Condition & Current Use

This working farm property in the Catskill Mountains of Delaware County offers a rare combination of active agricultural infrastructure and an emerging hospitality destination. The property sits at elevations ranging from 1,843 to 2,193 feet with sweeping mountain views, and features predominantly open grassland and pasture (79%) with a deciduous forest border (16%).

Current Use & Structures The developed portion of the property anchors a multi-structure compound currently under renovation as a micro-resort and wedding venue. Key features include an 8,000 sq ft barn, numerous horse stalls, and supporting outbuildings with road access. The compound is actively growing its hospitality programming and is well-suited to agritourism, events, and farm-based guest experiences.

Available Agricultural Land (~78 acres) The remaining acreage is currently operating as a working cow pasture and hay fields and is available for lease or partnership to the right farmer or farm operation. The land is in excellent condition (vegetation health index: 86/100) and is well-suited for a wide range of agricultural uses including pasture, hay production, orchards, perennial crops, diversified vegetables, flowers, and low-input specialty farming.

Soil Types

The majority of farmable acreage is Willowemoc channery silt loam — a productive, well-draining loam characteristic of the western Catskills and well-suited to hay, pasture, orchards, and diversified crops. Gentler slopes (3–8%) offer the most workable g

Production Preferences

Livestock / Crops Description

We welcome vegetables, cut flowers, wildflowers, herbs, fruit trees, orchards, perennial crops, native plants, and nursery operations. Specialty and medicinal crops considered. Livestock negotiable — equine operations are of particular interest given existing horse stall infrastructure on the property. We are an active and growing micro-resort and wedding venue, and strongly prefer farmers whose work enhances the guest experience — farm-to-table produce, U-Pick, agritourism, and event-compatible farming are ideal. Cannabis considered for qualified licensed operators.

Additional Property Information

We welcome most agricultural activities that are compatible with an active micro-resort and wedding venue. Preferred uses include orchards, U-Pick, cut flowers, wildflowers, vegetables, herbs, perennial crops, native plants, nursery operations, and equine activities. Farming that enhances the guest experience is strongly preferred — think farm-to-table, agritourism, and visually beautiful land uses. 

Activities that would create excess noise, odor, or visual disruption to resort guests or wedding events should be discussed in advance. Large-scale industrial or chemical-intensive farming is not a fit. Cannabis considered for licensed operators only. We are collaborative by nature and open to creative arrangements — the right farmer becomes a partner in the broader vision of the property.
