1264 Betty Brook Road, Kortright, NY 13842

Sunsets, Solitude, 45 acres -- Wild, Private, and Unmistakably CatskillsTucked into the woods on the western slope of a magnificent 45-acre parcel, 1264 Betty Brook Road offers something increasingly rare in the Catskills: genuine privacy without isolation. The driveway curves gracefully off the town-maintained road and disappears into the trees, opening onto a quiet clearing that feels worlds away from anywhere--yet sits just minutes from Bloomville and Delhi.A Porch That Defines the ExperienceThe covered porch is the heart of how this home lives. A thoughtful addition with a gabled roof tied directly into the main roofline, it functions as a true outdoor room--open-air, column-framed, with a Southern front-porch sensibility that invites long mornings with coffee and unhurried evenings watching the sun drop behind the ridge. In warmer months, this is where life happens.Inside: Light, Views, and Wood HeatThe main living space opens generously onto kitchen and dining areas, anchored by a Quadra-Fire wood-burning stove capable of heating the entire home. A nearly eight-foot bank of triple windows frames the forested hillside on one side; another wall of windows opens to the valley and the deck beyond. The effect is immersive--youre not looking at the landscape, youre inside it.The kitchen offers a generous prep area, a dual-basin stainless sink set beneath a window with mountain views, a four-burner gas range, and ample cabinetry wrapping a small peninsula. The dining area sits beneath a chandelier, just off a mudroom with propane furnace, 100-amp panel, stacked washer/dryer, and a rear door to a back porch.Comfortable Living QuartersThe primary suite includes a queen-sized bedroom with a generous wall of closets and a thoughtfully designed bathroom--dual sinks in an L-shaped corner vanity, a built-in triangular cabinet, a corner soaking tub, separate standing shower, and a striking three-pane skylight that floods the room with natural light.A central hall leads to two additional rooms--a flexible smaller space ideal as an office or single bedroom, and a guest bedroom that easily accommodates a twin--plus a full guest bathroom.The Land: 45± Acres of Catskills DramaThis is where the property truly distinguishes itself. The southwest-facing slope captures spectacular sunsets, with light pouring across the deck through the afternoon. Hiking the land reveals dramatic rock outcrops, steep slopes, and cliffs that rise several hundred feet--a landscape with real character. In spring, fields of wild ramps emerge for foragers and chefs.Systems and SpecificationsThe 1993 single-wide manufactured home was purchased new and sits on a concrete slab, meticulously maintained. Even has a small hand-crafted water-fall. A 650-foot well includes a hand pump backup; water was tested two years ago. The DEC-approved septic system uses a 1,000-gallon tank. Two AmeriGas propane tanks serve the property, with NYSEG electric and DTC fiber-optic internet. The driveway--graded with thoughtful S-curves and excellent drainage--shows no rutting and remains highly serviceable year-round.LocationSituated in the heart of Delaware County with authentic Catskills character close at hand: � Bloomville (minutes away) -- home to the Catskill Scenic Trail � Delhi (~10 minutes) -- county seat, SUNY Delhi, hospital, restaurants, and shopping � Stamford (~15 minutes) -- antique shops, Mount Utsayantha, and the Northern Catskills � Oneonta (~35-40 minutes) -- Hartwick College, SUNY O
