592 La John Road, South Kortright, NY 13842

This is a designer home built for simplicity and efficiency, I call it a home within a home. During the colder months a good portion of the house can be sealed off if you do not want to use it and heat it while you still have a great functioning place. The sealed off part is still easily accesible.The six zone heating system with the top of the line boiler and water heater is all contained in a new basement foundation along with two oil tanks. Anderson windows and pella doors. Front door is a beautiful reconditioned French door. Second floor bedroom has a private Juliet balcony. Home is private, quiet and secluded with no traffic but still a five minute drive for hardware and groceries. It is open and spacious on the bottom floor. All windows strategically placed for a breeze and cross ventilation. Solid built but still has the old cabin rustic feeling. It is a constant work in progress. Construction is of the finest materials with attention to detail and function. Projects continue on the home and new features are added as time permits. Truly a gem waiting to be finished. All the grunt work is done. On a small private community road with only $250 a year dues for year round road maintenance. Taxes before the star program are around $1600. Waste pipe for 2nd floor bath is in place ready to be hooked up. A well thought out space in a unique terrific location.…More Less

What I love about the home

Things I love about this house is the openess, wood stove, views and Sunlight! Sunshine! Sunlight! Sunshine! Huge deck area with more room to expand. It is a sunworshippers dream. "Au naturale" on the decks and only the deer will blush. The back of the house has a magnificent deck that is like a cocoon that stays warm even when temperatures get cold. It is ready to easily be finished and have a superior mountain getaway. All the grunt work has been done. The construction is solid and massive, built to last and not worry about constant repair, It was completely dismantled down to the sticks and built back with an addition put on, I also had the mountain moved back to create a cozy warm sun filled back space with rock ledge and stone wall. You truly need to experience and feel it to appreciate it. A gem of a home. Or as one of the builders said... "This is a sweet place".
