11 Rugged Ridge Way, Keene Valley, NY 12943

Perched high above the valley floor on a dramatic, south-facing mountainside, Edge of the Ledge offers one of the Adirondack Park’s most commanding views. Overlooking Giant Mountain, the Great Range, and the surrounding wilderness, this bespoke residence was completely reimagined in 2017 by master builder Bob Biesemeyer in collaboration with the Philadelphia-based Barbara Geisel Design firm.
The home is a masterclass in understated elegance and thoughtful craftsmanship. The main level welcomes you with a striking entry that opens into a living space framed by expansive mountain vistas. Custom Vermont cabinetry and black walnut accents echo throughout, from the primary suite’s built-ins to the handcrafted dining furniture. Anchoring the space is a grand wood-burning fireplace and access to an open porch that captures both sunrise and sunset.
A chef’s kitchen, outfitted with a Wolf range, Subzero appliances, and exquisite millwork, flows into the dining area and a serene screened-in porch—perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings. The lower level features a media-style living room, two guest suites with ensuite baths and mountain views, a handsome office with built-ins, and a generous laundry room.
Completing the property is a two-car garage with a private, one-bedroom guest suite above—ideal for extended family, guests, or a quiet work-from-home retreat. This is a rare offering that delivers high design, privacy, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
