. It is a total dream.

But there is one specific room that completely caught me off guard.

A 1,475-square-foot heated recreation room.

Seriously... what wouldn't you do with that much space? A home gym? An indoor pickleball court? Basketball? A giant playroom? Epic movie nights? It's a room with endless possibilities!

Downstairs, the luxury keeps going with heated concrete floors, a spectacular wet bar, and plenty of space to entertain.
