This secure Vermont retreat sits high on a hill on 55 protected acres. Architect designed, a premier builder, and built on the history and character of two fully reconstructed antique post & beam frames. Unquestionably one of the nicest homes in Woodstock. Five (5) bedrooms, four (4) bathrooms, & over 6,000 sq-ft of living space finished to an exacting level of detail. There is beautiful interior space, private guest quarters, four working fireplaces, & high-end master bathroom finishes. Soaring cathedral ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with a huge walk-in pantry, 6 burner Wolf gas range, and a large Sub-Zero refrigerator. The massive central stone fireplace, magnificent P&B frames, and old wide plank floors are quintessential Vermont architecture. The grounds have a duck pond, old stone walls, mature maple trees, a four-car garage, & an impressive 4-stall timber frame horse barn. A newer cedar shake roof & re-sided cedar shingle in 2019 complement all the modern conveniences of the 21st century - high speed internet, whole house generator, underground power. Most of the neighbor's holdings include protected land in VT Current Use. Happy Valley Road is on the exclusive easterly side of town with quick access to, and away from, the major metro hubs of Boston & New York City. Did we mention the two snowmobiles & 6-wheeled Polaris Ranger included in the sale? Enjoy snowmobile trails, wandering the estate, biking & sledding on your secure Vermont domain!
