Frequently Asked Questions: 11440 County Highway 14

Does the property have a name? 

Yes, the family has affectionately referred to this farm as 'Turoe Farm" name after the 2,000-year-old ornate granite pillar decorated with Celtic La Tène style carvings, originally located in Bullaun, County Galway, Ireland. Turoe Farm is a three-building residential compound at 11440 County Highway 14 in Delhi, NY, combining a mid-1800s farmhouse, a modern entertaining building known as the "man cave," and a historic dairy barn with an attached auto barn.

How many acres does the property have?

Recently subdivided from a larger parcel, the farm sits on 16+ acres of rolling Catskills upper range land. A small stream flows through the middle of the lot and there are two ponds.

How many bedrooms does the farmhouse at Turoe Farm have?

The farmhouse offers three to four full bedrooms across the second floor, plus a first-floor room that can serve as an additional bedroom suite with its own full bath, and a finished third-floor attic that provides bonus sleeping space.

What is the "Guest Lodge" at Turoe Farm?

The Guest Lodge is a two-story building connected to the farmhouse by a covered breezeway. The ground floor holds a workshop, laundry, and garage bay; the second floor is an entertaining space with pond views, a wet bar, a wood stove, a chef's kitchen, and seating for twelve or more guests.

Is there space for car storage or a vehicle collection at Turoe Farm?

Yes. The auto barn addition off the historic dairy barn offers a full concrete floor and space for a dozen or more vehicles, with glass doors facing the pond and rough-in plumbing already in place for a future bathroom.

What outdoor features does Turoe Farm have?

The property centers on a kidney-bean-shaped pond with a windmill and a fire pit ringed by ten Adirondack chairs, framed by the farmhouse, man cave, and barn complex, with a stone kitchen garden along the connecting breezeway. A second pond sits across the creek and up the right side of the property.

Where is Turoe Farm located relative to Delhi and Oneonta, NY?

Turoe Farm is just minutes from the village of Delhi, under half an hour from Oneonta, and under three hours from the George Washington Bridge, making it accessible for both full-time living and weekend retreats from the New York metro area.

Can the dairy barn at Turoe Farm still be used for vehicles or storage today?

Yes. The original 1850s dairy barn retains its concrete floor and some original cow stanchions, but has been structurally updated with new beams, and its second floor — a former antique shop — remains in excellent condition for storage or workshop use.

Town of Delhi, NY

Nestled in the foothills of the magnificent Catskill Mountains, Delhi offers so much to visitors, locals and businesses alike. The area is anchored by the quaint college town feel of the bustling Main Street in the village of Delhi, while also offering the magnificent splendor of our agricultural landscapes and fantastic surrounding towns.

Located in the largest of all the counties in the Catskill region, the greater Delhi area is the political and cultural center of Delaware County, New York. With a diverse population of full-time residents, an extremely healthy second home owner community and approximately 2800 college students attending SUNY Delhi, the Delhi area is brimming with passionate and active community members committed to economic growth while maintaining the pristine beauty of our area.

The village of Delhi, located at the center of the town of Delhi, sits on the West Branch of the Delaware River, at the junction of Routes 10 and 28. It’s population of about 5,000 is comprised of an eclectic mix of people with deep roots in the community to new transplants escaping urban lives, featuring a diversity of occupations including farming, manufacturing, artists, health-care, technology, education, and more. The village of Delhi is the region’s liveliest gathering place and includes a well-kept three-block Main Street with a variety of stores, restaurants and cafes. Here you can browse eclectic galleries, antique shops, an artisan guild featuring local talent, and more.

At one time, Delaware county was the largest producer of dairy products of any county in the U.S. Today, in Delhi and the neighboring towns like Franklin, Hamden and Walton, the number of working dairy farms is much less, but the verdant valleys and pastures that fueled the industry still exist and are powerful attractions for both tourists and new transplants, looking to get away from the more congested urban areas. People are drawn to the area’s year-round outdoor beauty and recreational activities, as well as it’s rich arts and culture offerings. Whether it is live, original music, world-class theater or thought-provoking and inspiring fine art, it is within arms-reach. In fact, it was Delhi’s vibrant Main Street, extensive outdoor activities and arts that helped Delhi secure sixth place in Budget Travel’s 2015 list of “America’s Coolest Small Towns”. Because of all of this, and the fact that Delhi is within relatively easy reach of New York City, many New Yorkers see it as an attractive location for second homes. And with the advent of high speed internet, many ex-urbanites make Delhi their permanent home and telecommute to jobs anchored in NYC.

With a population of approximately 3,000, the Village of Delhi nearly doubles in population each fall when students arrive to attend college at SUNY Delhi, part of the renowned State University of NY system for higher education. The college campus is located on 625 acres just outside the village off Main street. Already highly regarded as a 2 year college it is expanding its 4 year programs that currently include Nursing, Hotel & Restaurant Management, Technology and Golf and Turf Management programs. SUNY Delhi is also home to the Catskill Mountain Music Festival.

Heading west on Route 28 lies the city of Oneonta, NY with approximately 13,000 people. Oneonta is home to two college campuses: SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick College, which combine to bring over 7,000 students to the city. Delhi residents take advantage of Oneonta’s amenities, which include the Southside Mall and Cinemas, the Holiday Lanes bowling alley, and a bustling main street full of restaurants and shops.
