Ashridge Estate is a private 1,100-acre historic estate in the western Catskills (South Kortright / Stamford, NY) — a complete, single-owner campus for productions, photo shoots, retreats, and private events. One party at a time, full privacy, gated access, no modern sightlines. At its center is an 18-bedroom Georgian mansion built 1912–1914, with an original copper roof, granite fireplaces, Zuber wallpaper, and interiors restored by the artist Hunt Slonem — formal libraries, drawing rooms in distinct color palettes, a grand main hall, and sweeping staircases. An attached gallery hall (a former gymnasium — clear-span and light-filled) seats up to 250 for events. Beyond the mansion: a Greek Revival farmhouse, a private guesthouse, historic dairy barns, an Italian garden, a reflecting pool, a lake, and 8,000 feet of Delaware River frontage. What makes it work is the infrastructure that's already here: institutional-grade power (with generator tie-in), a commercial kitchen and commercial laundry, on-site lodging for 29+, 50+ car parking, and a metal storage barn suited to basecamp. Most estates make you build from scratch — Ashridge arrives ready. Ideal for: film & television, photo and editorial shoots, brand campaigns, executive retreats and board offsites, cultural convenings, weddings, and private buyouts. Access is gated and single-owner — no competing traffic, no neighboring properties in frame, full control from arrival to wrap. Tell us your dates, crew or guest count, and what you have in mind, and we'll tailor the estate to it.
