Seneca Sol - Profitable, Highly Rated Glamping Resort in the Heart of Finger Lakes Wine Country

Property Overview

Guests return year after year to Seneca Sol – an eco-friendly glamping resort perfectly sized for profitability. This beautiful turnkey glamping property is set atop rolling green hills overlooking the deep blue waters of Seneca Lake. Located in New York’s infamous Finger Lakes wine country, Seneca Sol is perfect for anyone interested in purchasing a successful, already operational glamping resort and/or retreat center.

Consisting of four separate buildings, six established tent camp “glamping” sites, ample on-site parking and three adjoining subdivided parcels for a combined acreage of 22.14 acres, the property could also be purchased as a private family recreational compound. Founded in 2015, Seneca Sol provides an already established brand with an existing online presence, numerous five-star reviews and a reputation for delivering a high-quality, back-to-nature experience.

Seneca Sol also provides a new owner with expansion opportunities in many directions – additional glamping sites, added amenities and a pole barn that could easily be converted into a gift shop, wedding venue and/or meeting center for further revenue.
