Set across 280± acres of Catskill Mountain wilderness just over two hours from Manhattan, the Erpf Estate is a rare convergence of soul and scale--a working compound where every structure, path, and sculpture was placed with purpose. The restored colonial manor unfolds across expansive decks and wide lawns, its meditative cupola rising above gardens that give way to forest and sky. A covered cedar staircase descends to the brick gate house, where three independent apartments frame a semi-circular pond along moss-lined bluestone paths. Beyond, a heated pool and bluestone terrace, a five-stall horse barn, a polo field, a tennis court, and an office cabin in the trees complete a property designed for every season of life. At the estates heart, a 1,680-foot stone maze built in 1965 by sculptor Michael Ayrton, the only one of its kind since antiquity, stands as both landmark and invitation. Two trout streams and ten miles of trail do the rest. 390 Erpf RoadEagles Ridge FarmA One-of-One Catskills Legacy Estate390 Erpf Road, Arkville, NYOffered at $10,000,000Set across 280 extraordinary acres in the western Catskills, Eagles RidgeFarm is not merely a property, but a fully realized private world, anirreplaceable convergence of art, architecture, wilderness, and legacy.Bordered by thousands of acres of protected wilderness within thehistoric sphere of the Gould and Rockefeller Catskills holdings, the estateretains the scale and quiet grandeur of a disappearing era. Assembledover generations, the property carries forward a tradition of deeplypersonal estates created not simply for habitation, but for reflection,creativity, and permanence.Unlike many great legacy properties lost to subdivision or time, thisextraordinary holding remains remarkably intact, a singular offering ofcultural depth, ecological scale, and privacy that would be nearlyimpossible to recreate today.Just over two hours from New York City, the property unfolds acrossforests, open meadows, private streams, and mountain ridgelines risingto 2,270 feet. More than ten miles of trails weave throughout the land,revealing swimming holes, moss-covered pathways, sculptural clearings,and panoramic viewpoints that feel entirely removed from the modernworld.At the heart of the estate lies one of the most extraordinaryenvironmental sculptures ever created, Michael Ayrtons stone maze.Conceived by Wall Street investor and contemporary art collectorArmand Erpf after reading Ayrtons The Maze Maker, a fictionalautobiography of Daedalus, the work was commissioned directly fromthe celebrated English sculptor and completed in 1965.Believed to be the largest stone maze built since antiquity, the workstretches approximately 1,680 feet and is anchored by original bronzesdepicting Daedalus, Icarus, and the Minotaur. Both artwork andimmersive landscape experience, it transforms the property intosomething far beyond a traditional country estate, a museum-qualityassemblage woven into the landscape itself, equal parts philosophicalenvironment and living work of art.Near the entrance to the stone maze, a smaller contemplative labyrinthoffers a quieter moment of reflection within the landscape. More than adozen additional sculptures are woven throughout the grounds,reinforcing the estates identity as a place shaped as much byimagination as by architecture.The main residence
