Limestone and glass country residence beyond a wildflower meadow

Country houses,
built with intent.

Exurban Development creates luxury residences on exceptional land in the quiet, prosperous country within reach of New York City.

We believe the best country homes begin long before the first drawing. They begin with the land: the way morning light falls across a meadow, the line of an old stone wall, the view a house should frame for the next hundred years.

Residences

Houses that
belong to their land.

Pine Plains  ·  Dutchess County, NY

The Pine Plains Residence

A composition of limestone, dark timber and glass set back across a wildflower meadow, with long views to the Taconic hills. Inside: warm oak, travertine and plaster, rooms that open fully to the landscape, a primary suite facing the meadow, a wine room and a golf simulator.

The Ridge House

Stacked volumes of fieldstone and glass step down a granite outcrop toward the river. Every principal room opens onto a terrace facing west, so evenings belong to the view.

I

Land First

We acquire and select sites for their light, views, privacy and character. Orientation, topography and the existing landscape shape every plan.

II

Rooted Design

Timeless forms drawn from the region's barns, farmhouses and stone walls, reinterpreted with generous glass, quiet modern detailing and honest materials.

III

Built to Endure

High-performance envelopes, efficient mechanical systems and skilled local tradespeople. We build homes that are comfortable in every season and made to last generations.

Where We Build

The country,
within reach.

We focus on established, sought-after communities where rural character is protected and a weekend, or a life, is a short drive from Manhattan.
