Betty Brook Rd Lot 16, South Kortright, NY 13842

Perched at 1,640 feet above sea level at the town maintained road and rising gently through an open field, this property showcases three standout attributes: location, views, and an exceptional building site. With 265 feet of easy-access frontage on Betty Brook Road, the lot opens into a generous pie-shaped parcel that opens to over 1,200 feet wide at the upper boundary, climbing to nearly 2,200 feet in elevation. A series of natural terraces creates multiple prime building options: a ready-to-go site in the existing open field, a second, slightly higher spot where the land was previously cleared, and a third opportunity at the upper reaches for those envisioning a true house-on-the-hill. Whichever you choose, the views are striking. Rock outcrops crown the higher elevations, lending a dramatic, almost sculptural quality to the landscape and inviting long, restorative hikes in every season. The southwestern slope positions you perfectly to capture ideal solar gain and sweeping valley vistas over Betty Brook Hollow, framed by distant mountain ridgelines. Located just minutes from the vibrant Western Catskill communities of Delhi, Stamford, and Oneonta, you’ll enjoy genuine privacy with convenient access to everyday essentials and cultural amenities. At under three hours from the George Washington Bridge and just over an hour from Albany International Airport, these remarkable 31 acres offer an accessible mountain retreat with enduring appeal.
