$10 million estate in Arkville, New York is on the market, boasting a unique feature: a sprawling stone maze. The property, which has been in the same family since the late 1800s, spans over 280 acres and includes an eight-bedroom Colonial-style home with seven bathrooms.

    The main house, built in 1970, offers nearly 5,300 square feet of living space. However, it's the winding stone maze that steals the show. Completed in 1965, the labyrinth stretches for 1,680 feet, with walls reaching up to 10 feet high and bronze statues of Daedalus, Icarus, and the Minotaur.

    The maze was commissioned by financier Armand Erpf, who was inspired by a book about the mythological inventor Daedalus. Erpf's children spent decades playing in the maze during family reunions, describing it as an enchanting place with an otherworldly echo.

    Beyond the maze lies 40 acres of lawns and meadows, as well as 240 acres of mixed forest. The property also features a pool, tennis court, guest house, office cabin, and six-car garage. The main house was renovated in 2016 to include modern amenities, while maintaining its picturesque charm.

    The estate's natural attractions include swimming holes, streams, and moss-lined paths, making it an idyllic retreat for those seeking solitude. With its unique maze and stunning surroundings, this property is sure to captivate anyone looking for a truly one-of-a-kind home.
