About This Home

731 East Handsome Brook Road

Set along year-round East Handsome Brook on 13.57 acres in the Western Catskills, this 2022 creekside contemporary blends modern design, superior build quality, and proven short-term rental performance with a fully booked 2026 summer season ahead. Vaulted ceilings and oversized windows frame forest and water views, filling the open living space with natural light. The kitchen is anchored by a substantial island, custom cabinetry, and elevated finishes that set this home apart. Wide-plank flooring and clean architectural lines create a refined but grounded interior. The main level offers a private primary suite along with a guest bedroom and full bath, while upstairs a third bedroom and bath function as a separate suite-like retreat. Bathrooms in the home feature welcoming heated floors. The full walkout basement is unfinished but plumbed for an additional bathroom, and the septic system is sized for five bedrooms - providing real future flexibility. A full-length 40ft long rear deck - partially covered for all-season enjoyment - spans the back of the home, overlooking the brook and the rolling land beyond. A manicured lawn surrounds the house, then a 40 foot span footbridge crosses the year-round stream to a private firepit beside the water. Beyond the brook, a quad trail rises through open meadow and mixed deciduous woods toward elevated valley views. All set on a quiet, town-maintained road for reliable year-round access. Built with modern efficiency as a priority, the home features spray foam insulation, a high-efficiency heat pump HVAC system, heat pump water heater, and an insulated concrete form foundation for durable, energy-conscious performance. Located approximately 22 minutes from Cooperstown All-Star Village, the property is fully booked for the 14-week 2026 season with roughly $60,000 in gross revenue already secured. Peak summer rates reach $750 per night, with off-season bookings ranging from $450–550. Equally suited as a second home with meaningful income offset or a distinctive full-time residence near Franklin, Delhi, and Walton, this is creekfront Catskills living with architectural integrity, efficiency, and a true sense of place.
