The Erpf Estate A Singular Legacy of Architecture, Art, and Untamed Beauty Tucked within 280 acres of protected wilderness in the heart of the Catskills, the Erpf Estate is a rare confluence of visionary design, natural splendor, and cultural heritage. At once grand and serene, the property offers an unparalleled opportunity to steward an estate with profound artistic and environmental significance—one that invites both preservation and possibility. Unencumbered by deed restrictions, this private mountain sanctuary presents extraordinary potential: a luxurious multi-generational retreat, a boutique hospitality concept, a center for artistic and wellness pursuits, or a sustainable living compound. The infrastructure is in place to support expansion, creation, and legacy-building on a scale rarely available in today's market. At the heart of the estate lies one of the most extraordinary artistic installations in the world: a monumental stone labyrinth designed by British artist Michael Ayrton. Described as "the only one of stone since the 4th or 5th century B.C.," the semi-subterranean maze extends 1,680 feet with stone walls reaching up to 10 feet, inviting both exploration and contemplation. Time Magazine called it an "environmental sculpture," underscoring the family's enduring commitment to integrating art and landscape. Anchoring the property is a graciously modernized 5,300-square-foot main residence, redesigned in 2016 to reflect both timeless architecture and contemporary comfort. With eight bedrooms and seven and a half baths, the home features expansive decks and patios, sun-drenched interiors, and a meditative cupola overlooking manicured lawns and sculptural gardens. A nearby 2,800-square-foot brick guest house, discreetly tucked along a wooded drive, offers three separate living quarters ideal for guests, caretakers, or continued use as a creative retreat. The estate's amenities reflect both luxury and purpose: • A 56' x 24' pool and 3,500-square-foot bluestone terrace with adjacent 800-square-foot pool house • A three-car 1,000-square-foot garage, two-car 600-square-foot garage, and 400-square-foot office cabin • A five-stall 1,440-square-foot horse barn with pasture and polo practice field • A Har-Tru tennis court (ready for resurfacing for tennis or pickleball) • Nearly one mile of frontage on Bushkill and Dry Brook Streams, with private fishing, swimming, and a trout-fed stream via a dedicated pump house • A network of ~10 miles of scenic trails, crossing meadows, mountaintops (including Mead Hill at 2,270 ft), and year-round streams * A covered clear cedar staircase leads from the guesthouse to a bluestone patio and a perfect half circle pond With a central wood furnace and infrastructure in place for solar energy, the property is primed for off-grid capability without sacrificing comfort. Advanced security systems ensure complete peace of mind. The landscape also offers endless opportunities for recreation—mountain biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, equestrian activities, hunting, fishing, and sustainable agriculture. A thoughtfully restored building lot just past the entry bridge—complete with stream views—is one of several potential sites to expand the compound. The Erpf Estate is offered with its curated collection of furnishings and approximately 20 outdoor sculptures. A complete inventory is available upon request. Located just over 2 hours from New York City, the property is minutes from the revitalized Belleayre ski resort, two premier golf courses, the historic town of Margaretville, and the prestigious Tuscarora hunting and fishing club. This is more than an estate. It is a legacy—one waiting to be continued, reimagined, and cherished for generations to come.
