At Bellefield, there will be a sense of community brought together by people looking for a meaningful quality of life and a place inspired by the nuances of the changing seasons. Whether you’re in the market for a year-round home or weekend retreat, Bellefield at Historic Hyde Park will feature 801 unique residences. From brownstone style homes to detached cottages and artist-style lofts to private acreage estates, all residences will be designed with regional Hudson River architectural style and within their own unique updated classic American neighborhoods.
Luxurious, yet not exclusive, Bellefield will protect existing natural preserves. Curved, organic-feeling streets will intersect with a network of wide sidewalks and peaceful trails for safe walking in this pedestrian-friendly community.
Bellefield has been designed to embrace the local history and ecology, and positions itself for the future. All homes will be constructed with eco-friendly building materials. To conserve energy, heating and cooling systems will utilize geothermal and solar energy. We’ll conserve water by landscaping and naturally treating our wastewater for ornamental irrigation. We’ll value the land as a true responsible community.
Bellefield is a site blessed with wonderfully diverse landscapes and features; from woodlands to meadows, fields to mountains and streams and wetlands. Throughout the property, a network of trails and open spaces exist to afford residents and visitors to truly commune with nature and drink in panoramic views of the surrounding mountainscape.
For those who like to grow their own, homes will be equipped with sustainable gardening planters and beds.
Bellefield consists of five distinct villages connected by a road hierarchy and open space network. Neighborhoods offer distinct characters and product offerings while still being true to the character and materiality of the region.
Anchored by the farm to the north and the historic water tower to the south, the Village and its ‘Main Street’ create a lifestyle and retail hub to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. Retail focuses on farm-to-table culinary experiences with boutique shops and restaurants local to the Hudson Valley. Working elements of Agrihood into the Village allows for an ‘Edible Main Street’ where landscape can support retail experience. For instance, the local bakery could have a pocket of demonstration wheat or flax planted in front of their store. The Winery could have a vineyard in the back patio, making the connection from farm, to table, literal, direct and experiential. Throughout the community, clustered development allows for areas of preserved. In the neighborhoods these spaces include natural areas, forest, farmland and community amenity buildings and their associated spaces. Within the Village, building arrangement and architecture work with site design to create a series of outdoor rooms and public s in the landscape. These spaces serve multiple purposes, from acting as an extension of architectural program (as the winery opens up onto the vineyard), to playing host to various programs such as seasonal festivals, markets, events and activities.
As the community core, the Village consists of retail, commercial, mixed-use buildings, lofts and multi-family (condo and rental) units.
Connecting to the Ridge is the Terrace, which is planned to have townhome and cottage product.
Overlooking the site, the Ridge neighborhood focuses on estate homes, cottages and patio homes.
The Crescent hosts multi-family, patio homes and hospitality program as well as the second hotel.
