At Duke Properties, we believe great homes are more than just structures — they’re experiences, stories, and visions brought to life. The recently listed 280-acre estate in Arkville, New York, featuring an extraordinary stone labyrinth, is a rare jewel that embodies exactly that spirit.
A Home Where Art and Nature Intertwine
Set against the serene backdrop of the Catskill Mountains, this $10 million estate is not just a place to live — it’s a place to feel. The crown jewel of the property? A handcrafted labyrinth with 1,680 feet of passageways, towering stone walls, and bronze sculptures inspired by Greek mythology. It’s a dreamscape of art and architecture unlike anything else on the market.
This estate is proof that luxury doesn’t always come from modernity—sometimes it’s found in the enduring beauty of stonework, the echoes of heritage, and the creativity of generations.
Unique New York Estate: Historic Charm, Modern Elegance
Owned by the Erpf family since the 1800s, the estate reflects more than a century of thoughtful stewardship. The main residence, recently renovated, offers over 5,000 square feet of refined space with eight bedrooms, a cupola, and elegant interiors perfect for entertaining or quiet retreat.
This is heritage real estate at its finest—anchored in story, elevated through care, and ready for a new chapter with a visionary buyer.
Albert Dweck’s Take
“This Arkville estate is a masterpiece of intentional living, where architecture, landscape, and legacy align beautifully,” says Albert Dweck, CEO of Duke Properties. “In a time when so many luxury properties feel interchangeable, this one stands apart because it tells a story — and invites you to live inside that story.”
A New Chapter in Country Luxury
The resurgence in demand for upstate New York retreats is no coincidence. More buyers are looking for properties that blend space, history, and artistic inspiration — and this estate delivers on all three. It offers escape without isolation, just a few hours from the city yet worlds away in spirit.
At Duke Properties, we celebrate homes that ignite imagination. This one does so with every stone, sculpture, and sweeping Catskill vista.
For those seeking more than just a house — for those seeking wonder — the Erpf estate is calling.
