The Catskill Farms — Local services in Town of Mamakating

Our Catskill Farms journey was very successful and we love our home.

In 2021, we spent time researching building a house from scratch, decided we were up for the challenge and bought a piece of land in the Catskills. After facing immediate supply chain challenges and having a loss-of-faith moment with a contractor, we quickly came to the realization that we were going to waste a lot of money and time vetting vendors and sourcing materials in a difficult market. We needed to find a partner that we could trust to guide us through all of the unforeseen challenges involved in building a new home in the Catskills.

That new partner was Catskill Farms and it was a fortuitous change. They know the area and have great vendor relationships. They are constantly working on new projects which means their subcontractors are very responsive to their needs and prioritize Catskill Farms projects.

A company that builds homes should understand the importance of strong foundations — yet the foundation here is cracked by coercion and immorality. For clients, vendors, or employees, I would strongly advise avoiding Catskill Farms. You do not want to build your future home on rotten...

As a real estate agent I have sold literally millions of dollars of Catskill Farms' homes. I have sold both new construction and resale. Not one of my resale clients sold because of any other reason than life changes. All of them were reluctant to do so, they really loved their Catskill Farms house. They were financially rewarded by their sales price - these home have fantastic resale value. I have also had clients that entered the buying process early on, when the home was just a foundation or framed out. They were able to work with Catskill Farms to customize finishes to their own tastes. Not one of my new construction buyers have had regrets. I just had cocktails at a happy new owner's home. They absolutely love...
