Location:   Located in Delaware County, the foothills of the Catskills. Approximately 170 miles from Manhattan, 12 miles from Oneonta, in the town of Kortwright, near the village of East Meredith.

 


Land:   Cleared and worked over 100 years ago by the original settlers, these 45 +/- acres of lush, beautiful earth are comprised of feildstone fenced gently sloped open meadows and pastures perfect for gardening and livestock. Potential spring-fed pond site. Enjoy quiet nature walks, cross country skiing and trail rides through the unlogged hardwood forest abundant with signs of wildlife.

Floors:   Ground Level: Hand-cast and richly pigmented surfaces of cement, cast-on-site adobe and locally quarried large-cut native blue stone, some as large as 24sq ft x 2 in thick.
Upper level: Combination of hand-picked and seasoned 8” T+G hand-finished white pine, with vintage hemlock (1890’s) stairwell.

 


Heating:   Clean and energy efficent, state of the art LPG furnace. Provides foot warming comfort via the in-floor radiant heat throughout the ground level. Cast-iron baseboard and vintage restored radiators (reclaimed from Delaware Academy) insures warmth in the deepest winter to the upper level.

 


Waste water management:   Municipally approvaled 1000 gallon tank with leach field.

 


Domestic Water:   105 feet deep well provides 100+ gallon reservoir with a 2.5 gallon per minute recovery.

 


Kitchen and Masterbath:   Since most would agree that these spaces can be extremly personal, we have opted not to create them without input from potential owners/users. We have allowed a budget for kitchen and masterbath and several suggested design plans are available. We’re prepared to collaborate with you to create spaces that are in harmony with your lifestyle.
