Halfway between the Village of Woodstock, VT and Hanover, NH - and minutes to every recreational amenity in Quechee - Stonehill Farm offers a private refuge on 218 acres including miles of interior roads and trails, an extensive equestrian and tennis facility, a spring-fed pond and acres of open pastures. The circa 1991 manor house, with its Tudor-inflected stone exterior, elegant interior architectural details and soaring two-story library, was designed by noted New York architect Alan Wanzenberg whose overall approach is informed by his deep appreciation for the Arts & Crafts movement. Set high along the top of a south-facing ridge, the Vermont countryside unfolds at your feet with commanding views across the Ottaquechee Valley to Mount Ascutney. The approximately 9,300 square foot, 15-room residence is an elegant and timeless design in richly textured stone, expansive glass, and mahogany details. The main house offers seven bedrooms, nine baths and a recently remodeled gourmet kitchen. Formal living and dining rooms, a 3,200 bottle wine cellar, and a pond-like, heated swimming pool surrounded by bluestone terraces feature among the many amenities. Just down the winding drive lined by an allée of maples, you'll find one of the most expansive equestrian facilities in New England. A recently acquired gatehouse at the entry to the property and the addition of land on the west side of the Quechee West Hartford Road for viewshed protection are recent additions.
