Rising from approximately 2,060 feet to over 2,300 feet above sea level, this distinctive 23+ acre parcel delivers something increasingly scarce in today’s Catskills market: true privacy, protected long-range views, and flexible, ready-to-build terrain — all within easy reach of the region’s most sought-after towns and amenities.

Extraordinary Vantage Point

The land follows a well-established farm road that gently ascends through the property, accessible by vehicle or ATV. That 260 feet of elevation gain is not just a statistic — it’s what elevates the experience from “nice view” to “extraordinary vantage point.” At the upper clearing, you’re rewarded with a full 360-degree panorama across the Western Catskills, with Sunrise Mountain in the foreground and dozens of 2,500+ foot peaks layered along the horizon. Anchoring it all is the dramatic profile of Utsayantha Mountain, rising to 3,200 feet across the valley.

Two Meadows

Two distinct meadows create two very different development opportunities. The approximately 10-acre lower meadow is gently cradled by the landscape — wind-protected, quiet, and exceptionally private — ideal for a primary residence or retreat that feels immersed in nature. The roughly 5-acre upper meadow is bolder by design: open, elevated, and perfectly positioned for the expansive views that define Catskill mountain living. Between these sites, historic stone walls meander through a serene hardwood grove, evidence of long-term stewardship and a sense of history that cannot be replicated.

Roads and Walls

Key infrastructure considerations are already in your favor. The existing road cut from Brownell Road has been well maintained and can readily serve as the basis for a future driveway. Brownell Road itself is paved and town-maintained, and both electric service and high-speed internet are available at the road — a significant advantage over more remote, unimproved land in the region and an important factor for both quality of life and long-term value.

Prime Catskills Location

This is tranquil, not isolated. The property is ideally positioned in the heart of Delaware County, where everyday necessities and authentic Catskills culture are close at hand:

- Bloomville (just minutes away): home to the acclaimed Table on Ten and the western terminus of the Catskill Scenic Trail

- Delhi (~10 minutes): the Delaware County seat, offering SUNY Delhi, a hospital, dining, and full-service shopping

- Stamford (~15 minutes): antique shops, Mount Utsayantha, and a gateway to the Northern Catskills

- Oneonta (~35–40 minutes): Hartwick College, SUNY Oneonta, Bassett Hospital affiliates, and major retail options

From Brownell Road to the George Washington Bridge is approximately three hours — far enough to fully disconnect, yet close enough to support realistic weekend use and extended stays for busy professionals and families.

Stake Your Claim in the Western Catskills

Whether your vision is a private mountain retreat, a multi-generational compound, or a long-term legacy property where family and friends can return for decades, these 23 acres offer a rare combination of seclusion, views, and practicality. Parcels with this mix of elevation, access, and infrastructure are increasingly difficult to find in the Western Catskills.

Instead of spending months exploring back roads in search of “the one,” you can start here — and quite possibly find that your search for the ideal Catskills property ends at the top of this mountain.
