The Setting

Wooded setting surrounding the property

Hidden down a quiet drive, completely invisible from the road, The Riverlight House sits nestled among nearly five acres of lush forest, songbirds, and filtered sunlight.

You are minutes from the rail trail and the village of New Paltz, and just four minutes from the bus to NYC. But standing here, surrounded by deer trails and the chatter of birds, the city feels a world away.

The Home

Solarium overlooking the trees and river
Back of the house showing outdoor access

The Riverlight House is a split ranch filled with natural light and thoughtful upgrades. Every bedroom opens to the outdoors. The solarium overlooks the trees and river, catching morning sun and evening glow alike.

Thanks to its forested setting, the house stays surprisingly temperate—cooler in summer, cozier in winter. We often find ourselves dressed for the forecast, then adjusting once we're home.

We've made investments for comfort and peace of mind:

  • A new roof with a 50 year full warranty
  • Seven whisper-quiet mini splits, providing efficient heating and cooling
  • Full-home water filtration system
  • Miele dishwasher, induction range, and retractable skylights

What We Love

"We're moving to the Netherlands, but if we could fold this house into our suitcase, we would. It's our dream home."

We've raised chickens and ducks here. Our son took his first steps beneath these trees. Our daughter roasted her first marshmallows in the fire pit. The Riverlight House isn't just scenic—it's soul-nourishing.
