luxury house with terrace for sale Big Indian, United States

Legacy estate built into a hillside at 2,400 feet above sea level with far-reaching mountain views, Sul Monte is a of rare architectural pedigree and natural beauty. Commissioned in 1921 by opera legend Amelita Galli-Curci and designed by Harrie Thomas Lindeberg, one of the most respected country house architects of the 20th century, the home blends European country house traditions with an American sense of scale and ease. The result is a residence both gracious and grounded, expressive in form yet timeless in spirit. Set on 61 acres of terraced lawns, wildflower meadows, specimen trees, and woodlands with walking trails, the property offers sweeping views across the Catskills. Its half-timbered facade, leaded glass windows, and sculpted cedar shake roof evoke the romance of the English countryside, while interiors reveal over 8,200 square feet designed for both entertaining and private living. Enter through the porte cochere into an all-season mudroom leading to the spacious eat-in kitchen and adjacent breakfast room. From here, a generous butler's pantry, complete with original cabinetry, a vintage warming cabinet, and a zinc-clad sink, connects to both the informal dining room with leaded glass and stone floors and the formal dining room with beamed ceilings, fireplace, and a built-in bar concealed behind paneled doors. At the heart of the home, the living room blends comfort, character, and versatility. A wall of built-in bookcases displays books and personal collections, while a deluxe billiards table anchors the space beneath its original pendant light. A cozy seating area centers around the carved mantel bearing Galli-Curci's initials flanked by foxes, an enduring nod to Sul Monte's storied past. With leaded glass windows, wide-plank floors, and period details throughout, the room invites both lively gatherings and quiet evenings at home. Just beyond, a sunroom perfectly frames Catskill Mountain views and offers an inviting spot for a morning read or evening aperitif. Monumental windows framed in stone flood the great room with natural light, accentuating its soaring ceilings and exposed timber trusses. Originally Galli-Curci's private rehearsal studio, the space now serves as a magnificent setting for music, gatherings, or peaceful downtime. Its scale, light, and craftsmanship give the great room a presence that's both impressive and inviting. Up a private staircase from the great room, the primary suite is rich in character, with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, diamond-paned windows, and a deep window seat perfectly poised for taking in the grounds and views beyond. The suite includes a dressing room lined with mirrored closet doors and an en suite bath with original tilework and fixtures, positioned to capture western sunset light. Five additional bedrooms are gracious and well-proportioned, four of which feature finely crafted built-in closets. All six of the home's bathrooms retain original 1920s porcelain fixtures. Tucked into a beautifully landscaped corner of the grounds, the saline, heated pool also enjoys expansive views and offers a tranquil escape just a short stroll across the lawn from the house, ideal for a morning swim, a relaxed afternoon, or gathering with friends at sunset. Other features include an indoor sauna, expansive flagstone terrace, a small barn, a charming shed, and a four-room studio space with a bathroom and kitchen above the garage, currently used as a potter's studio, with potential for guest or staff accommodations with additional improvements. Located minutes from Belleayre Mountain Ski Resort and the hamlets of Phoenicia, Margaretville, and Fleischmanns, Sul Monte is just 2.5 hours from NYC and within easy reach of Woodstock and other Hudson Valley destinations. More than a residence, Sul Monte is a piece of architectural heritage, shaped by Lindeberg's belief that great homes are meant not just to endure, but to be lived in fully and shared generously.

Set across 280 extraordinary acres in the Catskills, Eagles Ridge Farm is not merely a property, but a fully realized private world, an irreplaceable convergence of art, architecture, wilderness, and legacy. Bordered by thousands of acres of protected wilderness within the historic sphere of the Gould and Rockefeller Catskills holdings, the estate retains the scale and quiet grandeur of a disappearing era. Assembled over generations, the property carries forward a tradition of deeply personal estates created not simply for habitation, but for reflection, creativity, and permanence. Unlike many great legacy properties lost to subdivision or time, this extraordinary holding remains remarkably intact, a singular offering of cultural depth, ecological scale, and privacy that would be nearly impossible to recreate today. Just over two hours from New York City, the property unfolds across forests, open meadows, private streams, and mountain ridgelines rising to 2,270 feet. More than ten miles of trails weave throughout the land, swimming holes, moss-covered pathways, sculptural clearings, and panoramic viewpoints that feel entirely removed from the modern world. At the heart of the estate lies one of the most extraordinary environmental sculptures ever created, Michael Ayrton's stone maze. Conceived by Wall Street investor and contemporary art collector Armand Erpf after reading Ayrton's The Maze Maker, a fictional autobiography of Daedalus, the work was commissioned directly from the celebrated English sculptor and completed in 1965. Believed to be the largest stone maze built since antiquity, the work stretches approximately 1,680 feet and is anchored by original bronzes depicting Daedalus, Icarus, and the Minotaur. Both artwork and immersive landscape experience, it transforms the property into something far beyond a traditional country estate, a museum-quality assemblage woven into the landscape itself, equal parts philosophical environment and living work of art. Near the entrance to the stone maze, a smaller contemplative labyrinth offers a quieter moment of reflection within the landscape. More than a dozen additional sculptures are woven throughout the grounds, reinforcing the estate's identity as a place shaped as much by imagination as by architecture. The main residence was fully renovated in 2016 for modern mountain living while preserving its timeless relationship to the surrounding landscape. Spanning approximately 5,300 square feet with eight bedrooms and seven-and-a-half baths, the home opens to expansive terraces, formal gardens, wide lawns, and sweeping mountain views. A cupola crowns the residence, creating a rare balance between refinement and wilderness. Beyond a covered cedar staircase and moss-lined bluestone paths sits a beautifully restored 2,800-square-foot brick guest house with three private apartments, offering flexible accommodations for guests, caretakers, artists, or multi-generational living. The estate further includes: An 800-square-foot pool house with kitchenette and changing rooms A heated 56' x 24' pool with expansive bluestone terrace A five-stall horse barn and polo stick-and-ball field Garages accommodating up to six vehicles An office cabin and trout stream pump house A Har-Tru tennis court ready for resurfacing for tennis or pickleball Wired and wireless high-speed internet and comprehensive security infrastructure Existing systems supporting future off-grid energy potential The land itself is among the property's greatest luxuries. Approximately 40 acres of lawns, meadows, and pasture blend into 240 acres of mixed forest traversed by two year-round trout streams, Bush Kill and Dry Brook, creating private swimming holes, wildlife corridors, and a sense of immersion in nature. Importantly, the property remains free of conservation easements and deed restrictions, allowing unusual flexibility for future stewardship.
