The first residence at RidgeVale. Single level, held to the ground, set in three and a half acres of trees.
The architecture is settled — the plan, the materials, the systems, the land. What's left is the part that should be yours: the character of the courtyard, and how the house lives around it.
Three wings turn inward around a central, open-air court. Living, sleeping, and working each hold their own light — joined by the air at the center.
You move through the house and through the weather at once.

The plan wraps a central, open-air court — the rooms face it, light enters through it, the roofline frames it. The quiet center of the house.
The house is complete as it stands — the court arrives as meadow, held between the three wings, open to the sky.
Three characters are curated from the elements — water, stone, fire — each a moment composed from the land it sits on. Make one yours.
Or make it your own. Air is the canvas the house was built to frame — left long, left wild, left to you.
Where we started. Left long, left wild, left to you.
A day inside, room by room.
A single-level house, drawn by INC Architecture & Design, sized for real life rather than display.
From $2.795M — the base residence, before your courtyard and package selections.
Proposed new construction — to be built. Renderings depict the intended design.
Everything on grade — no stairs to climb, no second floor to maintain. Shared rooms open to the ridge; the primary holds the quiet end.
The courtyard does the separating, so each part of the house keeps its own calm.
Lot one of three on the ridge. The drive runs roughly 455 feet off Van Deburgh Close, into its own clearing.
Well, septic, and power are in the ground — the work of siting a house here is already done.
Three and a half acres off Van Deburgh Close — the house set back in the trees, the Catskills on the horizon. From the road, you would hardly know it was here.
Meadow and hardwood, a gravel approach, the Catskills on the far edge. The one part of HighFell you can already walk.

No selections to agonize over, no samples to chase. The schedule is set — each surface specified for how it settles in, not how it shows.
The systems are deliberate and low-maintenance. The house simply works, and asks very little back.
Wooded and still at the door, minutes to the village, a little under two hours from the city. Private — without being a project to get to.
Every ValeHaus frames a courtyard, and the house is complete as it stands. Three characters, curated from the elements — or Air, the canvas left open. One architecture, many compositions — no two homes on the ridge read alike.
Explore the combinations below — nothing to commit to here, just a sense of what's possible. Your composition and its price assemble as you go.
Where we started. The meadow left long, left wild, left to you — the house complete wearing it.
The walk on water. A courtyard mirror crossed wing to wing on floating stone — holding the sky all day, the lit house all evening.
The ledge. A fragment of the ridge inside the courtyard walls — stone you walk through and sit within, glowing at dusk.
Warmth. A flame at the heart of the court — something to gather around, most alive at dusk.
Sauna + cold plunge. A home that restores you — steam, cold water, and quiet, held at the tree line.
Power + resilience. A home that holds steady — the storm outside, every window warm, and you never think about it.
Pool + outdoor kitchen. A home built for people — long tables, open water, and the crowd you bring to it.
The property
Characters and packages are composed with you and quoted as considered bundles — never an à la carte menu. Pricing is established on selection. Renderings are illustrative only.
Before the house, the land. A short film shot across a single evening on the ridge.
The architecture is resolved; the courtyard and amenities are yours to compose. Reach out to arrange time on the land — or to ask anything at all.
RidgeVale is three residences and no more. HighFell takes the highest, most open clearing on the ridge — and it is the first to be offered. NorFell and WesFell will follow, when and to whom not yet decided.
