22.5 Acres of Improved Land for Sale in South Kortright, New York

7 buildings on 22+ acres: White Carriage House, Stone Building, Wood Shop (with forge), Horse and Livestock Barn, Main House, Guest House and Schoolhouse. Also, a Spring House and Root Cellar. Infrastructure: First four buildings listed were brought up to full-use by current owner with water/electricity and heat running to all four buildings. Water: Property includes pond, 120-foot well, water rights via Spring House access to neighbor's water rights, and a portion of the West Branch of Delaware River (property line goes to the far shore of the river, narrow at the point that borders the land.) The property is in the NYC watershed; new septic tank installed May 2023 at no cost to owner. Also, as this acreage is in the river valley, there has never been a time, even during drought, that water has been unavailable. (Not the case with several farms/land in area; when a dry season hits, unpredictable of course, and farms run dry, it's a nightmare; never been the case here.) Additional details of land: Orchard, pastures, three paddocks, a knot garden, a vegetable garden. Owner can attest and notarize that no pesticides have been used on the land in 22+ years: all organic. Zoning: No restrictions: zoned for commercial and residential. Cannabis needs an additional permit, and other local business have been granted permits. Annual taxes: $14,831.16 (Property: $9957.72; School: $4,873.44.) Commercial Access: Two driveways to property; parking lot (field behind Wood Shop where freight trucks loaded in/out); capacity of White Carriage House as many as 350 people when used for weddings/events. Property is directly on County Hwy 18 which is plowed during inclement weather allowing 24/7 easy access/egress for business vehicles year-round. Property is directly across from State Route 10, again easy transportation access. History: Original settler J. McLean was a copper magnate and building construction reflects the wealth: the grandeur of the White Carriage House, the stability of the Stone Building (originally, the family's private train depot for tracks that now are used as the 21-mil Catskill Scenic Trail, some of which crosses through this property; owner has farm-right-of-way for cattle or trucks); the size of the rooms in the Main House, the post-and-beam construction of the Horse and Livestock Barn. And the stone wall that surrounds the majority of the property, one of the few in the area still intact, is a testament to the construction and care devoted to the estate.
