About This Home

As of January 2026

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. For those seeking a compound or expanded retreat, the adjacent home is also available for purchase. Inquire for more details.
