Resolved where it counts. Yours where it matters.

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.

The Idea

Distinct rooms. One courtyard.

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 Courtyard

The room without a roof.

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.

Compose · Courtyard Characters + Living Packages

Twenty-four ways. One of them is yours.

Every ValeHaus includes a courtyard — the choice is its character. One architecture, composed twenty-four ways, so 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.

Courtyard Characters

Choose one
Water — a reflecting courtyard

Water

From $65,000 · indicative

Reflection. Still water at the center — a mirror for the sky, and the sound it makes of the rain.

Stone — a composed gravel courtyard

Stone

From $45,000 · indicative

Stillness. The court composed in stone — grounded and seasonless, as considered in winter as in June.

Sanctuary — a low flame set into cloven stone at the heart of the court

Sanctuary

From $85,000 · indicative

Warmth. A flame at the heart of the court — something to gather around, most alive at dusk.

Living Packages

RO — the wellness package

RO

The wellness layer. A home that restores you — steam, cold water, and quiet, held at the tree line.

GRUND — the infrastructure package

GRUND

From $85,000 · indicative

The infrastructure layer. A home that holds steady — power, water, and control built into its bones, so you never think about them.

The gathering layer. A home built for people — long tables, open water, and the crowd you bring to it.

The center of the plan

From $2.795M — the base residence, before your courtyard and package selections.

Proposed new construction — to be built. Renderings depict the intended design.

HighFell floor plan — three wings on a single level around a central courtyard
The Plan

Three wings. One level.

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.

The Site

Three and a half acres, in the trees.

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.

HighFell

Held in its own clearing.

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.

The Land · Photographed on site

The ground it stands on.

Meadow and hardwood, a gravel approach, the Catskills on the far edge. The one part of HighFell you can already walk.

Photography by Sundae Spaces.

Inside

A day, room by room.

The Film · RidgeVale Nocturne

One night on the land.

Before the house, the land. A short film shot across a single evening on the ridge.

The Setting

Private, but not remote.

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.
