NevelHaus, an innovative turnkey home building platform for modern eco-friendly homes in idyllic natural settings, recently launched a brand new first-of-its-kind collection of eight luxury homes in the historic Hudson Valley hamlet of Stone Ridge, New York. NevelHaus has engaged the New Development team at Ryan Serhant’s eponymous multidimensional brokerage SERHANT. and the Upstate Curious Team of KW Realty Hudson Valley North to co-market the collection of exceptional houses designed and developed in partnership with award-winning firm INC Architecture & Design.
Located on 44 wooded acres minutes from the Main Street Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, the collection of customizable three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath homes are designed for today’s most discerning consumer and now available for purchase. Interior features include 30-ft vaulted ceilings, over 925 square feet of entertainment space, 9 inch wide-plank European white oak flooring, a cozy wood-burning stove, custom oak cabinetry with integrated appliances, bathrooms with heated radiant flooring, a reading nook and office, outdoor terraces, and an outdoor shower.
The timeline from purchase to move-in is typically 8-10 months, an enviable duration for new construction in the current environment of material and labor shortages. The NevelHaus process eliminates the worry of supply chain issues and uncertainty associated with building from the ground up.
“We’re thrilled to offer buyers the opportunity to purchase a NevelHaus after our initial launch in the Catskills sold out at a rapid pace as we address extreme demand for new construction homes with impeccable design,” said Pelle Hamburger, co-founder of NevelHaus. “We identified an incredible location for a NevelHaus collection that affords both an all encompassing lifestyle for owners with the ability for true customization.”
Optional elements for buyers include the luxury of an in-ground pool, garage/studio, carport, whole house generator, and solar panels. Each NevelHaus will be strategically sited to optimize exposure for solar. The rustic yet refined aesthetic includes warm cypress wood and a steep pitched roof, a nod to iconic rural barns, which gives homes a modern silhouette and a gracious vaulted loft inside. Many homes have seasonal mountain views.
“The pandemic accelerated many would-be second home owners to pull the trigger on purchases outside the city and the mentality of a weekend escape has transformed into longer stretches of time for true flexibility,” says Ryan Serhant, CEO and Founder of SERHANT. “NevelHaus addresses unprecedented demand for a quality end-product – on par with new developments in Manhattan – quickly and efficiently in a novel format that is resonating for its convenience, optionality and spectacular design.”
“The limited inventory of ground up turnkey homes in prime upstate locations has created a challenge for buyers,” said Megan Brenn-White of the Upstate Curious Team. “It’s exciting to introduce exceptional new development that is the only of its kind for the upstate market to our deep network in the Catskills and Hudson Valley. We anticipate a rapid sellout.”
NevelHaus was co-founded by Joshua Gelb and Pelle Hamburger in 2020. The two NYC-based developers partnered with the award-winning firm INC Architecture & Design, responsible for the design of notable and architecturally-significant hospitality and residential properties in the New York area, including 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge and the TWA Hotel.
NevelHaus also has a licensing arm which offers land owners anywhere the ability to build a NevelHaus. Licensees can recreate floorplans, modify and customize in coordination with local permitting codes and requirements. To date, clients as far as Vancouver and Portugal have embraced the NevelHaus method.
Stone Ridge features famous stone houses such as the Hasbrouck House and the 1767 Cornelius Wynkoop Stone House, where George Washington once slept.
