These are not idle words simply meant to peak your curiosity. These descriptive terms define the essence of what the Sullivan County Catskills of NY really mean to me.
Being married to a native daughter of these mountains gives me some perspective on the life style here. My very own dairy princess comes from a farming family in the Beechwoods Area of Western Sullivan County.
These Beechwoods, defined locally as the road that runs over the mountains between Jeffersonville, NY and Callicoon, NY (County Route 164) are home to majestic views, somewhat isolated property parcels, and my wife’s home farm.
Many second home residents have chosen to live on this rural route and extend their abodes to the surrounding hills, dales, and glens of this truly bucolic and serene landscape. Of course, the original families and local folks also share the bounty of this land.
The rural nature of Western Sullivan County lends itself to privacy. We have a small year round population which means fewer neighbors.
Comfort is a personal concept. I’m positive you have already interpreted how you want to relax. I am reinforcing that privacy and comfort are often critical factors in wanting to be here in the mountains.
Affordability is also a key element for those wanting privacy and comfort. Not much has changed since your parents and perhaps grandparents made off to the mountains in search of a cooler summer and a swim in the Delaware River.
Western Sullivan County, NY is awaiting your exploration. When you settle down here, be prepared for a slower, sweeter, and more affordable life style. You deserve it.
