Renaissance Ridge is being developed as a unique and special intergenerational housing community made up of custom cottages and homes. There will be a diversity of housing & pricing options that reflect the needs of the Rockfish Valley community. Renaissance Ridge will feature homes that are certified energy-efficient, with renewable solar and geothermal energy systems, smart technology, sustainable design and include native landscaping, open green spaces and walking trails to help connect the Nellysford community.
Renaissance Ridge plans to help fill in the gap for the missing middle and provide options for single-family attached and detached homes, townhomes and cottages to those that live and work in Nelson County. With cost burdens at an all-time high, it is more important than ever to work on workforce housing solutions. If you make less than the amount listed for your household size, then you may qualify for financing assistance to buy a home at Renaissance Ridge:

“I would like to live and support the community that I have worked for over the past 14 years. In addition to my love of the people in the community, I also would have a strong desire to live and thrive in the luscious scenery that is Nelson.”
“One of the reasons that I would like to live closer to work is that I can better get to know the community in which I work. Also, I would have more energy to perform extra-curricular activities for the school.”
