Hudson Valley · Litchfield Hills · Beyond
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
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.
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.
A soaring timber A-frame anchored on stone terraces, with glass to the peaks and a fire at its heart. Our approach, carried to the mountains.
Images are architectural renderings. Designs are illustrative and subject to change.
Our Approach
We acquire and select sites for their light, views, privacy and character. Orientation, topography and the existing landscape shape every plan.
Timeless forms drawn from the region's barns, farmhouses and stone walls, reinterpreted with generous glass, quiet modern detailing and honest materials.
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
We focus on established, sought-after communities where rural character is protected and a weekend, or a life, is a short drive from Manhattan.
