位於一條漫長私密車道的盡頭，老鷹嶺莊園高高坐落於阿肖肯水庫之上，佔地超過九英畝，提供難得的寧靜、不受阻礙的山景，以及一個深植於歷史的家的優雅靜謐。周圍被百年濕地紫丁香和寬廣的草坪所環繞，這座擁有五間臥室、三間浴室的住宅總面積為3566平方英尺，涵蓋三層樓，每個房間都體現了永恆的設計和精心的工藝。

室內充滿溫暖和真實感——從原始的紅橡木裝飾和藏門到內建的玻璃櫃、鑄鐵散熱器以及足下的美麗楓木地板，再到整體9英尺的天花板。主層提供了寬敞的佈局：正式的客廳和餐廳，由一個大型的木燃石壁爐居中，還有明亮的日光室式早餐房，以及一個俯瞰後院和游泳池的寬敞廚房。廚房和浴室隨著時間的推移而更新，但仍然保持著家的特性，包括一個爪足浴缸和經典的瓷磚裝飾。下層的額外房間和前廳提供了靈活性，可以用作辦公室、遊戲室或創意工作室。美麗的玻璃橡木裝飾法式門通向石頭露台，並可欣賞到喀茲基山脈和水庫的景色，提供了室內與戶外生活的完美融合。

在頂層，完全設有窗戶的天文台風格空間提供360度的景觀——這是一個非常特殊的環境，曾經被這座房子的原擁有者J. Waldo Smith用來監督阿肖肯水庫的建設，當時八個城鎮被重新安置，以為紐約歷史上最重要的基礎設施項目之一鋪路。

住宅最初由Smith本人——阿肖肯水庫的首席工程師所建，採用當地開採的羅森代爾石，因其堅固和持久而被選擇。在Smith家族之後，這座住宅成為切斯家族莊園的一部分，演員切維·切斯在此度過了青春的一部分——為這一歷史性物業增添了另一層文化遺產。

在戶外，地下的加熱鹽水游泳池、石頭露台和起伏的後院草坪非常適合夏季聚會和靜謐時光。兩車車庫、埋地電纜、電池備用系統、待機發電機和全新的Buderus鍋爐確保了這個物業的運行與外觀同樣完美。高天花板的地下室提供了儲存空間和未來潛力，而成熟的樹木和山間空氣安靜地圍繞著整個莊園。

Set at the end of a long, private driveway, Eagle Ridge Estate sits high above the Ashokan Reservoir on over nine secluded acres, offering rare peace, unbroken mountain views, and the quiet grace of a home rooted deeply in history. Surrounded by century-old lilacs and a broad open lawn, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence spans 3,566 square feet across three floors, with timeless design and intentional craftsmanship in every room.

Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and authenticity—from the original red oak trim and pocket doors to the built-in glass cabinetry, cast iron radiators, and the beautiful maple floors underfoot, to the 9-foot ceilings throughout. The main level offers a gracious layout: formal living and dining rooms, centered by a large woodburning stone fireplace, a bright sunroom-style breakfast room, and a spacious kitchen that overlooks the backyard and pool. The kitchen and baths have been updated over time, yet remain true to the character of the home, including a clawfoot tub and classic tilework. A bonus room on the lower level, along with a foyer, provides flexibility for an office, playroom, or creative studio. The beautiful glass oak trimmed French doors lead out to the stone patio and views of the Catskills and Reservoir, offering the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living.

On the top floor, a fully windowed observatory-style space offers 360-degree views—a truly special setting once used by the home’s original owner, J. Waldo Smith, to oversee the construction of the Ashokan Reservoir as eight towns were relocated to make way for one of the most important infrastructure projects in New York’s history.

Originally constructed by Smith himself—Chief Engineer of the Ashokan Reservoir—the home is built from locally quarried Rosendale stone, chosen for its strength and permanence. After the Smith family, the home became part of the Chase family estate, where actor Chevy Chase spent part of his youth—adding another layer of cultural legacy to this historic property.

Outside, the inground, heated saltwater pool, stone patios, and rolling backyard lawn are ideal for summer gatherings and quiet moments alike. A two-car garage, buried electric lines, a battery back-up system, a standby generator, and a new Buderus boiler ensure the property functions as beautifully as it looks. The high-ceiling basement provides storage and future potential, while mature trees and mountain air frame the entire estate in calm.
